lenghtening a sample		 Reply with quote
I had absolutely no experience with any kind of music composition- synth or otherwise, and have just taken my first steps today when downloading MadTracker. I am sure that this question is of highest noob status, but a quick search revealed nothing.

While creating my first song, I wanted to have some longer "beeps" in my composition. I noticed a lack of any long samples in the program defaults, besides some weird effects. I wondered if perhaps this was due to that I should be lengthening the duration of the short samples, instead of finding long ones. I am unsure if to get a long sound, I lengthen a sample, or find long samples.

Any help is appreciated.

if i get it right you might be looking for looping. select the instrument which one's sample you want to loop (there might be more samples assigned to the same instrument, for more info about this check out the things here: http://www.madtracker.org/wiki/index.php/Creating_multisampled_instruments).

go to Sample menu and select Edit. there you'll see the waveform of the sample and on the top-right of the window you'll see "Loop: No loop". change no loop to Pingpong or forward. two bars appear at the beginning of the waveform, drag them to where you like (the upper one is the loop start, the bottom is the loopend).
