Syncing a drum loop to the BPM
« on: August 03, 2018, 02:04:11 AM »
Hello,

I load a short drum loop by first doing a global Init then simply choosing 'Sample' for OSC1 and loading the file.  When asked I choose to tune the loop.  I also tried without tuning.  Is there a way to synchronize this loop to the DAW BPM so that it plays at the right BPM on all keys ?

Cheers.

Hello Jonetsu,

Icarus supports such a feature. Go to 'Import Sample'->'Create Patch: Beat Slice drumloop'.

In Electra it is also possible to do beat slicing. But it requires some programming tricks. What happens from the technical side is that the arp's velocity is routed to Start1 to set the sample offset in the mod matrix.
You can find such a ptach in Drumline->'Groove 2 Get Down'.

Have a nice weekend,
Markus

Hello Markus,

I'm afraid I did not see any such option in Icarus.  I do have a screen shot showing the Icarus options under "Import Sample" but the board here seemingly does not allow uploading of images and all upload services I quickly look into requiring creating an account which I don't really like to do. 

The closest option offered is 'Create Patch: Resynthesis + Repeating Loop'

Cheers.

Hello Jonetsu,

first you need to install the latest update to Icarus v1.6. The feature is new.

Then above the big Pitchwheel knob click 'import sample'->'Create Patch: Beat Slice drumloop'.

Have a nice weekend,
