Use the Sampler Zone pane
You can see the current waveform of the selected zone and can directly edit a number of
sample playback parameters in the Zone pane waveform display. You can zoom in or out
with pinch gestures, or scroll the waveform display using two-finger swipes or by dragging
the scroll bar. You can use single-finger swipes if you are using a Magic Mouse.
Important: Use of gestures, such as swiping or pinching require these features to be
enabled in the Mouse or Trackpad panes of your System Preferences.
As you move the pointer across the waveform display, it changes in appearance and
function. For example, the pointer will change to indicate that you can move a slice marker
or fade marker. In addition, parameters and values related to the current pointer tool
function are shown below the waveform display (and in Zone view).
