Beatmaker 2: sync imported loops?

So far this app's drum pad feature seems to be just what I was looking for to do live midi triggering of samples and loops. But one thing I've not yet found through tutorials - does it have the ability to sync imported loops (just like Loopy)?

  • "just like Loopy" ? Do you mean Live-Audio looping? or going into the drum pad editor and using the Chop lab on a pre-existing recording? one you just recorded into an audio track? I don't understand the Q.

  • If you mean does it time stretch and automatically tempo sync? Then no. You have to go into the chop Lab and manually timestretch.

    Yes, that's what I meant, thanks. Most of my use live will be triggering one-shot samples, but if it also functioned as Loopy (even just in terms of syncing) that would've been great for some things. No big deal - I can just use Loopy and my Blueboard. Hardware-wise I had been looking at a Roland SPD-SX to do both things, but thought hey if I can use my old Octapad and a sample-playing app then I'd save $900. If I have to use two apps to do do things it's still worth saving that cash. ;)

  • I believe Electrify NXT does sync loops to tempo via semi-realtime timestretch. There are other apps that sync loops to tempo but with pitchshift instead of timestretch, like Sector.
