good work. the latest fw update can help with making sure your loops are exactly bar/2/3/4 long - since now you can set the exact length of the sampling/resampling (similar to Octatrack) . I wish they've added proper time stretch but with a few hacks that can be sorted out tho. Now, if your beats are not perfectly looping, you can cut the excess audio and be within exact length of the track.
A terrible idea to break from their norm and make the End point 120 instead of 128 with 128 as the end point you have 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 and you get any beats in between by adding or subtracting these numbers together even 6, 12, 18, 24, 36... have meaningful musical use but not if 120 is the max
I started in audacity to trim the breakbeat samples to a perfect loop. I didn't want to pitch all the samples by hand so I wrote myself a little script based on sox (sox.sourceforge.net) that if I remember correctly guessed the initial bpm and number of beats based on the original length and then just re-pitched to the appropriate length. Probably didn't save much time over just doing it manually in audacity though...
Can you play slices of a sample in the chromatic mode with the pads? I mean, I know I can lock parameter on the sequencer, but can I lock them on the pads chromatically? My idea is to sample synth pad chords and being able to PLAY them on the pads or via midi with external keyboard.
Thanks! You can use the amplitude envelope and set the note length accordingly. It will not mute the break immediately though but play the entire note as it was programmed.
What about breakbeat loops at different tempos? Can you have two samples at different pitches on one channel or do you need to use another channel on the Rytm? Thanks for the video!
I recommend to go breakbeat hunting on dogsonacid.com as well as archive.org but pretty much anything works as a source :) I can dig out a list of breaks I have on the rytm if that is helpful
@@HerrShield I feel a bit like a sample archaeologist. I’ve learnt about the history of the Amen and I recognised it in your sampler even when played back at faster/higher speed/pitch. I just didn’t realise there were so many others and you listed them so fast and so casually. I would definitely appreciate a short list of breakbeats, why not! Thx a lot. :)
@@Quodge Yeah it's definitely lots of digging :) Here are the ones I mostly use: amen, apache, cold_sweat, dont_change_your_love, foold_gold, funky_drummer, hot_pants, new_orleans, sesame_street, worm.
