New features and Documentation
Version 2.0 is more or less a total rewrite of ReCycle. Many changes have been made to the program, including a complete redesign of the user interface. This means that even if you're an experienced ReCycle user, we recommend that you read the included documentation.

• If you have purchased a new copy of ReCycle, a printed manual describes the main features of the program (this book is also included in Acrobat format, see below). Sampler details and additional features are described in the included Acrobat (pdf) documents described below.

• If you are updating from an older version of the program, please refer to the included Acrobat documentation, which is divided into three parts: "Operation Manual", "Sampler and File Format Reference" and "Keyboard Shortcuts".

To be able to read the Acrobat documentation you must have Acrobat Reader 4.0 or later installed on your computer. An installer for this is included on the CD-ROM!

Additional features not mentioned in manual 
• On the Process menu there is an item; "Add Slices at Grid" which is selectable if "Show Grid" is activated on the View menu. This feature adds a new slice at each 16th note position.

• ReCycle recognizes and loads split stereo files, common when working with Logic/Pro Tools.
Split stereo files have the extension ".L" or ".R" that indicates which stereo channel it belongs to (left or right). Whenever you load an audio file with either of these extensions, ReCycle automatically scans for the corresponding "match", and will load it at the same time. ReCycle determines this match by searching for a corresponding file with the same name (but with the opposite L/R extension). The file also has to have the same bit rate, sample length and should be located in the same folder.

• "Transmit as One Sample will Crop to Loop" additional Preference dialog item. When exporting or transmitting a loop with “Transmit as One Sample” enabled, this feature will crop the transmitted loop at the exact position of the Right locator, omitting any Stretch tail that may be present beyond this point.

Important Points to Note
In order to avoid problems, there are a few points that we recommend that you check thoroughly. Please refer to the ReCycle documentation for more details:

• Please read the Sampler and File Format Reference for your sampler(s)! 
The Sampler and File Format Reference contains important information about each particular sampler. Read the chapter pertaining to your particular model(s), before you start using ReCycle. 
Failing to do so may lead to lost data, or in the worst case, damaged equipment!

• Observe the sampler notes. 
In the Sampler Settings dialog, there are some important notes about each sampler. Read them!

• Make sure your sampler has the latest OS version! 
If you are unsure of which OS (operating system) version you have, or which is the latest, please refer to your sampler's documentation and your local dealer or distributor. Sometimes sampler operating systems can be downloaded from the manufacturer's web pages.

• Make sure you have the latest drivers for your MIDI and SCSI interfaces.
Please refer to your MIDI/SCSI card's documentation and your local dealer and or distributor. Normally, the latest drivers can be downloaded from the manufacturer's web pages.

“Find” and “Find All” and High SysEx IDs
The MIDI part of the Find and Find All features in ReCycle 2.0 assume that your samplers are set to MIDI System Exclusive ID numbers 1 to 16. If you have your samplers set to higher SysEx IDs, these functions will fail.

Sound Buffer Note
To get the shortest possible response times when playing back audio in the program, it is important that you follow the instructions for selecting an audio card and adjusting the buffer size setting, in the Preferences dialog. How to do this is described in the Windows Help and in the Operation Manual.

If you fail to adjust the buffer, the sound might be distorted or ReCycle might be unnecessarily unresponsive, for example when auditioning slices.

Multi-Port Interfaces
It has come to our attention that there are compatibility problems between some samplers (Ensoniq and Yamaha primarily) and some multi-port MIDI interfaces. This is due to the fact that these samplers transmit their MIDI data in very large MIDI packages, something that not all multi-port interfaces can handle. If you run into this problem, either switch to a simpler MIDI interface for communication with this sampler, or contact the manufacturer of the MIDI interface to see if there's another solution.

Thanks for checking out ReCycle!
