Tools
The Tools provide direct access to spectral transforms, selections, modifications, drawings,
measurements, and navigation.
They are meant to be used in the Spectral Display. See User Interface.
Some tools are grouped at the same location. When multiple tools are available, a small
triangle appears in the bottom right corner of the tool icons. Long-click or right-click these
icons to reveal the other tools.
Some of these tools depends on the FFT Size parameter, see The Importance of FFT Size for
more information.
Transform Tools
Move and scale selections, data and layers.
Transform
Moves and scales selections and data from the active layer if a selection exists, otherwise
moves and scales the data from entire active layer.
When manipulating spectral data, scaling vertically translates directly to pitch modification,
and scaling horizontally to time-stretching. It’s a visual approach to time-streching and pitch-
shifting, similar to resizing an image in a picture editing application.
Auto-Activate Layer: Activate the layer under the mouse cursor when clicked.
[ Duplicate ]: When pressed, clicking and dragging will duplicate the current selection or
layer. After the copy the button will return to its initial, non-pressed state. Equivalent to
pressing Alt before clicking and dragging.
Time Shifting: Time shifting applied to the current selection or layer, in seconds.
Time Stretching: Time stretching applied to the current selection or layer, in percents.
Stretch and pitch proportionally: When pressed, time and pitch will scale proportionally:
time-stretching by 200% will pitch-shift by 50%, as if you were slowing down a record for
instance, where the pitch gets lower when time is slowed down.
