CHP. 15 LOOPING

Creating a sustaining loop with a release loop
To add a release loop to the sustaining loop created in the previous procedure, you must reconfigure the
dialog and rearrange the loop tags in the data window.
Configuring the dialog
1.
Right-click either of the loop tags and chose Edit from the shortcut menu. The Edit Sample dialog
appears.
2.
In the Edit Sample dialog, select the Sustaining with Release radio button.
3.
Verify that the Release radio button is selected in the Loop to edit area of the dialog.
4.
Select the Loop count radio button. The edit box is activated.
5.
Enter a value of 5 in the Loop count box and click OK. Both loops (sustaining and release) are configured.
Arranging the loop tags
Once the dialog is properly configured to support a release loop, release loop tags are created in the data
window beneath the sustaining loop tags. The sustaining and release loops temporarily contain identical
data.
1.
Drag the sustaining loop end tag toward the left side of the data window to reveal the release loop end tag.
2.
Drag the sustaining loop start tag toward the right side of the data window. This reveals the release loop
start tag.
3.
Arrange the loop tags so that the snare hit is contained within the sustaining loop and the cymbal crash is
contained within the release loop.
4.
Click the Play as Sample button ( ) in the playbar. The entire file plays with the snare hit repeated ten
times followed by the cymbal crash five times.
