By setting the sample start and end, you can define what range of the sample is played back

when you press a key on your MIDI keyboard.

Setting up Loops for Audio Samples

You can set up a loop that is played back when the sample is triggered.

The Sustain Loop Start/End handles and the green loop range overlay are shown.

2. Drag the Set Sustain Loop Start/End handles to adjust the loop start and end points.

To create a smooth loop transition, try to match the shape of the green loop range overlay

with the shape of the gray sample waveform.
