Re[2]: [emax] Infinite sustain.

Using crossfade loop (Digital processing 8) can also help to smooth out the loop join. I have used 
this successfully on complex sounds for which I could not otherwise find a good loop point.

you need to either loop on zero crossings at zero there is no volume level so that when set to zero 
crossings there is no blipping the other methed is to find to max volume settings an loop them if you

look at the loop over a period of time you should see a continuation of the waveform 

or you can use a third method as used in the la synths or sq80 or m1 where you sample a plossive 
or attack portion of a sound then use single cycle waveforms for the sustained side of the sound as 
single cycle wave forms are just 1 loop of a waveform they act like normal oscilators repeat 
constanly at the same pitch

that way you get no clicks or pops

to add chouros to the sound use to voices and slightly detune 1 to the other then you will get the 
pumping sound that you get on analog synths due to there oscilator drift

Hi Guys,

I've been a lurker on here for quite a while; I've owned an Emax II for a
few years now; but, due to moving country shortly after buying it, I didn't
have access to it.

Now that's I've managed to ship it over to my new home, I've started to use
it again and I'm loving it.

I need some advice though. I've been trying to use the loop function to
create and infinte sustain on a sample and no matter how many hours I spent
adjusting the loop start and end points I still get a bad loop. Each time
the loops starts it pops, I thought that this was because the section of the
waveform wasn't looped correctly; but, as I've said I have adjusted it many
times to try to find the perfect loop point.

Anyone have any advice on this?

Cheers
Toby
