Processing selections
1.
Select the samples you want to process. If no samples are selected, processing will be applied to all samples.
2.
Choose a command from the Process , Effects , or FX Favorites menu.
3.
Choose a preset from the Preset drop-down list or adjust the dialog controls as needed.
For more information, see Applying presets on page 171 .
Note:
Plug-ins that can change the length of audio data (such as reverb or delay) will use Insert Tail Data mode. Tails will be added to
the waveform, and audio to the right of the tail will be moved to accommodate the extra audio.
4.
Click the Preview button to hear the effects of your processing settings. Select the Bypass check box to hear the unprocessed
signal.
5.
Click the OK button to start processing.
During processing, a progress meter is displayed at the bottom of the data window. You can cancel the operation at any time by
clicking the
Cancel button to the left of the progress meter, or you can press the Escape key.
Note:
When applying an effect to a file via scripting, you can only specify the current time/channel-selection (DoMenu) or a new time/
channel-selection (DoEffect). Event selection is not exposed to scripts.
When processing musical instrument files, all events in the time/channel selection will be processed. If no selection exists or the entire
file is selected (as when using the Batch Converter), all events will be processed.
Editing samples
In addition to applying processing and effects, you can also edit the samples in an instrument file.
For example, if you need to remove a glitch or replace a sample in an instrument file, you can open an individual sample in a new editing
window.
1.
Select the sample you want to edit.
2.
From the Edit menu, choose Event , and then choose Edit from the submenu.
The selected sample is opened in a new window. If you selected multiple samples in step 1, each sample is opened in a separate
window.
Tip:
Press E (or right-click a sample and choose Edit from the shortcut menu) to open the edit window quickly.
3.
Perform edits as needed.
Notes:
• If you want to replace sample data, you can clear the data in the edit window and paste data from another window.
• Changes to bit depth, sample rate, or number of channels cannot be saved back to the original musical instrument file.
4.
From the File menu, choose Save to close the edit window and save your changes back to the musical instrument file.
If you want to save the edited sample to a different format (other than a musical instrument file), you can use Save As .
Saving changes
After you’re finished processing a musical instrument file, you can use the Save or Save As commands to save your changes to the
original file or to a new file.
For more information, see Saving a file on page 66 and Using the Save As/Render As dialog on page 66 .
Musical instrument files must be saved to the original format.
