Play Sample

Plays back the original sample.

You can specify the playback volume and output with the Preview Volume and Output for Preview controls in the upper right corner of the editor.

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.

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 left or right from the position where you clicked.

Marker Creation Mode
  • If this parameter is set to Equal Distance, the markers are equally distributed over the sample.

  • If this parameter is set to Exponential, the distances between the markers increase over the length of the sample.

  • If this parameter is set to Spectral, the entire sample is analyzed and markers are only inserted if the change in the spectrum exceeds the set threshold.

  • If this parameter is set to Spectral Voiced, the entire sample is analyzed and markers are only inserted if the change in the spectrum exceeds the set threshold and if a pitch is detected at this position.

Note

Markers are created automatically each time that you change the Marker Creation Mode, the Number of Markers, or the Threshold.

Number of Markers

The number of markers in the sample display.

You can enter the number of markers that you want to use directly in the value field.

Set Markers

Analyzes the sample and inserts markers, depending on the Marker Creation Mode setting.

Sample Position

The position of the selected marker in the sample.

Fixed Size

Sets the FFT window to a fixed size. This is useful if you want to extract a specific portion of a sample.

  • If this button is activated, you can enter the size in number of samples in the Window Size value field.

    Note

    If the window size does not match the fundamental frequency of the sample, the extracted wave has digital artifacts.

Detected Pitch

The detected pitch at the current marker position.

Window Crossfade

Sets window crossfade.

Note

This option is only available for the Rectangular window type.

Window Size

Sets the size of the window.

Window Type

Allows you to select the window type.

Pitch Detection Sensitivity

Allows you to adjust the pitch detection curve. For example, if the pitch detection curve changes too fast or if it contains wrong pitches, lower the Pitch Detection Sensitivity.
