Truncating a sample used by a partial's SMT (Sample Mix Table)
Use the Truncate operation to delete unwanted
portions of a sample.
By deleting unnecessary portions (e.g., regions of
silence at the beginning and end) of the sample data
used by a partial or audio phrase, you can reduce the
amount of space occupied by the data, and use
memory more efficiently.

playback region of a sample (p. 60).
The Truncate operation will apply to the region
between the Start Point and End Point of the sample.

The Time Stretch command
modifies the actual data of
the sample itself. This
means that if you execute
Time Stretch on a sample
that is used by a partial or
audio phrase, this may
affect the way in which
those sounds play.
