Weird time-stretch sound when turning on slices

Mugison · 2014-12-18T11:54:16.000Z

hi rikrak, yes I´ve stopped recording. I´ve tried to save it to flex and static, but the same thing happens when turn on Slises it get´s all digital crazy

Just to rule it out… do you have MIDI cables connected? If so, try without them connected. Might be some unwanted MIDI Notes?
Is the sequencer running when the sound happens?
You are sure you’re not re-recording into the sliced buffer?
Some FX anomaly? Switch both FX pages to None on that track.
Does it still happen if you start a New Project and do the bare minimum to recreate it?

I wonder if the OT is changing the loop bpm between modes or somethign like that? A long shot though!

I associate the “weird timestretch sound” with when I use delay and muck about with time & feedback. Could there be some parameter locks associated with this FX?

Are the slice playback rates consistent? I don’t see why they wouldnt be from just changing into slice mode.

In short, I don’t really know… haha

no midi in or out
yes it´s running
3 yes no playback trigs
no fx, off.
tried in a new project

iI made a new project and recorded this on my phone, so you can hear and see (not very well, hemm) what happens. I´m recording my voice into Track 3, then I put a playback trig and it sounds normal, then I slice it up and then you hear what happens. then I Create Linear Locks… then you´ll definitely hear what´s going on.

First thought is that it looks like you are manually starting and stopping the recording at an arbitrary length and the OT is trying to stretch it to match the Project BPM.

Either record a full bar or turn off Timestretch in the Sample Attributes menu.

RLEN is set to 16, same length as the pattern. Recorded using rec tric so it should know the right bpm.

but it definitely sounds like a sample that dont know what bpm it is

You want to check your Sample Attributes from the sample edit interface – set the tempo and the length of the sample to the right values, and this should go away.
Another solution is double tapping “playback” on the track you have the sample on, and setting timestretch to off.

You make 8 slices… Do you have 8 trigs spaced evenly on the page or 16 trigs? It sounds like each slice is retrigging…

Also, this

Do you have timestretch turned on in the playback setup menu?

Mugison · 2014-12-18T13:42:41.000Z

cheers Rikrak and Josker… tried your suggestions… and random stuff on and off, made new projects,… then somehow the problem disappeared. I have no idea what happened. but now I cant recreate it again. Magic?

rikrak · 2014-12-18T13:49:27.000Z

Early days with the OT are a magical time when strange hallucinations and manifestations drift in and out of the ether. Don’t fight it

Does anyone have any update on this issue. i think i have it. and am struggling to figure it out so far

sezare56 · 2021-10-21T07:43:11.665Z

redember:

this issue

What’s the behavior ?
Could you post an audio example ?

Timestretch is on by default. You can set it to off.
(Timestretch doesn’t work with samples or slices shorter than 6143 samples (139 ms)

MichaalHell · 2021-10-21T07:52:34.778Z

Yeah it could be that OT is analysing the BPM to another BPM then that of the pattern and if time stretch is on on the sample track then it could probably result in OPs problem

Sorry I didn’t see that your post was 7years old

MichaalHell · 2021-10-21T07:54:16.632Z

Check in the AED menu under FX1 if the original tempo is the same as the pattern, if not try changing that to the pattern BPM and see if it helps

G0n35y · 2021-10-21T08:15:05.529Z

Actually mad to think how long I’ve been using the OT on and off. Been without an OT for about 18 months now though and nostalgia has a habit of leading to GAS. Must resist!

Thank you. this was def a factor - this also helped to get the machine back to a ‘default state’

@redember this workaround is to assign an empty slot, and it’s a complicated workaround with unecessary things.

Easier to select a sample, clear the slot.
