Decompose
If you are working with Beat Agent kits, you can use the Decompose function to split your samples into their noise and tonal components.
Changing the Distribution of the Tonal and the Noise Components of Samples
The Decompose function allows you to mix the noise and the tonal components of samples differently. This can be used to reduce the sound of the drum stick hitting the drum head, for example.

Changing the Distribution of the Tonal and the Noise Components of Samples

The Decompose function allows you to mix the noise and the tonal components of samples differently. This can be used to reduce the sound of the drum stick hitting the drum head, for example.

Prerequisite

You have loaded the sample that you want to decompose and opened the Decompose tab.

Procedure

Click Prelisten.
Modify the mix by adjusting the Level dial of the Noise or the Tonal component.
When you are satisfied with the mix, activate Mix and click Apply.

Result

The two components are mixed and the modified sample is saved with the extension “_mix”.

Note

If a sample with the same name already exists at the save location, for example, because you tried out different Decompose settings, a number is added to the new file name. No sample files are overwritten by the Decompose function.
