Hi:
I have an audio sample of a piano sound (ie, a simple recording of someone pressing down on the key of a piano).
I would like to take the sample of the piano sound, manipulate it, and then use the newly-created sound in an electroacoustic composition that I am working on.
I have Z3ta+2, which I was hoping to use to do the desired manipulations. However, when I upload the sample of the piano sound into Z3ta, the sample sounds nothing like itself (ie, it sounds all distorted). I tried initializing z3ta before uploading the sample so that I'm starting from a clean slate (ie, with no other parameters that could be the cause of distorting the sample), but no luck.
Is there a way to upload the sample into Z3ta so that it retains its original characteristics? Alternatively, should I be using a different sampling software - if so, which one?
Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks.
