User manual M-AUDIO DRUM & BASS RIG

[. . . ] Drum and Bass Rig · User Guide Congratulations on your purchase of the M-Audio Drum and Bass Rig software. This multi-function device includes 4 instruments: · · · · The LC-5 Loop Creator creates tempo-synced rhythms from preloaded audio files. The BL-6 Bassline is a subtractive synth combined with a step sequencer. The RD-7 Real Drum Module features over 100 realistic drum sounds arranged to follow the GM Drum Map standard. [. . . ] In the middle of the LC-5 is a waveform window displaying the slices of the selected loop. In this waveform inspector are three yellow buttons: "Low, " "Mid" and "High. " These allow you to mute or play slices belonging to low, mid or high frequency ranges. Below the waveform display is a "sawtooth" keyboard allowing you to play keys (loops) via mouse and to select which key (loop) you wish to edit. The highest C on the keyboard is a stop key. LC-5 Master Section These controls affect all loops in the LC-5 patch. Punch: Punch is a special compression algorithm, which accentuates attacks and makes the lower dynamic information louder. Loose/Tight: Loose/Tight is a timing/quantization control. The waveform inspector displays timing changes. The 12 o`clock position exhibits no timing change. Turning to the right quantizes while turning to the left accentuates the natural timing of the loops. Latch: with Latch mode enabled, all triggered loops/notes play continuously until the Latch is turned off or the "Stop" key is used. KeyF: allows you to select MIDI keys/loops for editing via MIDI. Loop Edit The six knobs and three menus on the left of the LC-5 are edit parameters for individual loops within a patch. To select which loop or key is to be edited, click on the "sawtooth" keyboard (the selected key will become red) or use a MIDI key with KeyF turned on. Level: adjusts the selected loop's volume. Pan: adjusts the selected loop's stereo panorama. Pitch: adjusts the selected loop's pitch up to plus or minus one octave. Decay: adjusts the decay time/length of the individual slices for the selected loop. Speed: adjusts the selected loop's speed: left is half-time while right is double-time. Filter: adjusts the selected loop's filter cutoff. Turning to the left reduces high frequencies. sweep changes pulse width from square to pulse Triangle . sweep clips the triangle so that it gradually becomes a ramped square, similar to a TB-303 Unison Saw .
