Loop Construction view
Root Note field
The Root Note represents the key in which the loop was recorded. The Follow Project Pitch
feature uses this information, when checked, to transpose the loop to match the project’s key.
Pitch Field (coarse)
You can set the transposition of a clip, independent from the project pitch, using the Pitch (coarse)
field. A positive number transposes the clip up by that number of semitones. A negative number
transposes the clip down by that number of semitones. Remember that, if the Follow Project Pitch
option is checked, the clip follows the project’s pitch, so any transposition changes you make using
this option are changes to the project pitch, not the clip pitch.
An example: The project key is C. The clip key is D. If the Follow Project Pitch option is checked,
the clip is transposed down by two semitones. A value entered into the Pitch (semitone) field
adjusts the pitch from C. If you enter “-1” the pitch would be transposed down by one additional
semitone to B.
Another example: The clip pitch is E. The desired clip pitch is D. If the Follow Project Pitch option
is not checked, and a value of “2” is entered in the Pitch (semitones) field, the clip is transposed
down two semitones to D from the original pitch of E.
Pitch Field (fine)
The Pitch (fine) field allows you to make tuning adjustments or to transpose the pitch of a clip up to
50 cents. There are 100 cents in one semitone. A Pitch (fine) setting of 1 adjusts the pitch up one
hundredth of a semitone. The Pitch (fine) option can “fine tune” a slightly out of tune clip so that it is
in pitch with the remaining clips in a project.
