Toolbar

The toolbar contains tools with which you can play back and edit the sample and specify how it is displayed.

Play Sample

Plays back the raw sample.

Play Selection Looped

Activate this button to play back the selection in a loop.

Auto-Scroll

If this button is activated, the waveform display is scrolled during playback, keeping the playback cursor visible.

Follow Sample Playback

Activate this button to see a playback cursor when triggering a sample via MIDI.

Range Selection Tool

Click and drag with this tool to create a selection.

Zoom Tool

If this tool is selected, you can click in the waveform to zoom in on the position where you click.

Play Tool

If this tool is selected, you can click in the waveform to start playback. The sample is played back from this position until you release the mouse button.

Scrub Tool

If this tool is selected, you can click in the waveform and drag sideways to play back the audio. The playback direction and speed depend on how fast and how far you move the mouse to the left or to the right from the position where you clicked.

Snap

If this button is activated, the selection start and end points and the markers snap to other markers.

Snap to Zero Crossing

If this button is activated, markers and selection start and end points are only placed at zero crossings, that is, at positions in the audio where the amplitude is zero. This helps you to avoid pops and clicks that are caused by sudden amplitude changes.

Edit Loop

If this button is activated, the editor shows the looped region as overlay with the original sample in the background. This provides a better overview over the transition between loop end and loop start and allows you to set the loop markers to the best positions.

Show Resulting Loop Crossfade

Activate this button to see the effect of your crossfade settings in the waveform display. If this button is activated, the resulting waveform is displayed in red.

Note

This button only has an effect if Edit Loop is activated.

Trim Sample

Trims the sample, either to the selection or to the range that is set with the sample start/end markers.

Revert to Full Sample

Undoes the trimming, so that the entire sample is restored.

Note

After undoing the trimming, make sure to set the start/end markers to their original positions. Otherwise, these parts are not played back.

Sample Path

Shows the name of the loaded sample and its location on your system.

Show Fades in Wave

Activate this button to show the effect of your fade settings directly in the waveform.

Show Channel Sum/Show Left Channel/Show Right Channel

These buttons allow you to show the left channel, the right channel, or the sum of the left and right channels in the waveform display.

If no button is activated, the left channel of a stereo channel is shown at the top and the right channel at the bottom.

For single-channel samples, the available channel is shown.

Preview Volume

Click this icon to display a level slider. Keep the mouse button pressed and use the slider to specify the level for previewing your samples.

Note

Preview Volume affects the Play Sample function and the Play tool.
