Setting Up a Loop
If the loops are not activated in the zone parameters, no loop markers are shown in the
waveform display. When selecting a loop type in the parameters section, the
corresponding markers are shown. By activating the Edit Loop function on the Sample
editor toolbar, the loop type is set and the loop markers are set to the sample
start/end range or the selection, if available.
Selecting a Loop Type
By selecting an option from the Loop pop-up menu on the Loop tab in the parameters
section, you define the loop type. The following options are available:
Option
No Loop
Continuous
Once
Until Release (sustain
loops only)
Moving Start and End Markers
The loop start and end markers can be set to suitable positions by dragging the
marker handles.
In edit mode, you can also press [Shift] and drag the audio before or after the loop end
marker to adjust the end or start position (respectively).
Detecting Loop Start and End Automatically
The loop detection functions search for loop marker positions taking into account
similarities within the sample. You can specify the size of the sample portion that has
to match before a loop is accepted. Furthermore, you can define the quality that
suggested loop markers should match.
To automatically detect a loop, proceed as follows:
1. Activate the "Edit Loop" button on the Sample editor toolbar.
2. Use the "Find Previous Loop Start/End" or "Find Next Loop Start/End" buttons on
the toolbar to detect suitable marker positions.
The loop markers are set accordingly.
Description
The sample is played without loops. You can also use this
option to remove existing loop markers.
The loop is played continuously until the end of the amplitude
envelope.
The loop is repeated once.
The loop is repeated until you release the key on the keyboard.
