Fading out individual pads/resampling delay

[technicolourbob]

I've got two unrelated questions.

1. Is there a way of fading out an individual pad while leaving the rest at their original volume? I know how to turn down the volume of a pad, but I'm more interested in getting a smooth fade out while playing live.

2. When I resample using an effect that alters the length of the sound (delay, tape echo) it only resamples to the length of the original sample. That means when I've got a nice long delay happening I can't resample the whole feedback of the delay. Any way around this?


Any help would be great!

1. As far as I know you just have to practice your timing with fading a sample out. In the end you'll be more skilled at live timing which really is what a live performance is all about in my mind.

2.There has been a past thread in the 404 section that goes into depth on how to get around this.

I probably wasn't clear enough in my first question.

If I've got two pads playing, how do I fade only one of those out so that the other one keeps playing.


And does anyone know the link to that 404 thread?

While both samples are playing together just press the pad you want to make current and then press the start/end/level button and you can use ctrl knob 3 to change the volume.

You could, but then you need to resample your sample so it has a fade out. To do this, just use the effects while resampling, there are a couple of ways to turn the volume of a sample slowly to zero. One of them being using the subsonic effect, the other being using the isolator effect turning all 3 knobs to zero slowly.

2. When I resample using an effect that alters the length of the sound (delay, tape echo) it only resamples to the length of the original sample. That means when I've got a nice long delay happening I can't resample the whole feedback of the delay. Any way around this?

In such a case manually press the pad to start the sample and let it sample everything. I suppose you'd normally press a pad to activate it for resampling, right? All you have to do to get the delay or tape echo end sampled as well, is by manually starting the resampling and manually pressing the pads (and manually stopping the resampling).

Hope this cleared things up a bit.
