Editing Samples in the Sample Editor
Parameter Section

Zoom Envelope
Zooms in on the pitch and level envelopes. This allows you to edit the envelopes
in more detail.
Bypass Gain, Tuning, Fades, and Envelopes in Editor Playback
Bypasses any level and pitch corrections that are performed by changing the gain
of the sample, using fade curves, the pitch envelope, and the level envelope.
Parameter Section
The parameter section below the waveform display contains sample and sample zone
parameters.
NOTE
The Sample Oscillator parameters on the Main and Loop tabs can be edited for multiple
samples at the same time. This can be useful to add a fade to a multi-selection or to set
loop markers for several samples that contain different microphone signals of the same
instrument, for example.
Main Tab
The Main tab contains the zone parameters, the marker settings, and the fade settings for
the sample.
Playback Mode
• Normal – The sample is played back from beginning to end. If loops are
defined, they are played back according to their loop settings.
• Reverse – The sample is played from end to beginning, ignoring any loop
settings.
• One-Shot – The sample is played back from beginning to end, regardless of
any loop settings.
• Reverse One-Shot – The sample is played back from end to beginning,
regardless of any loop settings.
In One-Shot and Reverse One-Shot mode, the zones ignore any MIDI note-off
messages. All envelopes and LFOs play until their sustain is reached and then
remain on this level for as long as the sample plays back. Any release segments
of the envelopes and LFOs are not played. However, if you activate One-Shot
mode in the Envelope section, the release nodes of the envelopes are included in
the playback.
Fixed Pitch
If a sample zone is triggered by a MIDI note other than the one defined by the
Root Key setting, the sample is normally pitched accordingly. If Fixed Pitch is
