THE AUDIO EDITOR
103
• CH R VIEW displays only the right channel of the audio file.
• STEREO VIEW displays both the left and the right channels.
ATTRIBUTES
Access by pressing [EFFECT 1] while in the audio editor. Here general information about
the selected or active sample is found. The settings made here can be permanentely linked
to a sample using the save commands found in the FILE menu, covered on page 104.
GAIN allows you to amplify or attenuate each individual sample without affecting any track
parameters or locks. On recorder buffers this setting defaults to +12 dB to compensate for
the attenuation the headroom of the audio engine inflicts. Please note that this value is
applied only when a sample is being trigged. If the sample being edited is long, adjusting
this parameter during playback of the sample will thus introduce no gain changes until it is
retrigged.
LOOP MODE controls the loop behavior of the sample. Three settings exist.
• OFF disregards all set loop points. The sample or slice will not loop.
• ON will loop a sample or sample slice containing a loop marker. Sample slices with-
out loop points will not be looped. Read more about loop points in the section “TRIM”
on page 95.
• PINGPONG makes the sample loop from the loop point to the end point, then play
from the end point to the loop point. The sample will thus alternate between playing
forwards and backwards.
• If the LOOP parameter in the FLEX/STATIC PLAYBACK SETUP menu is set to
AUTO, different loop settings can be applied to different samples used in a track.
TIMESTRETCH sets whether timestretch should be applied to the sample or not. Different
timestretch algorithms exist.
• OFF does not apply timestrech to the sample.
• NORMAL is an algorithm suitable for most material.
• BEAT is a timestretch algorithm especially useful for rhythmic material.
