Editing Samples in the Sample Editor
The most intuitive way to adjust sample and loop start and end points is to have a
visual representation of the waveform, which you can use as a guide to graphically
move the points to where you want them to be on the waveform. This allows you to
get much closer to the desired values much quicker than having to type in numerical
values without any visual guide.
The Instrument Editor does not offer a graphic representation of a sample’s waveform.
Because of this, the only way to set the start and end points or loop points of a sample
within the Instrument Editor is numerically. Thankfully Control-clicking the loop start
and end point parameters will open a shortcut menu, allowing you to open the
selected sample in the Logic Express Sample Editor (or the external sample editor set in
the preferences). This allows you to edit the sample borders and loop points
graphically. You can then simply save the sample, and the new values will be written to
the audio file header, and used properly by the EXS24 mkII.
Once you save and reopen a sample that you have edited in either the Logic Express
Sample Editor, or a third party sample editor, it is likely that either the start and end
points, or loop points—in the Parameters area—will no longer be accurate. The Update
Selected Zone(s) Info from Audio File command (in the Zone menu) reads loop settings
and start and end points from the audio file, and updates the settings of the zone
accordingly.
The Sample Editor window also offers the Edit > Sample Loop → Selection, Edit >
Selection → Sample Loop, and Edit > Write Sample Loop to Audio File functions.
