Beats in Clip
The number of beats in the clip.
Original BPM
The tempo at which the clip was recorded.
Follow Project Pitch
The Follow Project Pitch option transposes the loop, if necessary, to the project
pitch which you can set in the Markers toolbar. A loop recorded in the key of C,
used in a project with a default project pitch of A, would be transposed down three
semitones if the Follow Project Pitch checkbox was checked. You can also insert
markers in the Time Ruler which change the project pitch. These markers, called
pitch markers affect only Groove clips with Follow Project Pitch enabled.
Root Note
The Root Note represents the key in which the loop was originally recorded. The
Follow Project Pitch feature uses this information, when checked, to transpose the
loop to match the project’s default project pitch and pitch markers.
Pitch (coarse)
You can set the transposition of a clip, independent from the project pitch, using
the Pitch (Coarse) field. A positive number transposes the clip up by that number
of semitones. A negative number transposes the clip down by that number of
semitones. Remember that, if the Follow Project Pitch option is checked, the clip
follows the project’s pitch. Any transposition changes to the pitch with this option
checked are changes to the project pitch, not the clip pitch.
An example: The project key is C. The clip key is D. If the Follow Project Pitch is
enabled, the clip is transposed down by two semitones. A value entered into the
Pitch (coarse) field adjusts the pitch from C. If you enter “-1” the pitch would be
transposed down by one additional semi tone to B.
Another example: The clip pitch is E. The desired clip pitch is D. If the Follow
Project Pitch option is not enabled, and a value of “-2” is entered in the Pitch
(coarse) field, the clip is transposed down two semitones to D from the original
pitch of E.
Pitch (fine)
The Pitch (fine) field allows you to make tuning adjustments or to transpose the
pitch of a clip up to 50 cents. There are 100 cents in one semi tone. A Pitch (fine)
setting of “1” adjusts the pitch up one hundredth of a semi tone. The Pitch (fine)
option can “fine tune” a slightly out of tune clip so that it is in pitch with the
remaining clips in a project.
