About tempo changes and the last Segment(s)

Sometimes you may import a ReCycle ﬁle into an Arrangement with a faster tempo

than that of the original loop. In this case the slices (Segments) will overlap, and

the last segment will continue past the end of the Part.

An audio event in Cubase should never play past the end of the Part otherwise you

will hear audio in the Arrangement that you can't actually "see". To get around this

problem, Cubase VST automatically shortens segments that would otherwise play

past the end of the Part, so that they end exactly where the Part ends. This is done

automatically when you import the ReCycle ﬁle.

In fact, if you have used a very high stretch factor in ReCycle, or if the Cubase

tempo is drastically different from the original loop tempo, several of the last seg-

ments could be affected by this problem and will be shortened. If you later raise the

tempo, the shortened segments will then become too short, since they no longer

play to the end of the Part. There are two ways to ﬁx this:

• Manually adjust the length of the offending segments, in the Audio Editor.

• Delete the existing Part and re-import the ReCycle ﬁle, by dragging the

ﬁle

symbol from the Pool to the Arrange window.

In the new Part that appears the length of the last segment(s) will be adjusted

to ﬁt the

current

tempo.

Importing into “Any” Tracks - Polyphonic playback

While a sampler or sampling synthesizer is polyphonic, each track in Cubase VST is

monophonic, that is, it can only play back one sound at a time. This is not ideal when

playing many short overlapping sounds, which is what happens with ReCycled ﬁles.

Drum loops should not normally be affected, however with other types of material,

bass loops etc, the monophonic character of a Cubase VST channel might lead to

clicks in the transition between segments. To avoid this, Cubase can “simulate” the

polyphonic behaviour of a sampler by splitting up a ReCycle ﬁle, so that the

“slices” play back on more than one channel.

Proceed as follows:

1. Examine your Arrangement and locate two or more consecutive channels

that you can reserve for a ReCycle ﬁle.

The number of tracks you need for Polyphonic operation depends on the na-

ture of the loop. The trick is to avoid overlapping segments, since it is in the

overlap that clicks might occur. If you have no idea how many to choose,

don’t worry, the program will suggest a number for you, see below.

● Please note that you can minimize the number of Tracks needed by using as

small a stretch factor as possible in ReCycle, and avoiding very short seg-

ments.

2. Create or select a Track and set it to Channel “Any”.

3. Set the Left Locator to the position at which you want the Part to appear.
