Use Slice to Grid
When you use the slice to grid option, you define a fixed number of slices and the
tangerine creates splits that evenly divide the WAV file into the specified number of slices.
1.
From the Waveform screen for the slicer pad, touch the menu item with the three
dots “. . .”. This will display the Waveform Slicing menu.
2.
Touch Grid and then use a control knob to select the number of Slices to create.
Touch OK when you are ready to scan. (You can touch anyplace outside of the Slices
field to cancel the scan.)
3.
The tangerine will automatically divide up the WAV file evenly into the number of
slices you specified. The slice points are shown as white vertical lines with a small
square near the bottom.
Note:
You can adjust the results of the slice to grid or auto scan by manually adding or
removing slices to get the slices that match your creative vision.
Use Slices to Synchronize Playback of Clip Pads
You can use slices in a clip pad to synchronize playback of the beats in the clip. When the
value of the Sync parameter for a clip pad is set to Slice, tangerine will use the location of
the slices in the WAV file as the location of the “beats” for Sync purposes in order to prevent
timing drift.
But how do you get slices in a clip pad? First configure the pad in Slice Mode, create the
slices, and then change the Pad Mode to Clip. The slices will still be visible on the Waveform
screen and can be used for synchronization.
