SLICER MODE 2:
Pressing SLICER a second time enters Mode 2, which is indicated by the button flashing. Mode
2 immediately creates an eight-slice loop. When a Performance Pad is pressed and held, the
corresponding slice is looped alone, as in Mode 1, and when the pad is released, playback
reverts to the loop of the current eight slices. This mode can be exited by pressing SLICER again
to revert to Mode 1.
Because Mode 2 sets an eight-slice loop, the waveform display does not advance in “jumps” as
it does in Mode 1. The currently-active slice is highlighted in green.

TOuChSTRIP ACTION IN SLICER MODES:
Slicer Mode always creates a block of eight slices. By default, the DOMAIN value is 8, where
1 slice = I beat. It is possible to modify the Domain value by using “pinching” and “expanding”
actions - with two fingers – on the Touchstrip.
Expand Pinch
E.g., if Domain is set to 4, each of the eight slices will be ½ a beat in length.
A further parameter relevant to Slicer Modes is QUANTIZATION. The description of Slicer
Mode action above assumes a Quantization value of 1; this means that when a slice is triggered
by a Performance Pad, the whole of the slice is played. If Quantization is set to ½, only the
first half of the slice will be played, and so on with lower Quantization values. In addition, the
quantization value also determines when a slice can be triggered; with a value of 1, triggering
can only occur on the beat; with a value of ½, triggering can occur on half-beats as well.
