Using the Anchor in the sample editor with EXS

Using the Anchor in the sample editor with EXS

2001-02-08 by Murray McDowall

As it works currently, the anchor in the sample editor has no function in
the EXS -- with the EXS24 your only option with samples is to "time align"
them with the sample start point. 

It would be useful to have the option to time align samples with respect to
any point using the anchor -- this would be particularly handy with
reversed samples or samples with slow attacks. One consequence of this
would be that performance with such samples from the keyboard would differ
playback a recording of the same performance as a sequence because this
function could only work on playback -- as it currently works with audio
samples laid out on the arrange page.

Regards,
Murray

I agree with you, Murray. I was very surprised and disappointed to discover
that the function was useless. I had spent time preparing many samples with
anchored trigger points, only to find out that my rhythms sounded very
"off". So I trimmed down several samples and retrained my brain for the
unfortunate fact that I could not use them as I has originally intended. Too
bad. Hope Logic gets around to making this a useable function. Glad you
raised the issue.

Me too, me too. Additionally, I want a global on/off for "one-shot" (which
is Emagic's way of saying "sample play-through")...

Yes I used to do the same with latin percussion samples and lay them out on
the arrange page and I liked the feel of the resulting rhythms -- I was
surprised this was missing too. The lack of a key command for set selection
as loop is my main annoyance at the moment but the EXS24 has been so useful
even in its first release version that we can surely forgive a few
limitations. Looking forward to 4.7 so I can manage my instruments better.

Murray
