• Slice button: Enable Slice playback mode to divide samples into multiple segments
(slices) mapped to keys starting from the defined start key. Hold a key to start playback
from the beginning of each slice. Depending on settings, playback continues until the
next slice marker or the end marker while the key is held. When the Gate parameter is
active, playback stops when you release the key. A number of Slice mode parameters
are shown below the waveform display. This mode is ideal for manipulation of musical
phrases and looped, rhythmic material, allowing you to play different slices in any order.
You can also quickly create newDrum Machine Designerinstruments. SeeLogic Pro
Quick Sampler Slice mode.
• Recorder button: Enable Recorder mode to capture any audio signal as an audio
recording. This recording can be played while in Recorder mode, but not edited. Choose
another mode to set markers, to change playback behavior, and to change modulation
or filtering options. See Record in Logic Pro Quick Sampler.
Logic Pro Quick Sampler Classic mode
Use Quick Sampler Classic mode to play and loop full or partial samples. The audio file is
mapped to keys above and below the defined root key. Keys below this will play the sample
at a lower pitch and slower speed. Keys above this will play the sample at a higher pitch
and faster speed.
This mode is useful for a number of simple playback scenarios, including use on tracks with
Flex enabled and when using Live Loops.
Quick Sampler Classic mode parameters
• Start and end markers: Drag the blue start and end markers to set the sample start and
end points. Playback occurs between these markers. Hold Option, then drag either the
start or end marker to move the entire audio section between these markers.
Tip: You can double-click on any marker handle to permanently display parameter
values below the waveform display. Click the “X” icon at the left of the parameter
display bar to revert to the default behavior and parameter view.
• Loop start and end markers: Drag the yellow loop start and end markers to set loop
boundaries. Playback begins from the start marker position and cycles between the
loop start and end markers while you hold a key. Drag the yellow shaded area between
the loop start and end markers to move the entire loop. Alternatively, hold Option, then
drag either the loop start or end marker to move the entire loop.
• Fade in and fade out markers: Drag the gray fade in or fade out marker to adjust the
length of the fade at the beginning and end of the audio file segment between the start
and end markers. Hold Option, then drag either fade marker to move both fade markers.
