Panel reference
The Sample section
Here is where you load/sample and configure the audio that should serve as the base for the granular synthesis.
Loading/sampling
D Load a sample using drag & and drop, or by clicking the Browse sample button, or by using the Up/Down but-
tons to scroll and load a sample from the currently selected folder.
D Alternatively, sample straight into Grain by clicking the Start sampling button.
See the “Sampling” chapter for more information about setting up and using Reason for sampling.
D Click the Edit Sample button to open up the existing sample in the Sample Edit window.
See “Editing samples” for more information about editing samples in Reason.
! It’s possible to load/sample stereo signals. However, the waveform will always be displayed as a mono signal,
regardless if it’s mono or stereo.
Setting the sample range
First you could decide how much of the original sample you want to use - and where in the sample you want to work:
D Zoom and/or scroll in the Sample Overview to define the Sample range you want to work in.
To scroll, click and drag between the orange sample range markers. To zoom, click and drag any of the sample
range markers sideways. The set Sample range is automatically updated and displayed in the waveform display.
D To work in the entire Sample range, drag the left Sample range marker all the way to the left, and the right
Sample range marker all the way to the right, in the Sample Overview.
q It’s possible to automate the sample range settings, see “Automating sample playback parameters from the
sequencer”.
