LoopMash
Audio Parameters
Click the Audio Parameters button (above the transport controls) to open the Audio
Parameters page. With the options on this page you can influence the sound of the
LoopMash audio output.
The following parameters are available:
Performance Controls
Click the Performance Controls button to open the Performance Controls page. On
this page you find a row of buttons that are arranged according to the keys on a MIDI
keyboard.
• By clicking these buttons during playback, you can apply effects to your overall
performance.
An effect is applied as long as you keep the button activated.
Most of the available effects correspond to the effects that you can apply to single
slices, with the green buttons corresponding to the stutter and slur effects and the red
buttons to the Mute, Reverse, Staccato effects, etc. (see
“Applying Slice Selection
Modifiers and Slice Effects” on page 167).
Ö Effects triggered with the Performance Controls buttons override the slice effects.
Option Description
Adapt Mode With Adapt Mode, you can adapt the sound of the selected
slice to the sound of the master slice. The available options
are:
Volume – changes the overall volume of the selected slice.
Envelope – modifies volume changes within the slice.
Spectrum – modifies the spectrum of the slice (equalization).
Env + Spectrum – this is a combination of the Envelope and
Spectrum modes.
Adapt Amount Move this slider to the right to increase the adaptation
specified with the Adapt Mode parameter.
Slice Quantize Move this slider to the right to apply quantizing to the slices,
that is, the slices are aligned to an eighth-note grid. When
the slider is all the way to the left, the slices follow the
rhythmic pattern defined by the original master loop.
Slice Timestretch Use this option to apply realtime timestretching to the slices,
filling gaps or avoiding overlaps between slices that are not
played back at their original tempo, or when combining slices
with different original tempos. Applying timestretch increases
the CPU load and may affect the sound quality. Reduce the
need for timestretching by using loops with similar original
tempos. See also the description of the track transposition
value (see
“Setting Track Transposition Value and Track
Volume” on page 165).
Staccato Amount When you move this slider to the right, the length of the
slices is gradually reduced, giving the output a staccato feel.
Dry/Wet Mix This sets the balance between the volumes of the master
loop and the selected slices from the other tracks.
