SAMPLING (RECORD+REASON)
415
The Edit Sample window can be resized in all directions by clicking and dragging the window frame. If you resize the
window vertically, the displayed waveform will be resized vertically as well.
• Undo and Redo buttons
The Undo and Redo buttons work like the regular undo and redo functions in the main window menu, but these
are used locally only for the Sample Edit window. The number of Undo and Redo steps in the Sample Edit window
are limited to 10. Once you have clicked the Save button, you can still undo the entire sample editing procedure by
using the Undo function in the main window.
• Crop button
Click the Crop button to crop the sample so that only the content between the Start (S) and End (E) locators is
preserved. The rest of the sample will be permanently deleted. See “Cropping samples” for more info.
• Normalize button
Click the Normalize button to amplify the entire sample so that the loudest peak touches 0 dB. Note that the entire
sample is normalized, regardless of any locator settings. See “Normalizing samples” for more info.
• Reverse button
Click the Reverse button to reverse (play backward) the entire sample. Note that the entire sample is reversed, re-
gardless of any locator settings. See “Reversing samples” for more info.
• Fade In and Fade Out buttons
The Fade In and Fade Out buttons can be used to apply a fade in or fade out of the sample volume. See “Fading
in/out samples” for more info.
• Loop Mode buttons
Click one of the Loop Mode buttons to select loop type. The default (leftmost) setting is “no loop”. Then follow
“Loop Forward” and “Loop Forward + Backward”. See “Looping samples” for more info.
•Waveform pane
Here, the currently open sample is displayed as one (mono) or two (stereo) waveforms. The Start (S) and End (E)
locators are also displayed. By default the Start locator is placed where the audio begins in the sample. This means
that if you have started sampling before there were any audio present, the playback will automatically start where
the audio begins. This way you won’t have to manually move the Start locator in most situations.
• Waveform Navigator
Below the waveform pane is the horizontal Waveform Navigator. This can be operated in the same way as the
Song Navigator in the sequencer (see “Scrolling with the Navigators”, “Zooming horizontally in the Sequencer” and
“Scrolling and zooming using a wheel mouse”).
• Set Sample Start/End button
Set the desired sample playback region by clicking and dragging on the waveform pane. Then, click the Set Sam-
ple Start/End button to automatically place the Start and End locators at the beginning and end of the sample re-
gion. See “The Set Start/End function” for more info.
• Snap Sample Start/End To Transients button
Click the Snap Sample Start/End To Transients button to make the Start and End locators snap to suitable tran-
sients in the sample as you move the locators. This makes it easier to find appropriate start and end locations for
the sample playback.
• Crossfade Loop checkbox
Tick the Crossfade Loop box to introduce a crossfade in the loop. Crossfade is useful to even out any clicks in the
loop points, especially for sounds with fairly even volume throughout the loop region. See “The Crossfade Loop
function” for more info.
• Set Loop button
Set the desired loop region by clicking and dragging on the waveform pane. Then, click the Set Loop button to au-
tomatically place the Left and Right Loop locators at the beginning and end of the loop region. See “The Set Loop
function” for more info.
