The Sample Editor
General functions
Ö Several of these options are also available on the Sample Editor context menu.
Editing selection ranges
Selections in the Sample Editor can be processed in several ways.
If you attempt to edit an event that is a shared copy (i. e. the event refers to a clip that
is used by other events in the project), you are asked whether you want to create a
new version of the clip.
• Select “New Version” if you want the editing to affect the selected event only.
Select “Continue” if you want the editing to affect all shared copies.
Ö If you activate the “Please, don’t ask again” option in the dialog, any further editing will
conform to the selected method (“Continue” or “New Version”). You can change this
setting at any time with the “On Processing Shared Clips” pop-up menu in the
Preferences dialog (Editing–Audio page).
• Any changes to the clip are shown in the Offline Process History, making it
possible to undo them later (see
“The Offline Process History dialog” on page
315).
Select Event Selects only the audio that is included in the edited event. This is
grayed out if you have opened the Sample Editor from the Pool (in
which case the whole clip is opened for editing, not an event).
Cubase only: If the VariAudio tab is open and your audio file is split
into separate segments (see
“Segments mode” on page 356), all
segments that start or end within the event boundaries are
selected.
Locators to
Selection
(Range tab only)
Sets the locators to encompass the current selection. This is
available if you have selected one or several events or made a
selection range.
Locate Selection
(Range tab only)
Moves the project cursor to the beginning or end of the current
selection. For this to be available, you must have selected one or
more events or parts, or made a selection range.
Loop Selection
(Range tab only)
This activates playback from the start of the current selection and
keeps starting over again when reaching the selection end.
From Start to Cursor
(Edit menu only)
Selects all audio between the clip start and the project cursor.
From Cursor to End
(Edit menu only)
Selects all audio between the project cursor and the end of the clip.
For this to work, the project cursor must be within the clip
boundaries.
Equal Pitch -
all Octaves/same
Octave
(Cubase only)
This function requires that the audio event has been analyzed using
the VariAudio features and that one or several notes are selected.
These options select all notes of this event that have the same pitch
as the currently selected note(s) (in any octave or in the current
octave).
Left Selection
Side to Cursor
(Edit menu only)
Moves the left side of the current selection range to the project
cursor position. For this to work, the cursor must be within the clip
boundaries. This function is not available for VariAudio segments.
Right Selection
Side to Cursor
(Edit menu only)
Moves the right side of the current selection range to the project
cursor position (or the end of the clip, if the cursor is to the right of
the clip). This function is not available for VariAudio segments.
