Step Envelope Editing
The Sample Editor contains a Step Envelopes section. With step envelopes you can
manipulate different parameters of your audio loops (such as level, pitch, or pan),
producing versatile variations of an audio loop.
Working with step envelopes includes two major workflows:
- Defining steps (audio segments) for your audio loop, and adjusting them
according to your needs.
- Adding and editing the step envelopes themselves.
You can edit different types of envelopes, that is, value sequences with one value per
step. Sequel offers the following envelope types: Level, Pan, Pitch, Decay, and
Reverse, see
“Adding and Editing Step Envelopes” on page 106.
Ö
Step envelopes only apply to the selected event. If you want to have several copies of
an audio loop with the same step envelopes, first create step envelopes for one event
and copy this event afterwards.
