To Manually Create or Remove Slices
1.
On the Waveform screen for the slicer pad touch the menu
item with the three dots “. . .”. This will display the Waveform
Slicing menu.
2.
Use touch gestures to move the waveform so the fixed
cursor position (the vertical white line) is at the position
where you want to add another slice point. Touch Split to
create a slice point. The slice point is shown as a pink
vertical line with a small pink square near the bottom.
3.
Use touch gestures to move the waveform so the fixed
cursor position (the vertical white line) is on or near a slice
point that you want to remove. Touch Join to remove the
slice point.
You can have as many or as few slices as you want.

Description
Range of Values
Mod
Target?
Slice
Indicates which slice will be played
when a note is triggered. You can use
modulation to vary this value over
time.
1
through the number of slices in the pad.
Yes
Slice Seq
When Slice Seq is set to a value other
than
None
, each new note will
advance the selection of the next
slice to play.
The value of this parameter controls
the order in which slice selection is
advanced.
None
: This parameter will not be used to
control the order of playback of slices.
Forward
: A trigger will cause the
playback to move to the next slice.
Backwards
: A trigger will cause the
playback to move to the previous slice
Random
: A trigger will cause the
playback to move to a randomly selected
slice
Stagger
: A trigger will cause the
playback to move through the slices in a
somewhat random way. It will move
forward a few slices, then back a couple
of slices, and repeat.
No
In addition to setting parameters for a slicer pad, you also need to create the slices. There
are three ways to do this: manually, auto scan, and slice to grid. When you configure slices
manually, you use the
Split
and
Join
menu options to add and remove slice points. The
manual process may also be used to refine the results after you use auto scan or slice to
grid. When you use auto scan, blackbox uses an internal algorithm to decide where to
place the splits. You can control the sensitivity of the algorithm. When you use slice to
grid, you define a fixed number of slices, and blackbox will create splits that evenly divide
the WAV file into the specified number of slices.
