• If Loop Rate is set to Sync or Free, the Loop Smoothing Time will be displayed as a
percentage of the loop cycle duration.
• If Loop Rate is set to as set, the Loop Smoothing Time will be displayed in
milliseconds (ms).
Loop Count
The loop cycle of the Vector Envelope doesn’t need to be performed infinitely—you
can have it cycle just a few times. Following the defined number of repetitions, the
Vector Envelope will run from the sustain point onwards, just as with Loop Mode off.
• Use the mouse as a slider to set the Loop Count value. Possible values are 1 to 10 and
infinite.
Time Scaling
You can stretch and compress the entire Vector Envelope. As an example, to double the
Vector Envelope’s speed, it’s not necessary to halve the time values of every point. All
you need to do is set Time Scaling to 50%.
• Adjust Time Scaling by using the mouse as a slider.
• The range for the Time Scaling parameter is from 10% to 1000%. It is scaled
logarithmically.
• If the Loop Rate is as set, the scaling also affects the loop. If not (Loop Rate = free or
sync), the setting will not be affected by Time Scaling.
Fix Timing—Normalizing Time Scaling and Loop Rate
By clicking Fix Timing, the Time Scaling value will be multiplied by all time parameters,
and Time Scaling will be reset to 100%. There will be no audible difference. This is simply
a normalizing procedure, most similar to the normalizing function of the Region
playback parameters in Logic.
