Reference [Track Editing]

ZOOM MRS-1608

•Tempo (BPM)

Sets the tempo (beats per minute) after time stretch/

compress, using the tempo set in the rhythm song as

reference. In the default condition, the current tempo of

the rhythm section is shown.

Use the cursor left/right keys to select the

unit for making the time stretch/compress

setting.

The selected unit ﬂashes.

Turn the dial to make the time stretch/

compress setting.

When you change one item, the other item also changes

accordingly.

The setting range of 50% – 150% for the stretch/

compress ratio cannot be exceeded.

Press the PLAY [

] key.

The stretched/compressed track is played from the

beginning of the V-take.

If you continue playback to the end of the V-take, all

audio data of that track/V-take are stretched or

compressed.

HINT

It is also possible to change the stretch/compress ratio

during playback.

At the point where you want the time

stretch/compress function to end, press

the STOP [P

] key.

The indication “TimStrch SURE?” appears on the

display.

To execute the time stretch/compress

operation, press the [ENTER] key.

When the time stretch/compress operation is completed,

the unit returns to the track edit menu.

By pressing the [EXIT] key instead of the [ENTER] key,

you can cancel the operation and back up one step at a

time.

HINT

To apply time stretch/compress only to a part of the song

such as a drum pattern or guitar riff, use the copy function

and trimming function to create a V-take of the desired length

ﬁrst.

Compensating the pitch of a

speciﬁed range

This editing command lets you specify a KEY and

SCALE and align all audio data in a speciﬁed range to the

nearest note in that scale (PitchFix). Instead of the scale,

it is also possible to use a phrase from a bass sequence as

reference for pitch compensation.

HINT

The edited audio data after pitch compensation will overwrite

the existing data.

NOTE

For pitch shift to operate correctly, the audio data should

represent single notes recorded without applying delay,

reverb, chorus, or other effects.

Refer to steps 1 – 6 of “Basic steps for

range editing” to select the track/V-take for

pitch compensation, and press the

[ENTER] key.

The indication “PitchFix KEY” appears on the display. In

this condition, you can select the key for the scale to be

used for pitch compensation.

HINT

You can only select a single mono track or one track of a

stereo pair as source track for PitchFix.

Turn the dial to select the key.

The selection range for the key is C – B (in semitone

steps) and “BassSeq”.

When you select “BassSeq”, the pitch of the audio track

will be detected and transposed to the nearest note

speciﬁed by the bass sequence or by actually hitting a

pad. The upper limit for pitch detection is two octaves

above center A.

For example, if you use an audio track recorded with long

tones and apply PitchFix using a bass sequence with a

short rhythm, you will get an interesting effect with

strong modulation.
