7.2.4. Waveform Window
The waveform window allows to perform some very important edits to the samples. Some
of these are reflected in the editing fields below, but the handlers present in this window will
make things easier.
We can zoom-in and zoom-out the waveform display by placing the mouse in the top line
of the window (where is displayed the timeline). When the mouse pointer changes to a
hand, we can then click-and-drag the mouse up and down. Dragging down will zoom in the
waveform. Dragging up will zoom out.
Double clicking over the timeline will restore the original viewing (full zoom out).
The waveform window has four handlers (a vertical segment with an arrow at one point).
The handlers with the arrow in the upper part of the segment adjust the start and end
sample points, while the segments with the arrows in the lower part adjust the loop start
and loop end points.
7.2.4.1. Sample Start Handler
By default, this handler is positioned at the extreme left of the sample (beginning of the
sample). Dragging this handler will start playing the sample at the point the handler is
located, instead of the beginning of the sample.
This may be helpful for fine-tuning the start point if the sample has a noisy start, for
example, or to get rid of a percussive attack if we want to use just the body of the sample
for a sustained preset sound.
Moving this will make changes to the Start field below and vice-versa (each editing control
mirrors the other).
7.2.4.2. Sample End Handler
Similar to the above, but this time the change is applied to the end of the sample. By default,
the handler is placed at the extreme right of the sample (sample end).
Like what happens with the Sample Start Handler, moving this handler will also make
changes in the End field below and vice-versa.
Waveform Editing window. Notice the Sample Start handler positioned at
0.094, the Loop Start handler positioned at 0.202, and the Loop End
handler positioned at 0.901. The values are displayed in the respective
fields below
