No sample editor......are you serious?

I was very surprised when I found this out because I thought it was a basic and vital feature that every DAW had.
Yes, I know that "Audio File Processor" exists, but I can only use piano roll with that, and in piano roll; if you skip to a certain part of the loop and you are in the middle of an ongoing note, you will not hear anything. In order to hear something, you must skip to the beginning of the note. This is very problematic if you are trying to remix a song and need to listen to one part of that sample and have to go through the whole thing multiple times. I know that the "continue sample playback across notes" feature is really faulty. You play a couple notes as a test, and then play the loop and it's never the same after every repeat because it continues where it left off even if you play a note and play the piano roll loop.
Even if I sit the sample track by itself in the Song Editor; I still can't hear anything if I skip to a different part of it that isn't the beginning.
Yes, I know that there are 3rd arty VST's that can do what I need for me, but what the hell? Why not incorporate that vital feature in your DAW?(no disrespect)
Solution: Make it able to start playing no matter what part of the sample you start at somehow. I think that could be tough on the CPU, but I think it's still worth it.
