There may be considerable differences in volume levels of WAV files

If you are on the WAV Load and Record screen, touch
Load
in the top menu bar.
If you are on the Waveform screen, touch the name of the WAV file at the top of

From the WAV file selection screen, use the control knobs to scroll through the
list of files. Blackbox displays the directories at the top of the list followed by the
individual files in alphabetical order. The selected file or directory name has a
blue highlight. Touch

to preview the highlighted file. The
Play
button will
turn blue to show that auto-preview is enabled. Blackbox will play each WAV file
once when you pause on it while scrolling. If you have a sequence or a MIDI
input trigger playing for this pad, blackbox will play the selected WAV file
whenever a trigger is received for this pad. Touch the
Play
button again to
disable auto-preview mode. Touch
Load
to assign the selected WAV file to this
pad. When looking at the list of files, list items that start with a slash \ are
directories. Load a directory to see its contents. The file path is displayed above
the list of files (e.g.
SoundtrackLoops\SL Bass Mu
in the example above.) Touch
the caret
^
to navigate back up the directory tree. Touch the back arrow to go
back to the previous screen.
To View Wave with Start, End, Loop and Slice Points:
Once you have loaded a WAV file, you will be on the Waveform
screen. There are a number of important features on the Waveform
screen. The grid icon at the top left of the screen, immediately below
the clock counter, provides a graphical representation of which pad
in the grid you are configuring. You can touch it to bring up a pad
selection grid. Touch a square in the grid to change which pad you
are working with. The icon just to the right of that is a button that
allows you to select the Pad Mode. The text in the top bar displays the first characters of
the name of the loaded WAV file, and can be touched to choose a different file. Trigger
playback by touching the arrow button on the right.
There are two views of the waveform displayed on the screen. The top view always
displays the full waveform in white with a blue rectangular outline indicating the
subsection of the waveform that is displayed in the bottom, bigger waveform. You can
use pinch and stretch touchscreen gestures to zoom in and out of the waveform, then
