Parameter

Description

ACTIVE

Enable this to define a loop in the Sample of the focused Zone.
When the play position reaches the loop, the playback is looped

as long as the note is held. This can be useful to loop either a

whole Sample or part of it, e.g., to simulate a longer tone. Note:
this technique requires that you set the Sampler’s

Type

selector

to

AHD

or

ADSR

on the

Pitch / Envelope

page (see

7.2.2, Page

2: Pitch / Envelope

).

START

Adjusts the loop’s start point.

END

Adjusts the loop’s end point.

XFADE

(Crossfade)

Allows you to blend a little of the material near the loop start

and end points in order to get a smoother, less abrupt loop. This

is particularly helpful if the loop is inducing any clicks.

Alternatively you can also adjust the loop’ start and end points by dragging the borders of the

loop in the Sample view, and move the entire loop by dragging its title bar.

By moving the loop’s start and end points closer to each other you can shrink the loop to very small
values on-the-fly, thereby creating very interesting glitch effects in a live situation.

The loop will always stay within the play range of the Sample. Therefore, when moving the Sample’s

playback start and end points closer to each other, keep in mind that it might also shrink the loop!
