Question about integrated sampling on the Motif ES. I sampled a few guitar strums to patch into the sequencer in pattern mode. When I later changed the tempo of this pattern, the sample phrases fell out of timing with the beat and the rest of my normal phrases. Is this normal? I am still figuring out my workflow to add short looping samples to my mixes (particularly guitar strums, finger snaps, etc...). I am thinking that these kind of samples, usually between 1-4 measures, once inserted into my pattern act just like audio, I can't stretch or compress. If I want flexibility to change my tempo later, that's probably a whole different kind of sampling maybe slice + seq vs sample + note. CORRECT??
Is this normal?
Yes.
CORRECT??
Yes, you are correct.
In order to time stretch an audio clip you do so by executing Slice+Seq. Which when executed successfully will let you adjust tempo without adverse results. It breaks your audio clip into time slices which act like a series of still photos that when flipped recreate Motion. Like a cartoon is a series of drawings that when flipped rapidly for the eye can create motion of the characters, your time slices can be adjusted in tempo without the normal change in pitch.
Got it THANKS !!!
