Drum editor

[jsd540]

whenever I take a beat from a record I have I use recycle create a rex and load it to battery, then all I have to do is drop eighth notes in the drum sequencer and for the most part it all sounds like the original file.

I have a loop loaded right now that needs to be tweeked up to 128 ths so I can nudge 2 or 3 of the notes just a hair and that should do it , hoever I haven't been able o get the drum matrix up that high. What am I doing wrong ???

I know If I work with the audio file and groove quantize I can get closer but then I cant trigger it the way I feel most comfortable.

Is there a way to nudge the notes in drum sequence to a 128th ?

As far as I know, the smallest increment you can work with in the Drum Editor is a 64th note. That being said, can you hear the difference when shifting a note by 1/128th, or is it necessary to do so for another reason? I'm not sure I understood what you were doing.

I'm not in front of my music computer right now, but there might be a setting in the Quantize Region command that allows you to specify an increment smaller than 1/64th. This, by the way, is a handy tool for snapping a note to the grid. You can select mulitple notes and have them all shift by the same degree.

I just need to shift 1 or 2 of the slices a bit and 32nd is still too coarse, just a bit of tweeking 64ths might do it, but iit is noticeable on those 2 or 3 slices... Groove quantize mmmm ?

Sorry. I should have said the smallest increment in the Drum Editor is 1/64th (I hope) and I've edited my original reply.

yep 64ths

still not there... will the sequence editor permit 128, or allow me to nudge in very small increments. those 3 notes are killing me

When you click on the note, look at the event information, particularly the time, at the top of Drum Editor window. Can you move the note one 64th, and then edit the time by a few ticks manually? Or, just edit the time manually in the first place.

What if you use the scale time function to double the length of your loop, then nudge the notes by a 64th, then scale time back to the original length? Wouldn't the end result of the edit be a 128th?

That sounds like a work around... will try it tomorrow...
