3rd Wave User Manual
Editing Samples
allows very short samples to continue to play for as long as the
release section lasts even if the sample itself is short.
3. When looping is on, red lines indicate the loop start and end points. To
adjust these, use soft knob 3 (loop start) and soft knob 4 (loop end).
4. To edit the crossfade between the beginning and end of the loop, press
soft button 3 (crossfade).
5. Use soft knob 2 to choose the crossfade type.
The options are:
• equal volume. This option is well suited to material that is phase
coherent — in other words, where the sound at the beginning and
the end of the loop are similar in volume and waveshape. This
option creates a linear crossfade that helps keep the overall volume
constant during the crossfade.
• equal power. This option is well suited to material that is not
phase coherent — in other words, where the sound at the begin-
ning and the end of the loop are very different in volume and
waveshape. This option creates a sinusoidal crossfade that is -3
dB in the middle of the fade. This helps keep the overall volume
constant during the crossfade.
• off. This option turns off crossfading. With crossfading off, you
will hear an audible click when the loop occurs unless the audio is
perfectly correlated and volume matched at the two loop points.
6. Use soft knob 2 to choose the crossfade length. Length is shown in
milliseconds. The crossfade length can extend up to the full length of
the loop.
7. To audition the loop, play the 3rd Wave keyboard.
8. To adjust the loop start and loop end points, Press soft button 1 to
return to the sample edit screen.
9. The red lines at the beginning and end of the sample indicate the loop
start and loop end point.
10. Use soft knob 3 to adjust the loop start point.
11. Use soft knob 4 to adjust the loop end point.
12. To audition the loop, play the 3rd Wave keyboard. (Make sure you are
using a program that uses the current sample and are playing in a range
where the current sample is active.)
