Edit Operation

This menu is used for selecting the type of edit oper-
ation to be performed on your selected event. The
Edit Operations are as follows:
After selecting an event (using the

Event Editor

Event Select tool), a number of fields will appear to
the left of the Waveform.
Name Allows you to name the selected audio event.
Time Displays the start time of the selected audio
event.
Duration Displays the length of the selected audio
event.
Offset Allows you to set an offset for the selected
audio event.
Muted Check this box to mute the selected audio
event.
Initial Gain Use this field to set the selected audio
event's starting volume.
Final Gain Use this field to set the selected audio
event's ending volume.
Ramp Up Start Time This field designates at what
time the selected audio event will begin fading in.
Ramp Up End Time This field designates at what
time the fade-in for the selected audio event will end.
Ramp Down Start Time This field designates at
what time the selected audio event will begin fading
out.
Ramp Down End Time This field designates at
what time the fade-out for the selected audio event
will end.
This operation allows you to select

HyperSelect

the events in a given region according to rules you
designate (see "HyperSelect" on page 160). For
example, you could select all audio events after bar
108.
Allows you to move a selected event forward

or backward in time by a defined amount.
This operation takes any number of

Render

selected audio clips and consolidates them into one
file. You can choose the name for the new clip before

rendering. This is currently the only way to name a
raw audio file.
This operation allows the

Repeat Selection

selection to be repeated a specified number of times.
Repeats are pasted sequentially, end to end.
Count This field determines the number of repeats.
Merge Events This box is grayed out for audio
event editing, as the SX-1 cannot merge audio events
in this manner.
This operation takes the selected audio

event and reverses it.
This operation offers a quick way to

Gain/Fade

create linear fade-ins and fade-outs. There are two
parameters: and
Start Amount
Start Amount refers to the level of the audio file at
the beginning of the selection.
End Amount refers to the level of the audio at the
end of the selection. The
Start
ters are ratios based upon the actual level of the audio
file—meaning that a value of
the audio file's amplitude.
To make a fade-in, select an audio event that you
would like to fade (if there is not a separate event yet
to fade, use Split to create one), and then select
your Start Amount, and

Press , and the SX-1 will render your fade into

the audio event.
The Normalize operation raises the

Normalize

gain of an event to a preset ceiling. This operation
analyzes the audio event according to the setting of
the field. If is selected, the analysis looks for
Type Peak
the loudest transient in the file. If
analysis looks for the average loudest value over
time. The setting determines what the level

ceiling is for the action. For example, if the
is set to , and the field is set to
-.3 Type
will raise the level of the entire audio event equally,
so that the loudest transient is -0.3 dB below 0 dB
(which is full clip in a digital system).
This operation removes any instances

improper digital conversion.
