In Ricepad you create music by arranging objects called modules in a horizontal chain.
Let's begin by loading a new module on the left.
Modules can be audio sources, which introduce the sound into the chain,
or effects to modify it. Plus two extra modules.
The File Player prompts to load an audio file that will be played in loop.
A constantly growing library of samples is already included in Ricepad.
Of course you can also import your personal files, or use the copy/paste compatible with Intua.
Now let's add a low-pass filter on the right.
The sound goes from left to right in the chain, so the effect modifies the audio of the loop.
All effects have the same XY blue pad interface.
Here's another effect. By default the delay time of the Dub Delay is synchronized with the music.
Remember that the sound goes from left to right.
Can you hear the difference after having changed the order of the effects?
The central clock button gives access to many functions, such as removing a module.
Let's now insert a Sampler, a module that has many functions.
This time we're going to use it to resample the sound of the File Player.
By default, the clips are recorded and also played back in sync with the music.
The played sequence can be recorded and played back on the fly.
The Sampler can also load a sample kit, ready to be used.
Some modules have a back panel giving access to the settings.
The Sampler has a graphic editor to program the sequence with 1/16 resolution.
The crossfader of the File Player mixes the volume of its input (i.e. the sound coming from the left)
with the volume of the file being played.
It also allows to save four different points in the loop,
and then to jump between them during the execution, always in sync with the music.
Ricepad has *more* than what you've just seen. Please check out the list of features.
