Decomposing Samples

The Decompose function separates the noise and the tonal components of a sample and allows you to save these components separately as new samples.

Prerequisite

  • The instrument pads are shown in the pad section.

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

Procedure

  1. Optional: On the Main tab, click Prelisten.

    You can now play back the two components separately by using the corresponding Solo buttons.

  2. Click Apply to decompose the sample.

Result

Two new samples are created. They are saved with the extensions “_noise” and “_tonal”, respectively.

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.

After Completing This Task

You can now edit the tonal and noise samples separately, combine them differently, etc.
