Loop/Slice Fader Mode
In Loop/Slice mode the sound can be truncated and/or looped. The start or end point of sound
can be changed, and a loop point set. This mode shows eight slices/loops at a glance and is
sufficient for coarse editing. The waveform editor is more precise.
When looping is on, the sound plays once from the start point to the end point, then plays
repeatedly from the loop point to the end point. When assigning a sound to a track, the S2400
reads the loop point data from the WAV file. It reads the "smpl" data chunk, which is different
from cue or marker points. If a loop point exists in the file, the S2400 automatically enables
looping, sets the loop point, sets the loop time to 2 seconds, and turns on gate mode.
With Classic envelopes, the loop time is determined by the fixed sustain and release time of the
Classic envelopes. Setting the Classic envelope to maximum makes the loop continue forever,
until it is stopped. It can be stopped by pressing Shift+Back, by being choked by another sound
playing on the same choke group, or, if it is in a pattern, when the pattern is stopped.
With HiFi envelopes, the loop time is set explicitly. Press Shift+A for the Loop/Slice settings, and
set the loop time in seconds and milliseconds. For an exact number of repetitions, set the loop
reps, which will calculate the exact loop time. Setting the loop time to an exact number of
repetitions is handy for making flams, slap-back echo, and other effects.
Fader: Change start position.
Top Knob: Change end position.
Bottom Knob: Change loop position.
B Button: Switch to Waveform Editor mode.
Shfit+B: Turn on looping. Looping is indicated by a line connecting the right side of the loop and
end points. Only samples that fit in the 2MB playback buffer can be looped. See the Memory
Usage section for more details.
