HINT: If you combine Top Fade and Bottom Fade you can create a so-called X-Fade which
allows the smooth fading between one or multiple Zones.
HINT 2: If you select one or multiple Zones, then click on the upper or lower border of the
selection and then press and hold the SHIFT Key (Mac OS X and Windows XP)
before you edit your selection vertically, you can create a X-Fade between the selected
Zones automatically. The mouse pointer will change its color from blue into white
during this process.
Solo:
If you want to hear only one or a few Zones during your work, just make your selection and switch
to the „solo“ mode. Now you will only hear the selected Zones, all others are muted.
Mute:
Works like „solo“ - just the other way round: All selected Zones get muted.
Reverse:
If activated, the selected Zone(s) get played back reversed.
Playback Mode:
Independence offers 5 different playback mode:
- sample: In this mode the sample gets played back only as long as you push and hold the key of
your keyboard. When you release the key the playback will stop. Loop markers get ignored.
- loop forward: Here loop markers are considered and the sample gets played back and looped as
long as you push and hold the key. When you release the key the playback will stop.
- loop forward/backward: An extended loop mode which causes an continuous switch between
the forward and backward play back direction of the selected Zone, referring to the loop start and
end markers.
- one shot: In this mode the sample always gets played back to the end - independent from the
moment you release the key.
- note off: This playback mode only plays the sounds when the key of your keyboard gets released.
- fg mode: The Flexible Groove mode (fg mode) is a very unique feature and gets explained
together with the “Slice Mode” in the Audio Editor.
