Quick Sampler waveform display in Logic Pro for iPad
You can see the current audio file in the waveform display and directly edit a number of sample playback parameters. You can zoom in or out with pinch gestures, or scroll using swipes or by dragging the scroll bar. You can change the height of the waveform display with the resize handle.
When you tap or drag markers and handles in the waveform display, parameters and values related to the current action are shown below the waveform display. Tap in the parameter display bar to revert to the default behavior and parameter view.
Note: Some editing features are available only in certain modes.
