Changing the Length of Segments

If a segment includes more than a note, or if a single note is spread over multiple segments, you can change them.

1. Compare the segments with the waveform envelope for each note.
2. Optional: Select one or several segments and on the Sample Editor toolbar, activate the Audition to audition the segments.
3. Perform one of the following actions:

   • If a segment includes more than a note, move the mouse pointer over the lower border of the segment and click to cut the segment.

     
     

     

     
     

   • If a single note is spread over several segments, hold down Alt and move the mouse pointer over the segment, and click to glue the segment to the next segment.

     
     

     

     
     

   Note

   If the segment is already very short, it cannot be cut.

Result

The segments are changed according to your edits. The average pitch of the segment is recalculated.

Note

Changing the length of a segment may lead to a different average pitch and therefore to a pitch change. If the non-tonal portions of the audio increase, the segment may be deleted.

After Completing This Task

If a note is at the wrong position after cutting the segment, move it horizontally.
