Changing the sample length

When recording, you may have included exceeding materials at the begin-
ning and/or ending of the sample. You can cut them out of the sample.

Use the

Start

parameter to edit the sample’s start point (in samples). Match

the start point with the actual attack of the sound you can see in the dia-
gram.
If the Start point reaches the Loop Start point, this latter is also moved for-
ward.

Use the

End

parameter to edit the sample and loop end point (in samples).

Match this point to the actual end of the sound you can see in the diagram.
When writing the edited sample, the segments exceeding the Start and End
points will be permanently removed.

Changing the loop start

The loop is the cycling segment at the end of a sample, allowing for playing
long notes while still using short recordings.

Be sure the

Loop On

checkbox is selected in the

Sampling > Loop

page.

Otherwise, moving the loop start point will have no effect.

When back to the

Sampling > Edit

page, use the

Loop Start

parameter to

adjust the Loop Start point. When you adjust this parameter, an audible click

may appear, due to a pitch and/or level mismatch between the starting and
ending points of the loop. Move the Loop Start and Loop/Sample End point,
so that the click can no longer be heard.
