Hi
When using a long sample within a drum deck, how can I set the sample position easily? Currently it just sets it from the start, but if I want to get a section of the sample from the end, I have to continually drag the start marker, trigger the sample so the UI moves over a bit, then drag again, play, repeat many times until I get to the end of the sample.
I am trying to use the "Meal ticket shaker" sample from the "Decab" pack and the shaker doesn't play until kind far in so getting to the start of the sample is hard. Then, once at the start I don't have any way to set the end marker which defaults to the end of the sample. I'd like to be able to scrub through the sample like you can in the regular sample view, and I'd like to be able to right click to set the start and end markers.
Thanks

Hi Oli,
Yeah I see what the problem is here - it would be nice to be able to drag the wave form along like you can on the Sample deck in order to set a cue point. I'll log a feature request.
You can zoom in and out using scroll wheel (or +/- on keyboard) but that's still a walk around.
Out of interest, is there a reason you want the long sample on the drum deck rather than on a sample deck? The Drum Deck is designed to prioritise short samples whereas the Sample Deck is more for longer samples.

I’ll try that zoom trick and see how that works.
The reason I want to use a drum deck is it’s let if a percussion deck I have and I want to group all the percussion samples together.
