Importing and Removing Loops

You can import up to eight audio loops onto the eight tracks in the track display.

PROCEDURE

1. Locate the audio loop that you want to import in one of the following locations:

MediaBay and the MediaBay related browsers (for example, the Mini Browser), Project

window, Pool, Sample Editor (regions), Audio Part Editor, or the Explorer/Finder.

The quickest way to find the LoopMash content is to use the MediaBay: Navigate to the

LoopMash content via the VST Sound node.

2. Drag the loop file onto a track in LoopMash.

Dragging a loop to a track already occupied replaces the original loop.

RESULT

LoopMash separates the loop into slices, analyzes them, and displays them as a waveform

on the track. One track can hold up to 32 slices. If a long loop contains more than 32 slices,

LoopMash imports only the first 32. Ideally, you would use a loop file cut at bar boundaries.

If you import your file from the MediaBay, LoopMash uses the tempo information supplied by

the MediaBay for the slicing of the loop.

NOTE

To remove a loop from a LoopMash track, right-click the track and select Clear track.

Defining the Master Loop

One track is always selected. This is the master track: it provides the rhythmic pattern that

you hear. The sounds of this loop are replaced by slices selected from the other loops in the

current LoopMash configuration.

PROCEDURE

• To make a track the master track, activate the button to the left of it, next to the track

display.

Auditioning Slices

PROCEDURE

1. Click on the slice that you want to hear.

2. Use the Step function in the transport controls to step through the slices.
