EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual Section 6 — Wave Parameters
The ensemble is essentially a cross fade loop with the fade zone set to 100%. If
you use the default values, the EPS-16 PLUS may tell you DEFAULTS
CANNOT BE SET. Then it will advise, INCREMENT LOOP START or,
DECREMENT LOOP END (EDIT/Wave page). This is because the data
preceding the loop is shorter than the loop itself. For the ensemble cross fade to
work, the fade zone must be 100% of the loop length. You can either make
sample start smaller so that you add more data preceding the loop, or move the
loop around using loop position on the EDIT/Wave page. The only manual
setting here is SCALE DEPTH which is the same as the cross fade. The fade
zone is not a parameter, because it is always assumed to be 100% of the loop
length.
• Select ENSEMBLE CROSS FADE. Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads USE DEFAULT VALUES? Press Enter•Yes.
• Pressing Cancel•No in response to USE DEFAULT VALUES? displays the
manual value: SCALE DEPTH=## DB. Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads KEEP=OLD NEW. Press Enter•Yes to complete the
command (or Cancel•No to keep the original).
This parameter is used to equalize the data around the loop points so the transition
in to and out of the loop splice point is very smooth. The bowtie cross fade
works well on sounds with a lot of ambience, reverb, or other effects. The
bowtie cross fade zone can never be greater than 50%, otherwise you will overlap
data halfway through the loop. The bowtie cross fade is limited by the length of
the post-loop data (the data from loop end to Wavesample end).
If you truncate a sound with Wavesample end equal to loop end, you can not use
the bowtie loop, because it needs some data after loop end to make the loop.
There would not be enough post-loop data to follow the command. If this
happens, the EPS-16 PLUS will advise, DECREMENT LOOPEND. For the
bowtie you need to have the loop away from the ends of the Wavesample. You
can decrement loop position in the same way you had incremented it for the
ensemble cross fade. The default values are the same as the cross fade. The
manual settings are: fade zone, 1% to 50%; scale depth, 3 dB to 6 dB.
• Select BOWTIE CROSS FADE LOOP. Press Enter•Yes.
• The display reads USE DEFAULT VALUES? Press Enter•Yes.
• Pressing Cancel•No to USE DEFAULT VALUES? displays the manual
values: SCALE DEPTH=## DB, FADE ZONE (PERCENT)=##. Press
Enter•Yes.
• The display reads KEEP=OLD NEW. Press Enter•Yes to complete the
command (or Cancel•No to keep the original).
