This will pause playback for the duration of the slope.Īlternatively, use a stepped envelope mapping with these slopes for tuned/harmonic effects.
The Hold envelope is useful for creating horizontal segments. Normal speed playback (+100%) - Horizontal mapping segments play forward at normal speed (see diagram right).The top of the Mapping panel is ' real time' audio, while mappings down from the top of the Mapping panel move backward in time according to the beat scaleĭown the left side. The playback position, direction and speed. The Time envelope is a sample 'offset' envelope, i.e. Time Mapping Envelopes - These envelopes control playback of the audio from the 2-bar, rolling, audio buffer.
NOTE: You can change the slope in semitone units using the Mapping Options menu (select the right-most point defining a slope and apply the 1 semitone up / down function). Reverse, depending on the angle of the line. Slopes steeper than this line will play fast reverse, shallower will be slow
If you need to start a song with a full audioīuffer add two pre-song bars (with audio, of course) and start with a Volume mapping envelope flat-lining line along the bottom of the Mapping Area, so the pre-bars won't be heard. While it's not shown, imagine the Safety Line continues down to the end of the second bar. If the Time mapping envelope goes below the Safety Line before the time-marker reaches that point, silence will be heard (or is that Gross Beat implodes creating an EMP, causing satellites toįall out of the sky? I can't remember, you will just have to experiment). The position of the Playback Locator) has buffered audio while the area below does not. The area above the Safety Line (and behind The Safety Line shows the safe area for mapping envelopes during the first bar of a song.
Angled guide markings - You will notice single darker and multiple lighter angled lines across the mapping area:.The beat is indicated by the Playback locator - a vertical green scrolling line, visible only when the host is playing.the plugin has received at least 2 bars of audio). This means it is possible to step back up to 8 beats (2 bars) from the current playback position, as long as Width vs height - The mapping panel is 4 beats (1 bar) wide and 8 beats (2 bars) high.Open a context menu with options for graphing shapes (as shown in the screen shot, right). Top-left is a drop-down menu (as described below).
