Sound editor

The sound editor opens when double-clicking a SOUND object.

Visualization

The sound editor has the usual horizontal rulers for zooming in/out and scrolling through the sound.

Player

The sound editor provides the usual player transport controls, which allow hearing or looping through the loaded sound file or sound buffer.

A global gain can be set from the editor.

Markers

Markers can be added, removed, or edited in the sound editor.

• Ctrl/⌘ + click to add a marker.
• Click on a marker to select it.
• Drag a selected marker to move it in the sound.
• Use the backspace key to remove a selected marker.

Markers are also be represented and edited in the internal “timeline” of the sound editor:

Labels

Sound markers can be associated to a “label”. The elements of the list of markers coming in and out of the sound’s :marker slot can actually be a list of the form (time label) (e.g. (1000 "marker-1")). The label is displayed next to the marker:

Marker labels can be edited from the sound editor:

• Use L to set the label of any selected marker.
• Use shift + L to remove the label of selected marker(s).

Note/Reminder: Markers (and labels) can also be set and accessed through the :markers slot of the SOUND box.

Collections

The SOUND editor supports integration in the COLLECTION editor, where several SOUND objects can be visualized and played.
