Note Stretching

[kenrocca]

What's up peoplez, I'm trying to figure out how to stretcha sampled sound without it sounding looped. Or in other words, make a specific note in a sample longer. Any ideas? I tried time stretching but no luck, I have a SP 202 and use Adobe Audition, FL 9 and Reason 4. Any ideas? Peace

i was wondering how to do this on the mpc also. i know bout timestretching but i just wanna elongate a single pad

Exactly, I don;t have a MPC, but how to do it on a pad for the SP. HEEELLLP!!!

i would get the note on a pad on the 202, record to audacity while fading it in and out again like this /-\, and make another one identical to it, put on 2 pads on the 202, take your og one and let it hit, then jump to the new two identical ones and hit them one after the other, back and forth so it's crossfaded and not looped, as long as you need the note to be. resample to audacity and back to 202. now you have the elongated sound of the note on yo sampler. maybe there's a faster way though, but same idea, to make it a perpetual crossfade.

i think you can do the fading in/out more easily w/ the reason sampler, with the adsr on the nn-xt.

Depends on what OS your running on your MPC.

On my MPC1000 (JJos2XL) goto trim, edit, spin the jog wheel until timestretch comes up. Set the bpm of the original sample then @ what bpm you want it to stretch to. I'm not sure if its my OS but I am able to chop and stretch on a single pad.

Sorry no SP help from me.. I've been cheating on it with my 1000 lately.

Thanks for the SP advice, how do I do it easier with the NN-XT?

all you gotta do is load the sample into the nn-xt, narrow it down so you can play it on just one key, then give it a long attack and long release with the ADSR settings. then you can just copy those settings over to the key next to it, so you have two identical samples that fade in at the beginning and fade out by the end. now just hit them like 1,2,1,2,1,2 and if you get the timing right it will sound seamless and not like it's looping. if your og sample hits hard at first and starts to decay, you can have another copy of the sample next to those with no ADSR setting but on a gate, so you can hit that first and let go, then proceed to toggle between your fadey ones till you need to end the sound. haven't used ol' Reezy in a couple years but this is how i used to make ambient drone-type stuff. NNXT is da bomb for sure if you have alot of patience.

Bet, will try tonight, propz

Well, I do it old school. I chop a sample up to different pads, depending on which part of the sample I feel needs to be stretched, and just hit the pad repeatedly until it fulfills the time of the bar.

Thats poor man's strtching.
