04.12 The Sample Window
The Sample Window shows the waveform of the sample loaded. You can span up loops using the mouse. If no loop has been spanned up yet, click into the sample window to define the loop point (at:). Click the cursor now visible and keep the mouse button pressed to span up the loop by moving the mouse leftwards. Once you release the mouse button, the new loop data is being transferred to the Akai. A spanned up loop can still be modified by dragging its right (loop point) or left (loop length) locator.
Press [Esc] in order to deselect the loop spanned up or choose the
corresponding menu item from the Edit menu.
You can zoom in and out the sample and scroll through it from start to finish. Use the corresponding menu items in the View menu or [Num +] and [Num -] to do so. As the loop usually is demagnified, the diminuition factor is displayed in the window title (actually the number of sample frames per pixel).
NEW:
I reprogrammed zooming so the diminuition factor is always exponents of 2 instead of weird floating point values. This leads to a greyed out area behind the actual sample I call the Dead Zone. It really is dead, there's no point in clicking into it!
There is an alternative view displayed in the sample window, which is more precise but the downside of the view being the time it takes until the waveform is completely displayed.
You can make the selected loop span up the entire sample by choosing "Select All" from the Edit menu or pressing [Ctrl]+[A]. Given a certain Loop Point (at) you can max out the loop length by choosing "Max Out Loop Length" from the menu or by pressing [Ctrl]+[M]. "Find Equal Amplitude" or [F] is at an experimental phase and resembles the FIND function in the LOOP editor of the S3000XL.
