The Crossfade Loop function
Crossfades are useful for evening out clicks or transients at the loop points, especially in sounds with fairly constant
volume throughout the loop zone. The Crossfade Loop function creates smooth volume crossfade around the Loop
Locators.
D Tick the Crossfade Loop box to automatically introduce a crossfade in the loop.
• When the Crossfade Loop function is active, moving the Left and/or Right Loop Locators will force them to au-
tomatically “snap” to suitable loop positions. If you move the Left Loop Locator, the Right Loop Locator will
automatically self-adjust to a suitable loop position.
This way you will quickly reach a good result.
q Experiment by alternating the Loop Modes between Loop Forward and Loop Forward + Backward. Just chang-
ing Loop Mode can make the loop transitions much smoother in many situations.
q A general tip when trying to create a smooth loop is to locate the loop zone where the volume and timbre is
fairly constant over time. Big changes in volume and/or timbre in the loop zone will often result in quite pro-
nounced or strange “pulsating” loops. Also, very short loop zones often tend to sound unnatural and “static”.
Saving edited samples
D Click the Save button in the Edit Sample Window to save your edited sample.
The sample is saved, complete with all the edits you have made in the Edit Sample Window (Start, End, Loop set-
tings, Name etc.) The sample will appear in the Song Samples list in the Tool Window, with the new name if this
has been changed.
! If you have opened and edited a ReFill sample, a copy of this sample (including any edits) will be saved with its
original name in the All Self-contained Samples folder.
Renaming samples
1. Type in the desired name of your sample in the Name field in the Edit Sample Window.
2. Click the Save button to save the sample with the new name.
! Note that saving a sample under a different name will simply replace the current name - it will not create a copy
of the original sample!
