Re: [exs] Sample start point in sample editor , can it asigned to a midi controller ?

2003-01-09 by HELP@MusicBootCamp.com

My experience is that it plays about half of a sample, something I've been
able compensate for by adding dead air of equal length or more to the end of
the sample. Not useful for looped wave forms, but good for non-looping
samples. -Jer
