Guest Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 How can you transpose a sound into a arabic format! In the exs 24 or the es2, I want to transpose the tune of 2 of my keys into -50%! Any Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Have you not been able to achieve what you want using the project settings-Tuning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Not exactly, it's really a different kind of tuning! i think it really has to do with the instrument editor inside the exs24! My uncle showed me a long time ago but I forgot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Jon, If you go into the EXS editor, find the samples for which you want to change the pitch. Then look to see what the low and high key are for those samples. If they span just one note then you have a one-sample-per-key (one sample per zone) situation, and that'll make it easy: just alter the tuning of those individual zones. But if some of those samples span more than one note, then you may have a little more work to do. Here's an example: You are playing in a "C" maqam where the first three notes are C, flattened D, and E. Imagine that in this sound there's only one sample (or zone) used for all of those notes. But you only want to detune the D (or maybe the C#) and not the other notes. In this case, first choose whether you want to play a D key or a C# key to get the flattened D pitch. Let's say it's the C#. Here's how you'd go about it... In the zone editor you have to raise the low key of this zone to a D. Now C and C# don't play, but we'll take care of that... Copy the zone and paste it. Set its span for C-->C, just one note. Then paste it again, and set the span for C#-->C#. This last zone is the one you'll detune -50 cents to get the microtonal pitch just for that note. Lather, rinse, repeat for other notes. And remember to save the new instrument from the editor under a new name. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fader8 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 If Jon tunes the EXS24 patch, that doesn't cover his ES2 needs. Wouldn't it just be easier to create a user tuning for the project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I would think that using the Tuning settings would be the easiest way too, but Jon indicated that it wouldn't work for some reason, and then he specified EXS-24 in his second post. So yes, if he wants to get ES2 to play with an alternate tuning, setting an alternate tuning using the Tuning settings will be the only choice he has. (Of note, the Tuning project settings are global in that they will affect all of Logic's software instruments). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nublu Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 This site has some tuning tables that load into Logic. Looks quite extensive. I have them loaded but haven't had the time to play with them yet. http://www.lucytune.com/ Worth checking out, me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
