Master Recorder
This section is used to record the output of the Tassman to a wave or aiff file. The eject button, is
used to choose the name and location of the destination file and it should always be used before
starting a recording. The record and stop buttons are used to start or stop the recording. By using
the Master Recorder Trig in a Tassman patch and setting the selector on the gate or trig position,
you can also automate the start and stop of the recording in order to create loops precisely. For
more detailed information on cutting loops, please refer to Section 6.41.
4.9 Performances
A Performance consists in a specific Synth/Preset combination, a given setting of the different
effects of the output stage and a MIDI map. Performances enable the grouping of presets from
different synths in the same folder and therefore to rapidly and efficiently switch between different
sounds.
• To save a performance, choose the Save Performance or Save Performance As command
from the File menu.
• The current synth/preset combination, the settings of the output stage and the current MIDI
maps will be saved under the Performances folder of the browser.
• To load a performance, simply double-click on the corresponding performance icon in the
browser, use the Load Performance command from the File menu or use program changes
as explained in Section 4.5.
Note that you can select a default performance that will be loaded when you first start the
Tassman.
• To set a performance as default, right-click/Control-click on the performance icon in the
browser and select the Set Performance As Default command.
