• follow the instructions in
the next section.
Assigning Your Sample to an Audio Phrase
Audio phrases are longer samples—typically drum loops or instrument riffs—that will
automatically match the tempo of your song without changing pitch.
Follow the instructions in the “Importing Audio From a CD” section.
1
From the RESULTS window, press F3 (Quick Assign).2
Press F3 (AsgnToAPhrs)—the AUDIO PHRASE QUICK ASSIGN window opens.3
Play VELOCITY PAD 1 and press F5 (Execute).4
Press AUDIO PHRASES.5
Press F5 (Edit) to open the AUDIO PHRASE EDIT window.6
Adjust the Start Point so the sample starts perfectly on the beat.7
Adjust the End Point8 so the sample ends perfectly on the beat.
Play VELOCITY PAD 1 and count the total number of beats in the sample. Enter this
9
data in the BPM Base Note field. For example, if the sample is exactly two measures
long and each measure has four beats, select q x 8, which means “four quarter notes
times two measures,” or eight quarter notes.
Tip: If you know the tempo of your sample, note the Audio Phrase BPM display in the upper
right-hand corner. If it shows a similar tempo, you’ve more than likely chosen the correct
BPM Base Note value.
CURSOR to the BPM Sync switch and turn the VALUE dial to switch it on.
