1.4.8 Content Editor

The Content Editor in Amped Studio is a powerful tool that allows you to finely edit and manipulate regions and notes in your project.

Audio Editor: If you are working with an audio region, the Content Editor allows you to view and edit the waveform of the audio. You can cut, copy, paste, and move parts of the waveform, as well as apply various effects and processing.

MIDI Editor: If you are working with a MIDI region, the Content Editor allows you to view and edit MIDI notes on a piano roll. You can add, delete, and move notes, as well as adjust their duration and velocity.

Drum Editor: If you are working with drums in the Drumpler instrument, the Content Editor allows you to view and edit the drum pattern. You can add, delete, and edit different drum sounds to achieve the desired sound of the loop.

1.4.9 Device Chain

The Device Chain in Amped Studio is a series of effects applied to an audio or MIDI track. It can include reverb, echo, distortion, filters, and much more. Each device in the chain processes the sound and passes it on to the next device in the chain, allowing you to manipulate sound in complex and creative ways. You can add, delete, and reorder devices in the chain to achieve the desired sound.

1.4.10 Master Track

The Master Track is a special track in your project that controls the overall output signal. All audio from other tracks in your project ultimately passes through the master track before it is played back or exported.
