• Make sure that the playback range is as long as the extended
sample - 8 bars in our example. To do so, click above and to the
right in the timeline and drag out the playback range to match the
length of the looped object.
• Now press the play button (space bar is faster). The drum sample
will loop for 8 bars. This means that the playback cursor starts right
at the front, moves across the playback range, and then transfers to
the start again once the end is reached without any interruptions.
You can also move the playback marker independent of the
playback range by clicking on the lower section of the timeline.
Note: All additional loops can be previewed during playback and
inserted. This lets you preview new potentially interesting samples for
your arrangement to test if they work. If continuous playback gets on
your nerves after a while, then you can always interrupt it by pressing
the space bar again.
• Next, try loading a suitable bass line. Open up the bass folder, test
some of the bass samples there, and then drag a bass loop you like
onto the second arranger track
Note: Melody producing instruments are arranged by pitch, i.e. every
sample features multiple variations which provide different levels of
pitch. By combining different variations of a pitch, you can produce
chords.
