Project structure

LOOP tracks

These are designed for sampling performances

with drums, guitars and other instruments and

looping them in the scene.

DRUM tracks

Use these to make drum patterns with bass

drums, snares, hi-hats and other drum sounds.

INST tracks

Use these to play phrases in scales on the

keyboard with samples of single notes from

pianos, guitars and other real instruments.

SHOT tracks

Use these to play one-shot samples, such

as sound e󱐯ects and crash cymbals, once.

Sequence patterns can also be made using one-

shot samples.

MIDI tracks

These are piano-role type sequencer tracks

for creating phrases to use with external MIDI

equipment.

GLOBAL tracks

These are independent audio tracks that can

span multiple scenes. Use these for recording

vocals and other performances that continue

through a song, for example.

We will examine project structure by working with the demo project.

KIT

One project corresponds

to one song.

Scene

Each project has 16 scenes.

Each scene makes a somewhat uni-

ed section, such as an intro, verse

A, verse B, chorus and ending.

Even when the scene changes, the

track type does not change. For ex-

ample, if Track １ is an INST track,

it will always function as an INST

track in every scene.

Clip

A phrase on a specic track in a

specic scene is called a clip.

The SmplTrek has settings and functions

that work on entire scenes, settings and

functions that work on entire tracks, and

settings and functions that work only on

specic clips.

Load samples from the sample pool to use them in

LOOP, INST and SHOT tracks.

The three GLOBAL tracks can

be used to record over multiple

scenes. Use these for lead and

backing vocals, for example.

Tra ck

Each project can have up to

10 tracks.

Each track corresponds to a

part in the song, for example

guitar, bass or drums.

The ve types of tracks are

LOOP, INST, SHOT, DRUM

and MIDI.

First we will arrange preset patterns in a DRUM track. Then, we will

applying e󱐯ects to a guitar with a LOOP track, and play a sampled

e󱐯ect sound with a SHOT track.
