The Sample Editor
The Hitpoints tab
In this tab, the transients, i.e. hitpoints of the audio can be
marked.
Adjust the sensitivity slider to determine how many hit-
points should be shown, and edit them with the Edit Hit-
points tool, if necessary. If you want to clear all hitpoints,
e.g. to re-detect hitpoints, click the Remove All button.
Click the Slice & Close button, if you want to slice your
audio to quantize the rhythm of the different slices sepa-
rately (see “Creating slices” on page 257).
Click the Make Groove button, if you want to create an au-
dio groove for quantizing other material to the groove of
your audio (see “Creating groove quantize maps” on page
257).
Click the Create Markers button, if you want to create mark-
ers for the hitpoints (see “Create Markers” on page 258).
Use the Create Regions button, if you want to create re-
gions, e.g. for further use in a sampler (see “Create Regi-
ons” on page 258).
Use the Create Events button, if you wish to create sepa-
rate events according to the hitpoints for a file (see “Create
Events” on page 258).
Before you can use the Make Groove and the Slice & Close
buttons, the tempo and the time signature of the audio must
be defined. If this is not the case, a window will be shown in
which you can enter the original tempo of the audio file.
The Range tab
In this tab you will find some utility functions for working
with ranges and selections (see “Making selections” on
page 242).
The Process tab
This tab regroups the most important audio editing com-
mands from the Audio and the Edit menus. For further in-
formation on the Select Process and Select Plug-in pop-
up menus, see the chapter “Audio processing and func-
tions” on page 216.
The thumbnail display
The thumbnail display provides an overview of the whole
clip. The section currently shown in the main waveform
display of the Sample Editor is indicated by a blue rectan-
gle in the thumbnail, while the current selection range is
shown in blue.
• You can move the blue rectangle in the thumbnail to
view other sections of the clip.
Click in the lower half of the rectangle and drag to the left or right to
move it.
• You can resize the blue rectangle (by dragging its left or
right edge) to zoom in or out, horizontally.
• You can define a new viewing area by clicking in the up-
per half of the overview and dragging a rectangle with the
mouse.
!
Hitpoints will only be displayed in the waveform, if
this tab is open.
