including before the Start and Alt. If you try to move it after the End, the End will be moved
with it.
The End (E) parameter sets the point at which the current sample will stop playback. Typically
youÕll use this parameter to trim unwanted silence off the end of a sample, although you can
use it to shorten a sample as much as you want.
If you want to truncate a sample to save memory, there are two points to keep in mind. First, if
the Alt parameter is set before the Start, you wonÕt save any memory by truncating the Start.
Likewise, you wonÕt save memory by truncating the End if the Alt is set after the End. You
wonÕt save memory by truncating a sample until you save the sample and exit the Sample
Editor.
You can also use the Truncate DSP function to automatically truncate your samples at a
speciÞed noise ßoor. As with the TRIM page, youÕll recover memory after saving the sample
and exiting the Sample Editor.
LOOP
The LOOP page features the same four parameters as the TRIM page, but the waveform
display is quite different. The best way to understand what you see on the LOOP page is to
switch back and forth between the TRIM and LOOP pages and study the waveform displays.

On the TRIM page you see the entire waveformÑor as much of the waveform as your current
zoom setting allows. When you move to the LOOP page, youÕll notice that the page is split into
two sections, left and right, divided by a vertical bar in the center. This bar is thicker than the
vertical lines representing the Start, Alt, Loop, and End points, and does not move when you
adjust any of these points.
To the left of the dividing bar you see the same segment of the current sample that you see on
the TRIM page. The four vertical lines representing the Start (S), Alt (A), Loop (L), and End (E)
points are visible. (Remember, youÕll see all four vertical lines only if the values for the Start,
Alt, Loop, and End parameters are different.) To the right of the dividing bar you see the entire
loop segment of the sample.
In the center of the loop segment is a dotted vertical bar that represents the loop transition
pointÑthat is, the point at which the sample reaches its End point and loops back to the Loop
point. You can visualize the loop segment by starting at the vertical transition point; this is the
beginning of the loop, as deÞned by the setting for the Loop parameter. The waveform
progresses to the right, representing the initial portion of the loop segment. The waveform
ÒdisappearsÓ off the far right side of the display, and ÒreappearsÓ at the thick dividing bar at
the center of the display. The waveform again progresses to the right, representing the Þnal
portion of the loop segment. It reaches the dotted vertical transition line, representing the End
point of the sample, where it jumps once again to the loop point and repeats the cycle.
