How do you make a sample cut in and out real fast, like when you crossfade or transform scratch ?Is there a plug and play effect you can just run a sample through or what ?

an oscillator set on the filter cut-off frequency (using a square shaped oscillation and using extreme settings) should do the trick

can you set it to beatmatch a tempo?

with the sampler ive got you click a button to sync the oscillator rate and then its matched, and the rate dial should lock to various intervals of the tempo. Then you can automate it to change the rate so as to get the manipulation of the cutting / transforming effect that you want

what sort of sampler have you got and can you try it with that siren at 124bpm ?

sampler is the one that comes as part of Reason 2.5, the NN19 or something, im pretty sure there will be a similar feature on fruity loops

ill not be home til much much later, but when i do get home ill give it a crack and show you what i mean

Primo . My mates work logic and reason but I like the fun factor of fruity. You just throw a whole bunch of samples in there and mash them together til they fit. It's such a cool name too

you could also set a peak controller to the volume of the sampler


usually ill put a loud short drum hit fed into the peak controller
to get that type of effect
or say the osc3 if u want to change the time the volume is open and closed


I believe there is a demo of the peak controller that comes with fruity

Easy:

either program the "Volume" (MIDI messages) or load the sample into the sampler, assign a LFO (synced to tempo) to volume with a square wave.

if you're able to use vst fx i would recommend CamelSpace... really amazing fx for cutting and freakin'

Easy for you to say but I'm more of a visual learning kind of guy so have no idea what you just said.

Sorry, mate.

Well, it´s a long time ago I used Fruity Loops (cool program, by the way. A pity it´s not made for Mac), but if it´s possible to assing an LFO to volume, this should do the trick. I am familiar with the sampler in Fruity Loops. Any screen shots available?

Dont even know how to take screen shots bro. Not really up on the technology thing. I'll see if I can blunder my way into it using your advice though. Cheers.

you can assign an lfo to volume (or cutoff or q or whatever) and then just adjust the speed and depth etc until it sounds good

in the sampler window of fruity, choose the envelope-window and it should be there under the adsr-section

and you can sync it to the beat as well. right click the speed-knob and there you can choose like 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 etc etc steps.

Cheers rjv, I think I got it and I put the pan o matic thing on it too so it does some weird shit from left to right as well. Will post up the affected siren soon.
