Decomposing Samples
The Decompose function separates the noise and the tonal components of a sample and allows
you to save these components separately as new samples.
PREREQUISITE
The instrument pads are shown in the pad section.
You have loaded the sample that you want to decompose and opened the Decompose tab.
PROCEDURE
1. Optional: On the Main tab, click Prelisten.
You can now play back the two components separately by using the corresponding Solo
buttons.
2. Click Apply to decompose the sample.
RESULT
Two new samples are created. They are saved with the extensions “_noise” and “_tonal”,
respectively.
NOTE
If a sample with the same name already exists at the save location, for example, because you
tried out different Decompose settings, a number is added to the new le name. No sample les
are overwritten by the Decompose function.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
You can now edit the tonal and noise samples separately, combine them differently, etc.

Combining Noise and Tonal Components of Different Samples
Once the tonal and noise components are split, you can use them separately. This allows you to
try out different noise components with a tonal sample, edit the components of a sample
separately before combining them again, etc. You can also create entirely new sounds from your
samples this way.
PREREQUISITE
You used the Decompose function on several samples, so that you have a variety of different
noise and tonal samples to choose from.
PROCEDURE
1. On the Load panel, open the Browse tab.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains the decomposed samples or lter the view to show only
the decomposed samples using the Filter by Sound Component pop-up menu.
You can lter the list to show the tonal component samples, the noise component samples,
or all the component samples, that is, noise and tonal, that were created with the
Decompose function.
