Sample zoom and Solo?

#1

Getting a jam going on the DT, but unforunately don’t have the manual with me, but seem to be figuring out most things with knob twiddling…

However is there a ‘solo’ function for isolating sample patterns that i have overlooked?

Secondly and (more importantly) is there a Sample ‘zoom’ for just adjusting the start/end time of samples? (not the zoom when recording to cut out unwanted noise)

I sometimes import or record a longer sample, knowing that i will find a sweet spot later while the DT is running, but this would be a lot easier with an ‘‘editing zoom’’ ?

No to both I am afraid, they are popular requests though so you never know.

You can solo, I think, but currently only with a MIDI CC.

I think

Ok thanks, no zoom on the playback is a bit of a killer… :frowning:

Bit of a gross workaround but you could always get close without zoom, then resample and trim it properly in the sampling window.

Good idea, but just a simple playback ‘‘zoom’’ would have worked, as I edit different start points while the tracks are playing, and the DT start point is very sensitive, so a zoom would be perfect here…

I know, but unfortunately i cant magically add features that arent there so i was just offering a workaround that does what youre asking on the current os :slight_smile:

I agree sample zoom would be a nice feature for a future os though

Didnt it get removed in an update because of problems?.

Yeah, solo was removed in an update. It used to be cc 92 or 93, can’t remember exactly.
