Converting or Assigning Slices
You can assign your new sample directly to a pad from Chop Mode. You can also convert it into a new program or
patched phrase.
To convert or assign a sample
, press and hold
Shift
, and then tap
Convert
at the bottom of the screen to open the
Convert or Assign Slices window.
If you set the Convert To field to New [
program type
]
program using slices , this will create a new program and
assign the sample’s slices to its pads. The pads will simply
refer to the slices in this sample instead of creating new
samples. This is useful for reducing clutter in your project.
The new program will be named after the sample and
appended with
ch
.
Use the
Slice Type
field to select how each pad’s layer
settings will be set when the slices are assigned to them
(see
Program Edit Mode to learn more about the
parameters mentioned below):
•
Non-Destructive Slice : Each pad’s Slice setting
will be set to the slice number.
• Pad Parameters : Each pad’s Slice setting will be
set to Pad . The Pad Start and Pad End
parameters will be set to the slice’s start point and
end point values, and the
Loop Pos
parameter will
be set to the slice’s start point but with Pad Loop
deactivated.
Check the Create Events box to automatically create
a new track for the new program in which each pad
plays its corresponding slice in ascending sequence
by pad number.
If Create Events is checked, use the Bars field to set
how many bars the slices’ events will occupy.
To convert the sample
, tap
Do It
.
To cancel the operation , tap Close .
