A.5 PICKUP MACHINE
Pickup machines are specialized for recording loops. A Pickup machine is hard-linked to both the track
recorder and the recorder buer of the track it is assigned to. The function of the [REC1/2] keys change
for tracks to which Pickup machines are assigned. Pickup machine parameters can not be locked. For more
info how to work with Pickup machines, see “17.1.4 PICKUP MACHINE SAMPLING” on page 105.
PICKUP MAIN
PITCH adjusts the pitch of the sample. The max set-
ting pitches the sample up an octave, a min setting
pitches the sample down an octave. Integer chang-
es are equivalent to semitones. For overdubbing and
replacing to be possible, this parameter must be set
to 0.
DIR controls playback direction of the sample. It can
be played from start to end, in a ping-pong fashion
or backwards.
LEN selects the length of the slave loop in relation
to the master loop. It is only used when recording
a new slave loop. For a master loop, the loop first
recorded, this parameter fill no function.
GAIN can attenuate or boost the volume of record-
ings or overdubs, making gradual fade outs possible.
The value is expressed in dB.
OP controls the recording behavior. If GAIN is
selected, the Pickup machine will not be able to
record any material. Only volume changes, dictated
by the GAIN parameter, to an already recorded loop
will be possible to perform. If DUB is selected, it will
be possible to make overdubs on top of the original
loop. The volume of the overdub is controlled by the
GAIN parameter.
PICKUP SETUP
TSTR sets the master timestretch setting of the
track. When set to AUTO the individual timestretch
settings made in the audio editor will apply. It is not
possible turn o timestretch for Pickup machines.
TSNS adjusts the transient detection when the
timestretch algorithm is set to BEAT. The higher the
setting, the more transient sensitive the algorithm
will be.
