Setting Track Transposition Value and Track Volume
The track controls to the right of each track allow you to set a track transposition value and the
track volume for each track individually.
PROCEDURE
1. To set a track transposition value, click the button to the right of the track and select a
transposition interval from the pop-up menu.
The set value is displayed on the button.
NOTE
This function is tied to the setting for the Slice Timestretch parameter. If Slice
Timestretch is deactivated, transposition is created by increasing/decreasing the playback
speed of the slices (transposing a track up by one octave corresponds to playing the slices
twice as fast). With Slice Timestretch on, you get true pitch shifting, that is, there is no
change in playback speed.
2. You can change the relative volumes of your tracks with the volume controls on the far
right of each track.
This is useful for level adjustments between tracks. A VU meter to the left of the volume
control provides visual feedback of the current volume.

Setting the Similarity
With the similarity gain slider (to the left of each track), you determine how important a particular
track is for the mashing up of the master loop. By moving the slider, you specify that a track is
more/less similar to the master track, thus overruling the result of the LoopMash analysis. As a
result, more/less slices from this track are included in the current mash.
PROCEDURE
1. Move the slider to the right to select more slices from the corresponding track for
playback, and to the left to reduce the number of slices for playback.
The vertical lines on the similarity gain slider correspond to the slices in this loop. The
changing pattern of slices indicates similarity of each slice, on all tracks, to the current
master track slice. The further to the right a line is, the greater the similarity of this slice to
the master slice.
2. Drag the similarity threshold control (the thin line with handles at the top and bottom
intersecting all similarity gain sliders) to the left or right to determine a minimum similarity
that slices must match to be considered for playback.
Slices with a similarity below this threshold are not played.
NOTE
On the Slice Selection page at the bottom of the LoopMash panel, you can make further
settings for influencing which slices are played.
