• If you drag and move the Start/End marker up into the Slice Marker area above the waveform, the Start/End
marker will snap to the closest slices. This works in all modes, not just in Slice Mode:
D Alternatively, double click in the Waveform Display to position the Start marker. Hold down [Shift] and double
click to position the End marker.
Previewing samples
D Preview the sample by holding down [Option]/[Alt] and clicking at the desired position in the Waveform Dis-
play.
The sample will play back for as long as the mouse button is depressed.
q It’s possible to automate the sample start and end settings, see “Automating the sample Start and End mark-
ers”.
Loop and Loop Length
It’s also possible to loop (Forward Loop) samples - or slices in Slice Mode. The loop always happens at the end of the
sample/slice. In all modes except for Slice Mode the Loop Length is visually indicated with a transparent red region
in the Waveform Display, so you can see exactly where the loop is.
D Enable Loop by clicking the Loop LED.
D Adjust the Loop Length by turning the Length knob, or by holding down [Command]/[Ctrl] and clicking/drag-
ging sideways in the waveform display:
If you are playing back the sample reversed (see “Reverse”) the looped region originates from the Start Marker in-
stead and is displayed in transparent blue.
! In Slice Mode the looped region is not indicated visually in the Waveform Display.
