mr messenger, no disrespect intended, but i thought that's what this site is supposed to be all about? helping each other out?..... the instruction manual sucks balls, you should know that
dae_:
to isolate a certain sound , like a kick , here's what i do:
first hit shift+trim and then scroll to find your sample
then hit the zone button (F3)
use the arrows to the "Zone: 1"
click open window
on number of zones, use the dial to change it from 16 to 1
then click "do it" (F5)
back on the zone screen...
at the top right corner, change the "play:all" to "play:zone"
then use the jog dial to move the start and end points to where the kick is..
hit "play x" to listen
if you are happy with the sound.. hit "edit" it should say 'slice sound' leave it like that
end margin:30; create new program "no"
click "do it"
search for your new sound .. it should be all the way to the right on the trim screen where the file name is
i know this seems like a lot, but it really isn't .. do it a couple times and you'll get used to it and get faster.
*********
making drum loops: there's two ways that i know of, to do them.. i'll just list the most basic way..
** 2 bar drum loop **
after u decide which loop you want to use, clean it up in the trim mode (using the one zone technique, you want good start and end points, nice and clean)
then assign it to a pad shift+program, drum 1, hit a pad, scroll to note.. it'll say sound
ff.. change the off part to the name of ur loop
then hit "main screen"
use sequence one..
hit step (f1)
now the upper right corner should say "001.01.00"
press ur drum pad.. u should hear your drum loop play once
then hit "main screen"
hit "play start"
your drum loop probably wont make sense on the first try.. too fast or too slow..
look for J:120.0 (SEQ)
use the jog dial to change 120.0 down to around 90 (while the loop is playing)
then u have an idea if ur loop is close
adjust up or down accordingly til the loop is smooth (while the loop is playing)
that's it.
** i highly suggest u just make your own drum pattern tho.. just cut up all the sounds: snare, kick, highhat, etc.. (using the technique above for now.. cuz u can actually slice from 1 to 16 segments, but just do the stuff up top for now til u get used to it) ..... and program ur own drums
hope this helps, later.
