Parameter Section

Curve
Allows you to create a linear curve, an equal power curve, or anything in between
for the crossfade.
Tuning
Sets the tuning of the loop. This is useful to adjust the frequency of the loop.
Slice Tab
The parameter section contains different parameters, depending on whether slices have
been created or not.
If no slices have been created, the following parameters are available:
Slice Detection Mode
The slice detection automatically sets slice markers in the waveform.
• Transient mode allows you to set the minimum peak level that a transient
needs to become a slice marker.
• Grid mode sets the slice markers according to a beat grid.
• Transient + Grid detects slices that match both conditions.
• Manual mode deactivates automatic slice detection. In this mode, you can
only set slice markers manually.
NOTE
You can always add slice markers manually by Alt-clicking in the waveform.
Threshold
Determines the minimum level that a transient must have to be detected as start
of a new slice.
Sensitivity
The transient detection evaluates all transients and classifies them according to
their quality. The Sensitivity control allows you to define the quality that must be
matched before a slice marker can be set.
Min Length
Determines the minimum length of a slice. Use this parameter to avoid creating
slices that are too short.
Grid Catch
In Transient+Grid mode, you can use this control to specify how close to the grid
a transient marker must be.
