Using Cyclone
Cyclone
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.
• You can insert synths into effects bins of individual audio tracks. If you use this method, you need
to set a MIDI track’s Output field to the name of the synth you inserted. Then you can record MIDI
data in the MIDI track to play the synth with. This method does not allow you to use multiple
outputs.
For step by step instructions, see “Inserting soft synths” on page 778, “Multi-port soft synths” on
page 788, and “Converting your soft synth tracks to audio” on page 789.
