To reverse the selected clip region, tap Reverse.
To mute the selected clip region, tap Mute.
To lengthen or shorten the selected clip region without changing its pitch, tap Warp, which will enable the
Semi, Fine, and BPM fields next to it. Use the BPM field to change the tempo, which will change the length of the
clip region accordingly. Use the Semi and Fine fields if you want to change the pitch (this is useful for matching the
durations of two samples with different pitches).
Tip: You can configure audio track recording to ensure the resulting clip region is warped automatically. You can then
adjust the project tempo while clip region remains in time. See
this.
Note: When you record an audio file, the current project tempo will be embedded with it. This information is stored
within the sample file when you save the project. When you warp an audio clip region, the warping algorithm uses this
project tempo and the current value in the BPM field to generate the "stretch factor."
Note: The Warp algorithms are very CPU-intensive and can result in audio drop-outs during playback if used too
freely. Be mindful of how (and how often) you use the warp function. You can reduce the CPU resources required by
doing any/all of the following:
Minimize the amount of pitch adjustment (e.g., the Semi and Fine fields).
Avoid warping very small clip regions.
Warp as few tracks or clip regions as possible (i.e., reduce the number of total number of voices [of the
polyphonic limit] that use the warp algorithm at a given time), especially instances where the warped regions
start at the same time.
If you have warped samples used in a drum kit, consider using the Flatten Pad function to consolidate the
affected pad's layers into one audio sample (see
sample/samples no longer need to be warped.
To open the Timing Correct window, press and hold Shift, and then tap TC at the bottom of the screen. See
