Sample Editing and Playback Functions
All sample editing in Sampler Control is non destructive.
Setting Sample Start and End
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.
PROCEDURE
1. Drag the Set Sample Start handle to the right to adjust the sample start point.
2. Drag the Set Sample End handle to the left to adjust the sample end point.
Setting up Loops for Audio Samples
You can set up a loop that is played back when the sample is triggered.
PROCEDURE
1. On the toolbar, click Sample Loop Mode and select a loop mode from the pop-up
menu.
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.
NOTE
You cannot drag the loop start and end points outside the defined sample range.

Setting the Root Key Manually
The Root Key shows the original pitch of the sample. Sometimes, if the sample does not
contain any root key information or if you want the sample to play at a different pitch you
must set the root key manually.
NOTE
If you load a sample that does not contain any root key information, the root key is
automatically set to C3.
To set the root key manually, do one of the following:
•
In the keyboard section of Sampler Control, click and drag the root key handle.
•
On the toolbar of Sampler Control, double-click in the Root Key field and enter the new
root key using your computer keyboard, your mouse wheel, or your MIDI keyboard.
