Blocs Wave pitch?

KorakiosKorakios
in General App Discussion

Hi,
Recorded a loop to Blocs inside Audiobus but there is no way to change pitch. The pitch icon appears only on the factory samples. Am I missing something?

    IIRC if you import or record a loop in blockwaves you have to manually set the key it is in so it can change its pitch. If you don't it won't pitch shift.

    I'm really hoping for a 'fine tune' dial for future releases but not too hopeful.

    Me too! I was trying out making some loops from 70's vinyl records, no doubt recorded before the days of A=440Hz, and couldn't get them in tune. Was surprised there wasn't a cents tuning option, I'm so used to that in desktop samplers.

    Well now that there's two of us.. let's bring it up every time Blocs Wave is mentioned and hope that it happens!

    I'm working myself with samples I've taken from ethnic instrument performers that have a pitch but are not tuned to any given reference pitch

    In case this is useful to you - today I picked up Egoist (while it's still on sale) as someone mentioned it was good for prepping loops in perfect time in order to be used with Blocs Wave. Turns out that it has fine tune dials in surplus too which makes it an ideal companion for getting difficult material ready for use in Blocs Wave.

    There is actually a way to do this, but it is a bit of a work around. Also, it does depend where you start:

    1) You've recorded something in

    • Navigate to the Find > User screen.
    • Select the gear icon next to the sound/file you want to change pitch
    • Select the key, and then change it
    • Tip: To make the pitch go UP, the Key needs to go down, and vice-versa

    2) You're using a Soundpack loop OR you want the pitch change only to affect your current project
    * Press and hold the pad you want to change pitch (A drop down menu appears)
    * Press Flatten
    * Now follow (1) above

    We will add much easier pitch changing. It's been on our list since Blocs Wave was released.

    Happy New Year all.

    Don’t worry I wasn’t sure about your post but after understanding it, made me laugh badly :wink:
    Maybe @AmpifyxNovation could join us and bring some news...

    So much potential for Blocs Wav to be great, its such a shame when things just stagnate :-(

    Pitch per slice, manual slice positions, option to load fx auv, user folders with file manager integration, mixer, rx2 import, more scenes (6 limit wtf) and so much more.

    I will love to see true answers about why not implement some, any or all of these from @AmpifyxNovation...
