Logic Pro Quick Sampler waveform display
You can see the current audio file in the waveform display and directly edit a number of
sample playback parameters. If you are using a trackpad, you can zoom in or out with pinch
gestures, or scroll using two-finger swipes or by dragging the scroll bar. If you are using
a Magic Mouse, use a single-finger horizontal swipe to scroll, and a single-finger vertical
swipe to zoom.
As you move the pointer across the waveform display, it changes in appearance and
function. For example, the pointer will change to indicate that you can move a slice marker
or fade marker. In addition, parameters and values related to the current pointer tool
function are shown below the waveform display. Click or drag markers and handles in the
waveform display to change values.
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.
Note: Some editing features are available only in certain modes.
