Beat Count
Enter the number of beats in the clip file to

Quant Size
Use Quant Size to quantize when the
playback starts and stops. Quantization will
cause playback to snap to a musical grid
with intervals specified by the Quant Size
parameter. When quantization is used, the
note trigger will cause playback to start and
end on the next quant size boundary. For
example, if the Quant Size is set to
1-bar
and you press the pad, the playback will
begin at the start of the next bar.

No
Sync
The Sync feature prevents timing drift that
can occur when the length and BPM of a
clip does not align exactly with the tempo
of playback. When Sync is used, blackbox
will realign the audio to match the clock at
the step size specified here.
Even slight differences between WAV file
BPM and clock tempo can cause significant
drift over time. Select a value for Sync that
will control the size of the musical unit to
which the clip will be synchronized. Choose
small settings, like 1/16th, for rhythmic or
percussion clips. Choose large settings, like
1-bar, for sustained tones or drones.
OFF
– playback will occur at the
original rate. Looping will happen
as soon as the sample ends.
ON
– blackbox will synchronize the
playback of the slice.
No
Slice
Indicates which slice will be played when a
note is triggered. You can use modulation
to vary this value over time.
