"normalizing" sample loop points

Hi folks,

I'm not up to speed on the correct terminology, but here's the deal...

I have a hw synth (Kurzweil K2661) and I need to sample one of its sounds so I can create a multi-layered setup. It's a long story, so I'll get to the point.

I used Sonar to sample a clip from my synth and am trying to find a natural looping point. There are LFO effects on the clip which make this a challenge as there are no 2 points with close enough high/low shelf + LFO phase points to loop on without hearing a subtle bump at the loop point. I've been able to get close, but it is still noticeable.

Is there some secret (not Sonar, but a DSP technique) that can add something like an envelope to the beginning or end of the sample that will normalize the loop point? Or another term might be morphing?

I don't need tempo, pitch & that stuff, just a seamless as possible loop point to sample back into my synth.

Can SM do something like this? The sample is .WAV format.

Thanks, - Doug

Aloha! Welcome back 8D If you send me the clip, I can crossfade it in Sony Acid. I can try anyway. hmm

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
