Content List

The Content List provides you the means to add content your mix.

Tips: If you can see content in a Content Cell, tap and hold that cell to call up the Cotent List. To scroll through the list to see all the Presets, tap and drag the list up/down, use the Up / Down or Page Up / Page Down keys, or use a mouse center wheel. See also Navigation.

Tip: To preview content in the Content List, tap the right side of the content item (or use Left or Right keys), and it should play for a few seconds.

• MIDI - black
• Partikl - red

Content List & Options

• [Pak HOME]: Pakname
  • This displays the name of the Pak on which this mix is based
  • Select this item to get back to a list of content from that Pak
• [CLEAR]

• +<OPTIONS>
  • Select to show the options. When <HIDE OPTIONS> shown, select to hide the options.
  • -[BROWSE]
    • Lets you choose different top level folders in which to search for content.
  • <STREAM SKIP ms: 0>
    • This allows you to start playback of a mic recording at a set period of time into the recording.
    • The recording must be set to Stream in the option below.
  • <MIC RECORD PLAYBACK: value>
    • Determines whether a mic recording is played back in a mix as a stream (e.g. for long recordings) or a loop (e.g. for short recordings, or those you want to be able to change pitch/tempo, as below):
      • Loop [default value]:
        • Recording gets loaded into memory when mix is playing
        • Means it can be looped on a bar boundary
        • Suitable only for short recordings, e.g. up to about 4 bars in length
      • Stream:
        • Recording when played in content cell will play once, and will not loop
  • <MIC REC LOOP PITCHED: value>
    • Determines whether or not a mic recording loop can be pitch shifted or time stretched as you change those values for a mix:
      • Yes [default value]
      • No
  • <PARTIKL EDIT: value>
    • For content that MIDI, Noatikl or Partikl based, selecting this option will launch Partikl so you can edit and save it as required.
      • The Partikl Editor required for editing sounds is only in the Mixtikl Desktop version.
      • If the file is from a Pak zip file, you must save changes to a new file, as the file in the Pak cannot be overwritten.
      • Partikl does (yet) allow inline editing of content, which means that when Partikl plays the content it will be at the pitch/root defined in the content (and not that of the mix) and the content will not synch with the mix. However, you can save the content changes and restart the mix, and then you will hear the changes.

• (..)
  • Selecting this allows you to browse for other content under the Mixtikl directory.
  • To browse outside of the application, use the BROWSE option above.
