1074 Cyclone
Using Cyclone
Pad Editor
The Pad Editor displays up to 16 “tracks,” one for each pad in Cyclone.
Each track has the same number as the pad it represents. Each track is
made up of events. An event represents a slice of a ACIDized loop, or in the
case of standard wave files, it represents the entire file. Each track in the
Pad Editor can be made up of slices from any number of different files.
Each track in the Pad Editor terminates with a Track Handle. A Track
Handle marks the point at which the track loops back to the beginning. You
can move Track Handles using the mouse to any point in the Pad Editor,
shortening or lengthening the length of the track.
Slice Inspector
The Slice Inspector has pitch, gain and pan offset controls. You can change
the pitch of the slices in a loop to change the melody of the loop. If you want
to edit multiple slices at the same time, select multiple slices by Shift-
selecting them and adjust the controls you want.
Using Cyclone
Cyclone is a multi-output synth, and you launch it the same way you launch
other synth’s: by inserting it into a SONAR project. There are two basic
ways to insert synths in SONAR:
• You can insert synths from the Synth Rack view or with the Insert-Soft
Synths command. If you use this method, you can choose to have
SONAR create the necessary audio and MIDI tracks, and patch them
together correctly. If you want to use multiple audio tracks to take
advantage of SONAR’s multi-output support, you need to create and
patch additional MIDI tracks manually to feed the additional audio
tracks.
