Waveform display parameters
• Sample name field and pop-up menu: Load, choose, or rename an audio file or perform
file handling tasks.

• Rename Current File: Opens a file renaming dialog. Type the new filename and click
OK or press Return.
• Remove Current File: Removes the selected audio file, indicated with a checkmark

• Clear History: Clears all but the most recently used file.
• Load Audio File: Adds an audio file from any folder you select. You can also drag
audio files directly into the waveform display area.
• Snap pop-up menu: Choose a value. Edits to crossfade, sample, slice, or loop start and
end markers in the waveform display automatically snap to the nearest possible value.
• Zoom vertical button: Switch between the maximum vertical zoom view and the default
waveform display view.
• Zoom horizontal button: Switch between the last manually set zoom level, if applicable,
and an optimized zoom level that shows the area between the sample start and end
markers. When no manual zoom level is set, the entire audio file is shown.
Tip: You can use your trackpad to zoom in or out on the waveform display with pinch
gestures, or scroll using two-finger swipes or by dragging the scroll bar. You can use
a Magic Mouse to perform the following gestures: use a one-finger horizontal swipe to
scroll, or a one-finger vertical swipe to zoom.
• Action pop-up menu: Choose a sample handling, processing, or display function for the
active mode.
Note: Control-click the waveform display to access shortcut menu items that apply to
the active mode.
