Sample Track: Edit samples using AFP.

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Good. I think the title is very clear, the idea of ​​editing the Sample Track using Audio File Processor would be combining both tools, giving us the ability to edit the tco of the ST audio wave in real time using the AFP parameters. (I think I've seen that in fl studio) this would not replace the current way of using the samples, but would give us another option to edit the Sample Track using AFP.
But before telling me that: '' AFP is an instrument ''. I would like to give my humble opinion. We have several editors: Piano Roll, BB Editor, etc, but to work with audio we still do not have an editor dedicated to it. AFP is the closest thing to '' edit '' audio; but there are some problems like:

- **Play samples using Piano Roll or BB Editor.**
This is useful for small samples such as kick, snare, etc; while for large samples such as voices and songs it is an annoyance, because you have to guess the wavelength and create a note so long to play it whole.

- **You can not play in any position. (similar to #2596).**
When the playhead plays the note it starts to play, but you can not skip or play it from any other position.

- **The samples only last one second in BB Editor.**
In addition to not having a visual reference of the wave of the sample, it only lasts a second playing and stops.

None of these problems have them Sample Track and although I have had many corrections, it still does not happen to be a simple player with a chain of effects. I have seen that they have outstanding improvements #1471, and that they are going to add the recording #4531. and this is great!!

Although this recording feature is very useful. Sometimes it is necessary to edit the recorded audio but then you would have to export the recorded audio and import it as shown in AFP and then edit it. This can affect the workflow.

Although AFP is an instrument and not an editor in itself, but it has basic characteristics that SP needs. then I ask myself: why not use the resources that are already there, and instead of developing new gui (buttons, menus, windows, etc) because it is not better to combine the characteristics of AFP with SP, if AFP is anyway a sample processor ? How long would it take to implement the even more basic features outlined in # 1471? I am not a developer and I know that this would take much longer than combining AFP and SP. this would not replace the current way of using samples, but would give us another option to edit the Sample Track using AFP. This provides us with features such as: Amplify, trim, revert, loop, add to the mixer, add effects, change the pitch, do zoon, add filter, lfo, envelope, etc.

Start by reviewing the Sample Track and Audio File Processor (AFP) components, then read related issues #2596, #1471, and #4531 to understand existing playback, editing, and recording plans. The request would be complete when Sample Track audio can use AFP-style editing and playback without requiring an export and re-import workflow.
