Falcon question

[DonaldM]

This is a very basic question, but maybe one of you can help. In the sample edit screen, I can not find where you can zoom in on the sample wave form. If I'm trying to create a loop, I want to be able to zoom in to place the start/end points. I can't find where the zoom is. I know its right in front of me, but I can't see it. And the manual doesn't mention it as far as I can tell.



Anyone?

Never mind, I found it! You have to push ALT (CMD on the MAC) while you scroll up to zoom in, scroll down to zoom out. Push Shift and scroll to increase/decrease the size of the wave form.

I was going to suggest use the CTRL wth the mouse but now I know

Maybe you can help me. I’d like to know where or how to find the samples, I’ve only just wanted to use the sampler synths now I have the free ProTools edition

If you're looking to import samples of your own, then then access the Falcon browser menu on the right side and look under "Places". All the drives on your system should show there and you can navigate to whereever you saved your samples.


If you just want to see what samples are used in a factory patch, say, then on the edit screen, you will find the sample editor and mapping screens down near the bottom. You'll only see a sample there is the patch (or a part in a patch) is using a sample as the sound source. You can also see how the samples are mapped across the keyboard. For example, with drum samples, you'll see kick mapped to one note (C1, say) and snare to another - D1 perhaps, hi hat to another - G1 maybe, etc etc.

For pad multisamples, you can see how many samples are used and what their mapped to on the map screen. Click on a specific sample region in the map screen, and you can view that waveform right above the map area.



Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for the advice will try these suggestions finally may I ask if Falcon comes standard with any samples other than those “loaded” in presets

Not that I'm aware of no. The only samples are those included in their presets. However, there are many sources for samples out there. Some are free, some you pay for. Depends on what you want. Also, every month Computer Music Magazine includes many samples of all types on the included DVD that comes with the magazine. Sometimes there are some really nice multisamples there that can be turned into decent patches, with a little tweaking and editing.
