| bpm/N- beats per minute/CANNIBALPLANET considers dancefloor pace to be 130bpm
beat/N- (1)the span between quarter notes// (2)a sample programmed at quarter
note increments, esp. a kick drum
clone/V- to disable a riff's status as part of a loop/when a looped riff is
edited, each riff in the loop will experience the same changes/cloning a riff
removes it from the loop so that it can be tweaked//much of CANNIBALPLANET's
percussion consists of former loops that have been tweaked until each riff is
intricately unique/initial riffs are programmed from scratch/in most cases, loops
are considered part of the programming process, not something for the final
product to display in any way
envelope/N- any span within a track, riff or whole composition selected for the
programming of duplicate parameters or for a specific range of
parameters/envelopes can be programmed with respect to pan, volume, effects,
rhythm, or any other value that can be assigned to 2 or more notes, measures,
riffs, or tracks within a composition
hevvn's gate/N- the nickname for CANNIBALPLANET's exclusive, undisclosed
programming software.
layout/N- (1)the artwork and text included with a recording// (2)/PL- the paper
on which it is printed, esp. as presently or recently duplicated
loop/N/V- (1)/N- 2 or more duplicate riffs in succession// (2)/V- to program a
loop/technically speaking, measures, beats, even notes can be programmed in a
loop, but a loop almost always refers to a series of riffs
monkey/N- a dj/(short for 'monkey with the plastic circles')
note/N- (1)a sample as programmed for a specific duration at a specific pitch//
(2)the pitch of a particular sample/at a given bpm, CANNIBALPLANET programs
notes at any duration between a sixteenth note (a quarter of a beat) and a span
of eight whole notes (eight measures) in one//hevvn's gate also allows for the same note to be repeated very quickly up to 16 times within the span of a 16 note-- resulting in 256th notes at whatever bpm/
pan/(N/V)- (1)/N- a note's position between the left and right// (2)N- an
envelope's range on this spectrum// (3)/V-to program the pan of a note or an
envelope
pitch/N- the value of a sample's tonal position, esp. as measured by half tone on
a 12-step octave/pitch cannot be edited by envelope, except for that of an
individual note of a sustaining sample/ CANNIBALPLANET works within six octaves
worth of pitch for programming any given note
punchy/A- possessing a tendency to enter data with a measure of sloppiness, esp.
as a result of overworking and/or or lakk of sleep//caffeine is always an
acceptable excuse for punchiness
rhythm/N- the speed of a given point of a track, most often described in bpm
riff/N- a defined envelope comprising 1 or more tracks, spanning 1 or more whole
measures/riffs are conveniently edited as contained pan- and volume envelopes
sample/(N/V)- (1)/N- a short or sustaining sound adaptable to manipulation by
programming// (2)/V- to gather a sample//a sample can be copied and manipulated
for the creation of a new sample/copying samples in this manner allows for a
wider range of manipulations effectively available for the original sound
sample offset/N- a value which measures the point at which a given instance of a
sample "begins" as a result of cropping/sample offset can be programmed by the
envelope
track/N- a succession of riffs comprising an individual recording/any given part
of a composition consists of 1 or more tracks programmed to play
simultaneously/hevvn's gate is capable of programming up to 24 tracks
track/N- a complete, individual composition
trigger/N- a sample or instrumentation that is performed at the punch of a
button/CANNIBALPLANET currently uses no manual triggers whatsoever, but,
naturally, we hope that this will change with the acquisition of new toys
tweak/V- to meticulously alter a stretch of programming, esp. a percussion
track/this term most often describes the altering of all or most individual
riffs in an extensive loop
