4. Click the Envelope button, or select “Envelope” from the View
menu.
The Envelope panel appears below the main toolbar. Envelope allows you to
adjust three parameters; Attack, Decay and Stretch (see the chapter “Pro-
cessing Audio” for a full description of the Envelope parameters). This par-
ticular file was saved with non-default Attack and Decay parameter settings,
which means that the Envelope effect is already turned on. This is indicated
by the darkened and lit On/Off button (the leftmost button on the panel).
5. Turn the “Stretch” knob fully to the left (0%).
6. Now lower the tempo of the loop down to about 70 bpm and start
playback.
As you can hear, at this tempo the slices sound “chopped off”, with a dis-
cernible gap of silence between each slice.
7. While still in playback, gradually turn the Stretch knob clockwise
until it is set to about 45%.
Like magic, the tail (end) portion of each slice is lengthened so that the gaps
disappear. The Stretch function actually generates sound. It analyzes the ex-
isting tail of each slice, and then lengthens it. This feature is used if you wish
to lower the tempo of a loop.

There are two other effect processors which can be applied in Pre-
view mode, “Transient Shaper” (compressor) and “Equalizer”.
These are described in the “Processing Audio” chapter.
! For all Preview settings, the principle “what you hear is what you
get” applies to the resulting saved or exported file or when trans-
mitted to your sampler!
