Quick Sampler More menu in Logic Pro for iPad
You can tap the More button 
to choose a number of sample-handling commands that differ in Classic, One Shot, and Slice modes. The More menu also contains crossfade, display, and MIDI handling options.
Functions submenu
Auto-Loop: Analyzes the audio and automatically sets a loop. You can use the command multiple times to try different automatic loops.
Auto-Loop within Loop Area: Analyzes the audio and automatically sets a loop within the area defined by the loop start and end markers. You can use the command multiple times to try shorter automatic loops.
Retune: Analyzes the audio and sets the root key and tuning value automatically.
Initialize Synth Parameters: Recalls a neutral setting for all parameters in the Pitch, Filter, Amp, Mod Matrix, and LFO panes. This provides a “clean slate” when adjusting the parameters of your instrument.
Reimport Original: Reimports the current audio with the tuning, loudness, looping, and length characteristics of the source file.
Reimport Optimized: Reimports the current audio with optimized tuning, loudness, and length characteristics of the source file. Quick Sampler automatically adds loop and crossfade markers to the waveform display for appropriate material and crops (cuts) silence at the beginning or end of the source audio, shortening the imported audio.
Re-Analyze Transients and Tempo: Re-analyzes the current audio for transient and tempo changes, following edits you have made.
Derive Tempo from Loop Length: Calculates a tempo for the audio file based on the loop length. If the Follow Tempo button doesn’t yield the desired results, use this option to recalculate a loop tempo aligned to the beat.
Crop Sample: Crops (cuts) the portion(s) of the sample outside the start and end markers.
Crop Loop: Crops (cuts) the portion(s) of the sample outside the loop start and end markers.
Create Drum Machine Designer Track: Creates a new Drum Machine Designer track that contains the current Quick Sampler audio material.
Create Sample Alchemy Track: Creates a new Sample Alchemy track that contains the current Quick Sampler audio material.
Copy MIDI Pattern: Analyzes and copies slice markers to the Clipboard. You can paste the Clipboard contents to a MIDI or instrument track as a new MIDI region. This feature is ideal for creating perfectly synchronized instrument parts and for drum replacement, Foley, and other uses.
Optimize submenu
Optimize Loop Start: Use to automatically adjust the loop start point to create a smooth loop cycle.
Optimize Loop Crossfade/End: Use to automatically set crossfade values at the point in the loop cycle where the loop end and loop start markers cross over. Loop length is not affected.
Optimize Sample Gain: Analyzes the audio and sets automatic gain values.
Other submenus
Loop Crossfade submenu: Set the crossfade gain value behavior.
Linear Crossfade: Evenly scales the amplitude for the crossfade.
Equal Power Crossfade: Applies an exponential crossfade curve that causes a volume boost of 3 dB in the middle of the crossfade range. This fades out/fades in at an equal volume level.
Display submenu: Choose Display Sample, Seconds, or Beat Units values for the time ruler in the waveform display. Choose Display Mono Sum or Stereo Channels to show a summed mono or stereo waveform view in the waveform display.
MIDI submenu: Set the MIDI Mono mode and pitch bend range.
MIDI Mono Mode pop-up menu: Choose Off, On (Common Base Channel 1), or On (Common Base Channel 16).
In either MIDI Mono mode, each voice receives on a different MIDI channel. Per-voice channels support pitch bend, aftertouch, modulation wheel, and controller assignment messages. See Mod Matrix pane. Controllers and MIDI messages sent on the base channel affect all voices.
Mono Mode Pitch Range field: Drag vertically to set a value from 0 to 96.
The chosen pitch bend range affects individual note pitch bend messages received on all but the assigned Common Base Channel. The default is 48 semitones, which is compatible with the GarageBand for iOS keyboard in pitch mode. When using a MIDI guitar, 24 semitones is the preferable setting because most guitar-to-MIDI converters use this range by default.
