CUT range fill 0 fr b / f fill
The contents of the clipboard are pasted to fill the
range, but every second copy of the clipboard is pasted
in reverse (first a reverse version of the clipboard must
be created. This may be used to smooth out fills which
“bump” at the ends.
The Fill Command
1. The fill command is designed to use with atmospheres and buzz tracks. A section of audio may be used over
and over, similar to “looping”. Fill now works on multiple tracks at the same time.
2. The fill command uses the same sync point that is normally placed in the clipboard (at the point where you cut
or copied to it) and places it at the position of the cursor when you press the fill Soft Key. This helps to avoid
having the same sound at the beginning of every filled section. Simply pressing the fill key at the end of the
range (where you just typed the To key) will ensure a random offset of the beginning of the sound, since in
general all ranges will be of different lengths.
3. It is advisable to use the longest piece you can find filling. It always sounds less “looped”, and causes fewer
disk seeks.
