Thanks!
The basic principle behind this technique should carry over to the PC platform and other DAWs. I'm not sure about Fruity Loops, as I don't know enough about it - but certainly Cubase, Sonar and the other big DAWs should be able to achieve this.
Thanks.
if i wanted to create a pitched instrument using say a synth stab from a vengeance sound pack for example ..
but didn't know the original pitch, could i use the pitch shifter to decide what pitch i want to start from and then go up or down from there ? or will it only go up or down from the samples original pitch ??
and if so, i don't suppose there are tutorials on how to determine the samples pitch ???
thanks in advance
You're correct. If you use the Pitch Shifter it can't determine the pitch so just adds/subtracts the relative pitch in octaves.
You can find the original pitch using something like the Guitar Tuner plugin to give you a rough idea. Then try creating a new software instrument track. Instantiate an EXS24 and use the default sine wave setting (or load in a piano) and play that to help you find the pitch of the sample. (Look in Logic's Transport bar to see which MIDI note pitch you are playing).
Hope this helps

i am trying to get my head round the exs24, mainly to create my own instruments.. but having trouble getting the notes to sustain, i know this is going off topic but finding people who help is hard to come across .. can you point me in the direction of a tutorial for this ?? or the correct terminology for me to run a good enough search in google
many thanks
I see... getting notes to sustain... well, depends how long the original sample is. You can set up loop points for audio samples in EXS24... and/or use the 'One shot' feature to play the length of the sample even once your finger has stopped triggering the note on the keyboard.
I'd recommend the video tutorials here at macProVideo... the one on the EXS24 is here:
http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/logic9102
But then if you're interested in stretching the original audio file and then bringing it in to the EXS24 (in order to sustain the note longer than the original) then you may be interested in time stretching (all covered in the Logic 101) but you can go more in depth with this video tutorial on Flex time:
http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/logic9104
Personally, I'd recommend getting a one month online subscription so you can view ALL the videos (there's more on Logic than anywhere else!) - of course, feel free to ask away here or on the Logic Forums here:
http://www.macprovideo.com/forum/logic/logic-pro-express
Hope that helps :)
Guess i have just learnt a fundamental rule, you can never stop learning lol !! so back to basics ... thanks for your support !
