Combining Noise and Tonal Components of Different Samples

Once the tonal and noise components are split, you can use them separately. This allows you to try out different noise components with a tonal sample, edit the components of a sample separately before combining them again, etc. You can also create entirely new sounds from your samples this way.

Prerequisite

You used the Decompose function on several samples, so that you have a variety of different noise and tonal samples to choose from.

Procedure

  1. On the Load panel, open the Browse tab.
  2. Navigate to the folder that contains the decomposed samples or filter the view to show only the decomposed samples using the Filter by Sound Component pop-up menu.

    You can filter the list to show the tonal component samples, the noise component samples, or all the component samples, that is, noise and tonal, that were created with the Decompose function.

  3. Drag the samples on the instrument pads.

    By layering two components from different original samples on one pad, you can play them together.

  4. Play back the pad.
  5. Experiment with different combinations.

After Completing This Task

When you found the combination that you want to use, you can edit the samples further on the Sample tab, for example.
