1. Create a time selection in a data window.

2. From the Insert menu, choose Sample Loop (or press Alt+L). A sustaining loop region is displayed in the data window, and the Play as Sample button appears on the playbar.
   

3. Right-click the sustaining loop and choose Edit Sample Loop from the shortcut menu (or press Alt+Shift+L). The Sampler Loops window appears.

4. Use the Sustain count box to indicate how many times the sustaining loop should be played. Click the value and choose Custom to type a number, or choose Infinite if you want the loop to repeat infinitely.

1. Create a time selection in a data window.

2. From the Insert menu, choose Sample Loop. A sustaining loop region is displayed in the data window, and the Play as Sample button appears on the playbar.
   

3. Right-click the sustaining loop and choose Edit Sample Loop from the shortcut menu (or press Alt+Shift+L). The Sampler Loops window appears.

4. Click the Sustain count value, choose Custom from the drop-down list, and type a number to indicate how many times the sustaining loop should be played.

5. In the Sample type box, choose Sustaining with Release. A release loop is created for the same length as the sustaining loop.
   

6. Edit the length of the release loop as needed. You can drag the release loop markers in the data window or edit the Start, End, or Length boxes in the Sampler Loops window.

7. Type a value in the Release count box to indicate how many times the release loop should be played.

8. Click the Play as Sample button in the playbar.
   The sustaining loop plays the number of times specified by its Sustain count setting, and then the release loop plays the number of times specified by its Release count setting.

1. From the View menu, choose Metadata, and then choose Sampler Loops from the submenu to display the Sampler Loops window.

2. In the MIDI unity note box, click the down arrow and choose a note and octave.
   This MIDI note will cause a sampler to play the sound file at the pitch (sample rate) it was originally recorded.

3. In the Fine tune box, type a value from 0 to 99.999 cents if you want to pitch shift the unity note up from 0 to 99.999 cents. Sound Forge Pro software does not fine-tune the sound file when fine tuning is used, and not all samplers support the setting. This option is an informational setting that will be transmitted to a sampler via a sample-transfer procedure.
   A sampler such as the K2000 can use this information to play back the sample. The K2000 should accurately display this information on Master/Sample/Misc. page as Pitch Adjust.

4. If you want to add SMPTE offset information to your sample, double-click the SMPTE offset box and type a new value.
   If you want to choose a different time format, click the down arrow in the SMPTE format column and choose a SMPTE format from the drop-down list.

   Sound Forge Pro software ignores this offset value, and not all samplers can store a SMPTE offset value in the sample.

After you've created a loop, you can edit it by moving the loop tags in a data window.

• Drag the beginning or ending tag to a new position to change the start, end, or length of a loop.

• To move a loop without changing its length, drag the bar between the loop markers:
    .

• Select a range of data, right-click a loop marker, and choose Update from Selection from the shortcut menu to move the marker tags to the beginning and end of your selection.

To edit the start, end, length, or play count for a loop, right-click the loop in the data window and choose Edit Sample Loop from the shortcut menu (or press Alt+Shift+L). The Sampler Loops window appears.
