THE MIX PAGE

FROM HERE YOU CAN MIX AND MATCH THE INDIVIDUAL LOOPS (PARTS).

YOU HAVE FOUR DISPLAYS THAT SHOW THE CURRENTLY (LOADED) LOOP.
FROM THERE YOU CAN SELECT DIFFERENT LOOPS OR LET ACOUSTIC ISOLATION CHOOSE NEW ONES BY CLICKING ON THE "R" BUTTONS (RANDOMIZE).

NOTE: WHEN YOU PRESS SHIFT AND ALT/OPTION ON THE FIRST RANDOMIZE BUTTON ON THE MIX PAGE (BASS SECTION), THEN THAT WILL ALSO ALTER THE SEQUENCER STATE RANDOMLY (ON OR OFF) AND CHOOSE A RANDOM SEQUENCER PRESET FOR ALL FOUR PARTS.

FOR ALMOST ALL CONTROLS YOU CAN PRESS ALT/OPTION AND ADJUST THE VALUE FOR ALL PARTS AT ONCE. (IT´S ALWAYS STATED IN KONTAKT’S INFORMATION WINDOW).
CONTROL/COMMAND WILL RESET VALUES. SHIFT IS FOR FINE-TUNING.

THE SPACE KNOBS SET THE AMOUNT OF CONVOLUTION REVERB FOR THE SELECTED PART.
(THE "SPACE" TOGGLE BUTTON MUST BE ENABLED IN THE FX PAGE).

THE FX BUTTONS CAN BE USED TO ENABLE OR DISABLE FX SECTIONS FOR THE PARTS.
THE SEQ BUTTONS WILL ENABLE/DISABLE THE PER-PART SEQUENCER.

THE FX PAGE

ACOUSTIC ISOLATION COMES WITH A COMPREHENSIVE ONBOARD FX SECTION. BESIDES THE BASIC BREAD-AND-BUTTER EFFECTS LIKE AUTO-PAN, FLANGER AND DELAY, YOU ALSO GOT SOME MORE INTERESTING EFFECTS:

THE STEP FILTER IS A TEMPO-SYNCED BANDPASS FILTER THAT RANDOMLY CHANGES IT’S CUTOFF. THE AMOUNT CONTROLS THE STRENGTH OF THE CUTOFF SWEEPS. THE STEP GATE IS A CLASSICAL VOLUME "TRANCEGATE". IN THE MIDDLE ARE ON/OFF TOGGLE BUTTONS FOR THE VARIOUS EFFECT SECTIONS. TO THE RIGHT IS A PRESET MENU WITH 32 PRESETS AND A RANDOMIZE BUTTON THAT CHOOSES ONE RANDOMLY.

THE SPACE REVERB COMES WITH 60 IMPULSE RESPONSES THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE VIA THE DROPDOWN MENU.

THE SEQ PAGE

PERHAPS THE MOST INTERESTING THING IN ACOUSTIC ISOLATION. EACH PART HAS A 2 X 32 STEP SEQUENCER THAT LET´S YOU NOT ONLY CONTROL THE SAMPLE OFFSET PER PART BUT ALSO THE LOOP OFFSET. SO BASICALLY IT LOADS 32 LOOPS PER PART INTO THE RAM AND THEN YOU CAN OFFSET WHICH ONE TO PLAY. (WHICH DELIVERS REALLY INTERESTING RESULTS IN NO TIME!).

FURTHERMORE, EACH PART HAS 32 PRESETS (TOGETHER WITH THE FAMOUS "R" BUTTON), A RATE CONTROL (1/2 , 1/4, 1/8 , 1/16), START STEP AND END STEP OFFSET KNOBS + A SLICE AND A GATE BUTTON:

- GATE BUTTON: IF THE CURRENT STEP IN THE FIRST (SAMPLE OFFSET) SEQUENCER IS 0 IT WON´T PLAY THE LOOP AT THIS MOMENT. (REQUIRED FOR SOME PRESETS.)

- SLICE BUTTON: LET´S YOU PLAY THE FIRST 24 SLICES ON THE KEYBOARD OF THE SELECTED LOOP CHROMATICALLY. ("AKAI-STYLE").
IT WILL THEN USE THE DEFAULT PITCH, THAT YOU CAN STILL CHANGE USING THE SEMI KNOBS ON THE MIX PAGE

ON TOP OF THAT, YOU CAN EVEN RECORD YOUR OWN PATTERN DATA USING THE PATTERN RECORDING BUTTONS FOR EITHER SAMPLE OFFSET (SO) OR LOOP OFFSET (LO).

THE EDIT PAGE

THE EDIT PAGE LETS YOU SET UP PARAMETERS FOR EACH OF THE FOUR PARTS.

ACOUSTIC ISOLATION FEATURES PER-PART LOOP SPEED CONTROL (HALF, NORMAL AND DOUBLE SPEED).
NOTE: WHEN IMPORTING CUSTOM WAV FILES, THE SPEED CONTROL WON’T BE AVAILABLE NO MORE.

YOU GOT A FILTER MODIFIER WITH CUTOFF AND RESONANCE, AMPLIFIER AND FILTER ENVELOPE CONTROL, MODWHEEL MAPPING (VOLUME, LOWPASS OR HIGHPASS FILTER CUTOFF), PITCHBEND RANGE AS WELL AS A SOLID BUS COMPRESSOR, TAPE-SATURATION, A LOWCUT AND A STEREO WIDTH ADJUSTMENT.
