Pitch is modulated in an additive way. The output of the transposition envelope is simply
added to the Transpose control's value. The result of the modulation is clipped to stay in
the available range (-48..48 semitones in this case).
19.2.3 Muting or Attenuating Notes in a Sample
Click on the Volume quick-chooser to access an audio clip's volume envelope. By drawing
steps in Draw Mode or creating shapes with breakpoints, you can impose an arbitrary volume
shape onto the sample.
Imposing a Volume
Envelope on a Sample.
The volume envelope's output is interpreted as a relative percentage of the clip volume
slider's current value. The result of the clip envelope's modulation can therefore never
exceed the absolute volume setting, but the clip envelope can drag the audible volume
down to silence.
19.2.4 Scrambling Beats
One very creative use of clip envelopes is to modulate the sample offset. Sample offset
modulation makes the most sense for rhythmical samples, and is only available for clips that
are set up to run in the Beats Warp Mode.
