Loop
w/Tail
Soundfile loops when key is held; proceeds past loop point when key has
been released; final decay is processed (assuming a release time on
partial’s volume envelope). Useful for sample files that contain a final
decay stage.
One-
Shot
Loop
Soundfile loops when key is held; proceeds past loop point if key has
been released; and always plays to the end of the soundfile. This is a
useful mode for chunks of sound, such as breakbeats and the included
#beatloops.
The
Loop Start
and
Loop End
points can be set on this page and looping
information will be shown in the info pane when applicable. When looping, the
playhead
will jump from the
Loop End
time to the
Loop Start
time.
If you Arrow Right from the Loop page, you’ll get to the Trim page, with
options:
Start Time | End Time
These parameters are fairly self-explanatory. You can non-destructively trim
the start and end points of samples. Often, there’ll be a short pause at the start of
a sample before the first transient occurs and at the end of many samples there’ll
be a period when the sampled instrument is inaudible, but sufficient sample
noise remains that’s worth trimming out. You’ll see that the trimmed parts of the
sample are shown on the graphical representation as greyed-out segments.
In some cases, you might have one sample file that contains several sounds,
such as a drum breakbeat, and you can use the trim parameters to select just one
of these sounds. If you have such a sample, you can have it loaded on your
patchlist several times with different
Start
and
End Times
on each occurrence,
but Regen will hold only one copy in memory.
As you adjust the markers, you’ll notice that the unplayed region (outside of
Start Time and End Time) will be shown on the sample waveform display in a
grey colour, the played region will be green and the looped region will be yellow.
NB: The screen has enough space to show 2 seconds of sample time with accurate
resolution: if your sample is longer than 2 seconds then if you trim the start or
