    Hello,

    I am trying to figure out the performance repetition tool in using the tenor sax staccato performance. There is just one very fast staccato repetition (9 16 130.pal). I have tried this one and it is almost not possible to play without triggering more notes than one. I tried the matrix editor and reduced one of the lines to just one trigger. But this gives the same sample every time (machine gun-effect), and I also find that this note is a bit slow. Obviously that is exactly what I do not want.
    But it is the only staccato I have and I cannot make it slower.


    I must be doing something very wrong, but I don't know what.
    Can somebody help me?

    Greetings,

    Gerard Beljon

    Hi!
    Probably it is NOT a performance repetition file! Instead it is "just" a repetition file... Please verify!
    So it won't be able to trigger its notes... [:'(]

    It's a performance repetition file.
    A performance repetition file does always have the label "PERF-REP" in the gigfile name. (folder name for EXS)
    In this case:
    24 SXT_PERF-REP_stac_16-130

    To perform slower staccato repetition movements than sixteen notes at BPM 130 you have to use the single note staccato samples.
    Performance repetitions can only be used for faster movements than the original recording speed.

    best

    Thank you Herb

    What was the reason then to record such on a high staccato repetition tempo?
    As speeding up is easier for the user than slowing down, why not use a slower tempo always while recording staccato repetition files?
