Hi, I'm trying to move some stuff around on my ESX1 and i need to resample some drum hits and other sounds, im wondering, when I resample, does it record the tube distortion? Does it modify the existing sound, i mean does it lose quality?

Also, when i slice samples, and press individual sounds, i hear some delay going, like the samples are repeating or something, some samples seem to Bug out and play eternally, any idea why?

No, it does not resample the actual analog outputs, it happens entirely in the digital domain.


Not sure about the other problem, I don't really use slices.

i used to use slice samples like Sauce had suggested, did allow you to save hundreds of samples on the tribe with space to spare.

Slices can warp the audio, a few variables can be when two samples are close so the tail of one sample is slapped on the front of another, or depending on how many slices you tell it to read for.

What im saying is, you could potentially change the sound while slicing, if you are looking to use the samples from your slice samples check out this tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGctUPri1ew

You probably have your sample set to- 'loop' - manual p 23- which is why it keeps repeating. It should only play as a one shot on the drum parts- as opposed to the keyboard parts- this will tell you if that is the problem.

[sauce]

The slice function loops a tiny bit of the end of the slice if the unit detects any audio there, to avoid abrupt cutoffs. In other words, if the audio has a clean fade there will be no loop, but if there is any audio at the slice point there will be looping. It's a silly feature but one that breeds cool results sometimes and also can be tamed with the EG.

remember that resampling adds a tiny bit of silence in the beginning.
Always when resampling beats, I have to truncate 1120 samples from the start to make the beats snap into the same position.
Not a problem when you keep it mind.
But if you've ever wondered why your transients of your mix sound different after resampling a beat..thats would be the reason

Yeah, I wrote that it's a silly feature, but it is actually there so sliced beats will sound fluid when played at different tempos and pitch. For instance, if you recorded a drumloop at 80bpm, sliced it, then played it back at 120, it would sound "choppy" if the slices were played back as-is since the slices would be too short to reach the triggering of the next slice. This would be further compounded if it were pitched up a few notes.

Here's another hint.. Have you ever seen my YouTube tutorial about loading full, large drum kits into the ESX and chopping them up to save sample slots? You can do the same thing with synth waves as long as there is no silence between slices. Make sure they are all in the key of C and, if there is no slices, this slice-looping feature will give you solid synth waves.
