Set Up a Slicer Cell
Slicer Mode is useful when a single WAV file has multiple
sections that you want to trigger independently. For
example, if you have a drum riff you may want to trigger
different drum hits within the drum riff independently. Or if
you have a recording of a vocal track, you may get an
interesting effect if you skip around to playback different
words or phrases over time.
In order to use Slicer mode effectively, you will need to
identify slices within the WAV file. Bitbox mk2 can
automatically detect the slice points within the wave file,
and you can manually add or remove slice points. The
WAV file \SoundtrackLoops\SL Trance\Y L Pad 2 130
B.wav is a good example to try with slicer mode.
The following parameters are specific to Slicer Mode:

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.

Beat Count
Enter the number of beats in the clip file to
give bitbox mk2more information to work with
when synchronizing playback to the current
song BPM. If set to Auto, bitbox mk2 will
attempt to detect the beat count
automatically. Only used when Sync is set to
ON.
