2. You can now see the Slices of the Sample represented by vertical lines in the wave-
form on the right display. As we know the tempo is identical to our Project tempo, we
select Auto using Knob 3.
3. There are three Slice modes:
SPLIT
slices the Sample into a predefined number of Sli-
ces,
GRID
slices the Sample into equally spread Slices with a predefined length,
whereas
DETECT
is detecting the Slices by identifying their transients according to a
predefined sensitivity.
4. Select the
DETECT
entry by dialing Knob 1.
5. Press
APPLY
(Button 7) to slice the Sample. If you press
APPLY TO
(Button 8), you
can choose a different Sound or Group Slot to put the Slices on.
After that the display will automatically change to Keyboard/Piano Roll mode. Now you can
play the Slices using the pads.
►
If you change the tempo with the Tempo Encoder, you will hear the Loop changing its
tempo accordingly.
Using the
APPLY TO
function (Button 8) you can also select another Group to spread the first
16 Slices on its pads.
Jam around with the Slices to see how it sounds: you can use
NOTE REPEAT
to make them
stutter or just rearrange them by pressing the pads whenever you like.
If you can hear a click noise at the beginning or end of a slice, try to adjust the attack or
decay for this slice.
