To load a loop in Synchronic:

Shift-click to choose multiple contiguous files. Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac) to choose multiple non-contiguous files.

 

Choose an audio file (loop) for import

The selected file is loaded into Synchronic and is immediately stored with the current preset. The waveform for the loaded file appears in the Waveform display. When selecting more than one loop, they are loaded into consecutive available presets.
