Use the Root Note field to set the root note of the sample. This defines which note will play the sample at its original
pitch when in a keygroup track.
Tap X-Fade to open the X-Fade window, which lets you apply real-time crossfade looping to sample playback. Before
applying a crossfade, make sure the Loop Lock setting is Off and the Loop function is set to Forward. Then, you can
set the Length of the crossfade and the Type, either Equal Power or Linear.
To select a slice to edit, (after you have created slices in Chop Mode), use the Slice field.
When Link Slices is enabled (after you have created slices in Chop Mode), changing the start point of a slice will also
change the end point of the previous slice. Similarly, changing the end point of a slice will also change the start point of
the next slice. Disable Link Slices if you are trying to create slices that use non-contiguous parts of the sample.
To enable or disable this feature, tap the Link Slices button.
Important: Link Slices must be disabled to make slices non-sequential, noncontiguous, or overlapping.
0 Snap forces start points, end points, and loop points to occur only at the waveform's "zero-crossings." This can help
to avoid clicks and glitches when playing a sample.
To enable or disable 0 Snap, press and hold Shift, and then tap 0 Snap at the bottom of the screen.
To enable or disable the loop function, press and hold Shift, and then tap Loop at the bottom of the screen. This
switches the loop function between Forward and off. The loop function is described earlier.
Tip: You can use Trim Mode for a specific slice of the sample, previously created and selected in Chop Mode. This
allows for a more detailed view of a single slice than in Chop Mode and gives you more options for auditioning the slice.
You can easily switch between Trim Mode and Chop Mode while doing this.
To use both Trim Mode and Chop Mode to edit a sample slice:
1. Tap Trim/Chop at the bottom of the screen so it says Chop.
2. Set all fields as desired to create your sample slices.
3. Select the desired slice.
4. Tap Trim/Chop at the bottom of the screen so it says Trim. The region you are now editing is indicated by the normal
start point and end point markers rather than slice markers.
5. Tap Trim/Chop at any time to return to Chop Mode.
