The toolbar
The toolbar contains various tools for selecting, manipulating and playing back
audio, as well as options that affect the appearance and behavior of the Sample
Editor.
In the Musical Information section at the right of the toolbar, the estimated length of
your audio file is displayed in bars and beats (PPQ) together with the estimated
tempo and the time signature. These values are important for using Musical Mode.
The Algorithm pop-up menu allows you to select an algorithm for the realtime time
stretching.
• You can customize the toolbar by right-clicking it and using the context menu
to hide or show items.
Show Audio Event
When the “Show Audio Event” button is activated on the toolbar, the section
corresponding to the edited event is highlighted in the waveform display and
the Overview. The sections of the audio clip not belonging to the event are
shown with a gray background.
• You can adjust the start and end of the event in the clip by dragging the
event handles in the waveform display.
IMPORTANT
This button is only available if you have opened the Sample Editor by
double-clicking an audio event in the Project window or the Audio Part Editor.
It is not available if you have opened the audio event from the Pool.
