PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [88/307] Use the bend panel

Like many other editing operations, when moving a Bend marker with Snap enabled, the marker snaps to the nearest

interval dictated by the current Snap setting. Hold [Shift] while moving a marker to temporarily disable Snap for finer

control, or to enable snapping if it's currently disabled.

If you wish to relocate a Bend marker (without timestretching the surrounding audio), hold [Alt] and click-and-drag the

Bend marker to the desired position.

If you are manipulating Bend Markers on a Track, you should set the Timestretch mode of the Track to Audio Bend, so that

the audio is processed with the correct algorithm. This algorithm ensures that transients are unaffected, only stretching or

compressing the “tail,” or harmonic content, that follows the transient.

Note that for audio to be stretched or compressed by manipulating a Bend Marker, at least one other Bend Marker should

exist to the left or right of the one being manipulated, to be used as the basis for stretching or compressing. If no other

Bend Marker exists, the beginning and end of the audio clip for the Event are used. For instance, if you want to change the

rhythmic phrasing of a word in a vocal part, add a Bend Marker to the left and right of the word you want to alter before

attempting to move the word itself.

Multiple Bend Markers can be selected for simultaneous editing with the Bend tool by holding [Shift] and clicking on the

desired markers, or selecting a group of markers while holding [Alt].

You can reset a Bend Marker to its original position by [Right]/[Ctrl]-clicking on it and selecting Reset Bend Marker. Multiple

selected Bend Markers can be reset at once, making it possible to easily restore the original timing if editing produced

undesirable results.

Use The Bend Panel

When working with Bend Markers, you may find it useful to have the Bend panel displayed, as this is where the most

common Bend Marker-related actions are found. To open the Bend panel, click on the Bend Panel button in the toolbar or

select Bend from the Views/Additional Views menu. The Bend panel can also be detached and freely placed onscreen.

In the Detection section, you can change the transient-detection mode, which is set to Standard by default. If this mode

does not accurately locate transients to your liking, switch the mode to Sensitive and analyze the audio again.

In the Bend Marker section, you can remove all Bend Markers or Restore all Bend Markers in the selected Event by

clicking on the respective buttons. You can also adjust the Bend Marker Threshold, using the slider.

In the Track section, you can set the Timestretch mode for the Track on which the selected Event resides and can select

Guide Tracks if that Track is in a Group.

In the Action section, Quantize is selected by default, and a Strength percentage slider is displayed. Click on Apply to

quantize any selected Event. The Strength setting alters the Start percentage in the Quantize panel, providing a simple

way to alter the strength of the quantize process.
