Markers indicate important positions or sections in a sample. They are shown in the waveform display on the Main, Loop, and Decompose pages. You can move markers by dragging them in the graphical display.

  1. Sample Start indicates the position where playback of the sample is initiated when a zone is triggered. Any audio preceding this marker is skipped.

  2. Fade In Length indicates the end point of the fade-in. The fade-in starts at the Sample Start.

  3. Sample Start Range indicates the end of the attack phase of a sample. The range between the Sample Start and Sample Start Range markers can be used for the modulation of the sample start.

  4. Sustain Loop Start indicates the start of the sustain loop.

  5. Sustain Loop End indicates where the sustain loop ends. When this marker is reached, playback jumps back to the sustain loop start. Any audio after this marker is ignored.

  6. Release Start indicates the position at which playback starts when a note-off message is received.

    This allows for a realistic release note-off behavior without the need to use extra release samples. To avoid unwanted clicks when jumping to the release marker, you can set a crossfade time and curvature on the Loop tab in the parameter section.

  7. Release Loop Start indicates the position where the release loop starts.

  8. Release Loop End indicates the position where the release loop ends. When this marker is reached, playback jumps back to the release loop start.

  9. Fade Out Length indicates the start point of the fade-out. The fade-out ends at the Sample End.

  10. Sample End indicates the position where the sample stops playing.

Note

Loop markers are only shown in the display if the corresponding loop is set up on the Loop page.
