BlackPanther Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hopefully I'm using the right terminology when I explain the problem: I have these 5kb samples (it's for a contest) and some of them sound like melodic bits of a synth or somethin. The problem is, they play for like half a second. How do I go about stretching the sample so it plays as long as I hold the key? Sorry for bein such a nub, I've been playin with the envelopes and shit but I can't seem to figure it out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
po! Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 it's gonna depend on the actual sample, but the general idea is to paste part of the sample back to back (thus looping a portion of it and extending its length) with a bit of overlap and crossfade the overlapped region. obviously if it contains any kind of attack or release you want to loop the middle sustained portion of the sample Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Don't stretch, loop. It might help us if you're telling what software you use and what kind of project you're doing; any softsampler has the option to loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPanther Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm using the nn-xt from Reason. And actually I figured it out when I just woke up this morning so thank you guys that helped xD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
