Recording the Loop Phrase

Now we’ll record the sample to the CL4 track of the sequencer.

The CL4 track is a loop 32 quarter-notes long (eight measures), and will play the sample starting at the first beat of measure 3 and extending for four beats.

CL4 sample

Record this phrase using the same method you used to record on the other CL tracks. Start the sequencer in REC mode, press the CL4 pad when the location indicator reaches 003:1, hold it for four beats, and release it just before the indicator reaches 004:1.

2.3.7 Setting Up The FREE Tracks

Recording onto the FREE tracks of the sequencer will be discussed later. First let’s record samples onto FREE tracks 1–4.

Since the FREE tracks do not loop, we do not need to specify the loop length as we did for the LOOP tracks and COMPOSED LOOP tracks.

Sampling

For the FREE tracks 1–4, we will provide different samples for track banks 1 and 2, and use these two samples in different blocks of the song.

For track bank 1 of FREE tracks 1–4, sample the following sources from the included audio CD.

FREE 1 track: Track 85 (*Free 1a)

FREE 2 track: Track 86 (*Free 2a)

FREE 3 track: Track 87 (*Free 3a)

FREE 4 track: Track 88 (*Free 4a)

For track bank 2 of FREE tracks 1–4, sample the following sources from the included audio CD.

FREE 1 track: Track 89 (*Free 1b)

FREE 2 track: Track 90 (*Free 2b)

FREE 3 track: Track 91 (*Free 3b)

FREE 4 track: Track 92 (*Free 4b)
