Displaying the Loop Tuner
1.
Open the Loop.pca file. A sustaining loop appears in the data window.
2.
From the View menu, choose Loop Tuner. The Loop Tuner appears at the bottom of the data window and
displays the waveform of the file’s loop.
Playing loops using the Loop Tuner
The Loop Tuner contains three playback buttons: Play Pre-Loop, Play Loop, and Play Post-Loop.
• Click the
Play Pre-Loop button ( ) to start playback of a file from its beginning and stop playback at the
loop start tag.
• Click the
Play Loop button ( ) to start playback of the looped region. The number of times the loop plays
is dependent upon the
Loop count value in the Edit Sample dialog. Use this button to audition the loop for
pops and glitches. For more information, see Creating a sustaining loop on page 220.
• Click the
Play Post-Loop button ( ) to start playback immediately following the loop end point and
continue through the end of the file.
Tip:
You can use the Play as Sample button () in the
playbar to audition the entire sample with configured loops.
