Next step: Editing Loops in the Loop Editor
Editing Loops in the Loop Editor
Each beat of a loop, as it appears in the Loop view or the Pad Editor can be
replaced with a beat from another loop.
To Replace Slices
1. Click the Load Files button in pad 5 and select MARACAS.WAV from the
Tutorials folder.
2. In the Cyclone toolbar, click the Auto Preview button.
3. Select the maracas loop in the Loop Bin.
The maracas loop appears in the Loop view.
4. Click the first slice of the maracas loop in the Loop view. We are going
to use this slice as a substitute for some of the slices in pad 1.
5. Click and drag the first slice of the maracas loop into the Pad Editor
over the slices in the pad 1.
6. Drop the loop on the third slice, a cymbal hit that’s located half-way
through beat 1 of the 100
BEAT2.WAV loop.
7. Listen to the other slices in pad 1, and substitute the slice of the
maracas loop for parts of the 100
BEAT2.WAV LOOP.
8. Click Play in Cyclone to hear the changes.
There is much more to the Cyclone DXi. For more information, see Using
