Looping and Loop Processing
Loop Settings
These controls allow you to turn looping On or Off, select whether the Loop in Release
function is On or Off, select the current loop, lock the loop length, turn triplet playback
On or Off and dial in the selection start and end points with sample accuracy. There is
also an overall tempo display.
Loop Button
This button enables or disables looping. You’ll be happy to know that if you loop a
sample and turn the loop off, the loop pointers remain exactly where you set them
when the loop is turned back on (even after saving).
Loop in Release Button
With Loop in Release off, the sample stays in the loop as long as the key is held, and
plays the sound data after the loop when the key is released. With Loop in Release on,
the sample remains looping when the key is released.
Loop Select
This field selects the current loop when multiple loops are defined. For more information
about multiple loops see “Using Loops” on page 195.
Lock Button
The Lock button fixes the loop length at its current value. This is a handy feature when
you have found the correct loop length and are looking for a better start point. The lock
button is also very useful for creating groove loops and single cycle loops.
Select Loop
This tool automatically selects the region between the loop markers for the currently
selected loop. Select Loop is available from the toolbar button or by selecting it
from the Sample Edit pull-down menu.
Select All
This tool automatically selects the entire sample. Select All is available from the toolbar
button or by selecting it from the Sample Edit pull-down menu.
No Snap
Selections made in the Sample Edit window will not snap to any boundaries when this
option is active. No Snap can be enabled from the toolbar button or by selecting it
from the Sample Edit pull-down menu.
Snap To Marker
Selections made in the Sample Edit window will snap to Loop Markers, Note-Onsets,
or Beat Markers when this option is active. Snap To Marker can be enabled from the
toolbar button or by selecting it from the Sample Edit pull-down menu.
