fast scrubbing is set to 1.0, i.e. the original speed. Change the value for slow playback in
the "Speed" field.
Absolute: This mode allows the absolute position of the mouse in the window to control
the speed.
"Global playback device" specifies the sound card driver for playback.
Varispeed/Scrub settings
In this dialog window you can easily carry out tempo changes for the playback of virtual
projects.
Sample rate: Here you can see the preset project sample rate. If you wish to change this
value, a request window will appear in which you can adapt all audio objects to the new
sample rate if so desired. Adaptation can also happen by moving or resampling the audio
material. MIDI objects can also be adapted to the new sample rate. These too may be
moved, but the musical position will remain the same.
Autoscroll /Scrubbing: See "Playback parameters".
With "Stop at current position" the play cursor stays at the current position when the
"Stop" button is pressed and doesn't jump back to the original position.
With "Device" you can specify the driver of the sound card which you wish to use for
playback.
Active: Checking this box activates "Varispeed" mode.
Vertical fader: Using this fader you can control the playback speed (-200% to +200%).
Pitch: After double-clicking into this field, you'll be able to enter the speed factor directly,
for example, 0.5 for half speed.
Half tones: Here you can enter the pitch changes in half tones. A value of -12 plays the
project an octave lower at half the speed.
Internal rate: Here you can specify the sample rate for the varispeed calculation. A value of
22050 plays the project an octave lower at half the speed.
BPM Orig: Here you can see the original speed in BPM. This value can also be edited.
BPM Out: Here you can enter the target speed in BPM. Samplitude calculates the
varispeed pitch factor from the quotient from the target to the original tempo.
Playback mode
Loop mode
In this mode selected ranges will be played in a loop. This corresponds to switching on the
"Loop" button in the transport control.
