WAVE EDITOR / RECORDER Claw Machine ToolThe Claw Machine works on a tempo-sliced sample removing beats, adding beats and/or shifting beats to create interesting new rhythms. The Claw Machine is particularly effective at speeding up the tempo of a song (by extracting beats) without creating time-stretch/pitch-shift artifacts. The Claw Machine is also a great tool for working on starting scores with regular rhythms, although experimentation will be rewarded.
NOTE: An alternative is to use the Piano roll Claw tool with loops in Slicex. To Open the Claw Machine ToolTo open click on the Claw Tool button or press (Alt+W) inside the Editor, or use the Tools > Time > Claw option. NOTE: The sample must have a tempo (or beatmarkers) set before the Claw Machine option will become available, due to the fact that the Claw Machine slices the audio according to the time-grid and relies on the sample being aligned to the grid in a meaningful way: Aligning the grid to the sample tempoPrior to claw processing make sure the sample has the correct tempo and beats are aligned to the Sample Window grid.
