The Key Map view shares the same space in Cyclone as the Loop view. You toggle between the two

views by clicking on one of the tabs to the left of whichever view is displayed. The keyboard in the

Key Map view shows the Unity note (in orange) and the range of notes that trigger the pad group (in

blue). Drag the Unity note to change its value. Drag the white triangles to extend the range of MIDI

note values that trigger the pad group.

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.
