7. Digital
Tools I
This submodule contains several additional numbered functions. These
are extremely useful utilities for manipulating samples. The following is
a short description of each function.
0. Sample Calculator: Calculates and displays the optimum pitch to
sample rate ratios for single cycle loops at the desired pitch.
1. Taper: Adds a fade-in and or fade-out to the sample, thus
smoothing out samples with abrupt beginnings or endings.
2. Gain Change: Alters the level of all or a part of a sample.
3. Reverse: Reverses all or part of a sample.
4. Stereo <-> Mono: Converts a stereo sample to mono or a mono
sample to stereo.
5. Left <-> Right: Swaps sides if the current sample is stereo or moves
a mono sample to the other side.
6. DC Filter: Removes the DC component from a sample, centering
the waveform around the zero axis.
7. Sample Integrity: Samples may occasionally have slight looping
problems due to data corruption of the sample header file. This
function remedies the problem by reconstructing the sample header.
