► Once you have set the parameters to the desired values, press Button 8 (APPLY) to apply

the pitch shifting and/or time stretching to the selected region in the Sample. If you don’t

want to use the Stretch function, press Button 7 (SETTINGS) again to switch back to the

audio function selection.

16.4 Slicing a Sample

Slicing allows you to chop up loops to extract single Sounds (the drum sounds of a drum loop

for example), but it's also good for preparing a loop to be played back at another tempo without

changing its pitch or timing. The resulting Slices can then be exported to different notes of the

same Sound or to different Sounds of the same Group.

The Slice page of the Sample Editor in the software and its equivalent the SLICE page of the

Sampling mode on your controller allow you to slice your Samples in various ways.

The typical workflow for slicing your Samples is as follows:

1. Open the Slice page (SLICE page on the controller): ↑16.4.1, Opening the Slice Page.

2. Choose a method for slicing along with a few settings depending on the chosen method:

↑16.4.2, Adjusting the Slicing Settings.

3. If you wish, manually adjust the proposed Slices: ↑16.4.4, Manually Adjusting Your Sli-

ces.

4. Apply the slicing to your Sample and export the Slices — whether in place or to another

Sound/Group: ↑16.4.5, Applying the Slicing.

Which Sample Is Shown in the Slice Page?

The Slice page (SLICE page on your controller) always displays the Sample of the Zone cur-

rently selected (see section ↑16.5.3, Selecting and Managing Zones in the Zone List for more

information on selecting Zones), and all your actions in that page will affect this particular

Sample. For example:

▪ If you have just recorded a Sample, it will directly appear here. If you have recorded more

than one Sample, the Sampled selected in the Recording History (by default the last re-

corded Sample) will appear here — see section ↑16.2, Recording a Sample for more infor-

mation on how to record Samples.
