9.2 Time-Warping Samples
Live's ability to play any sample in sync with a chosen tempo is a unique and important
feature. In addition, you can warp the rhythmic ow of a piece, changing its feel, or
even move notes to other meter positions.
Think of a sample as a rubber-band that you want to pin to a (musical time) ruler. In Live,
the pins are called Warp Markers. A Warp Marker forces the software to arrive at a specic
point in the sample at a specic musical time. You can use any number of Warp Markers to
create an arbitrary mapping of the piece's inherent rhythm to a musical meter.
Warp Markers are set in the Clip View's Sample Display by double-clicking any of the gray
grid markers. They can then be dragged or moved with the arrow keys to different positions
in the clip. Warp Markers are deleted with the keyboard's Backspace or Delete key.

When working with your sample, you can have Live scroll the Sample Display to follow
playback. Use the Control Bar's Follow switch to activate this feature. It also might be
helpful to vertically resize the Sample Display by dragging on the split line between the Clip
View and the Session View track area.
