ADD SLICE HERE adds a slice. The marker must be on a non-sliced area of the waveform for this
alternative to appear.
DISABLE LOOP will delete the loop point of the selected slice. This alternative only appears when the
waveform marker is positioned on a slice.
DELETE SLICE will delete the selected slice. This alternative only appears when the waveform marker
is positioned on a slice.
REVERSE SLICE will reverse the audio content of the selected slice.
NORMALIZE SLICE will apply normalization to the selected slice.
DELETE ALL SLICES will delete all slices.
CREATE SLICE GRID will create a number of slices spread out between the start and end points
set in the TRIM menu. The slice grid can consist of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48 or 64 slices. After
creating the slice grid a prompt will appear asking “ALIGN MARKERS TO ZERO-CROSSES?”. If [YES]
is pressed the slices in the grid will be adjusted to the nearest zero amplitude crossings. If [NO] is
pressed the slices will be spread out evenly and all slices will have the exact same length. This menu
can also be accessed by pressing [FUNC] + [AED].
CREATE LINEAR LOCKS will, given the active track contains a Flex or Static machine, automatically
set the SLIC parameter in the SRC SETUP menu to ON and lock the STRT parameter of sample trigs
already present on the active track. The STRT parameter of the first sample trig will be locked to SL1,
the STRT parameter of the second sample trig locked to SL2 and so on. The locked STRT values are
dependent on the amount of slices in the sample. If only one slice exist all sample trigs will for example
be locked to SL1. If SLIC is turned o, the value of the STRT locks will revert to approximations of the
slice start points:
SLIC set to ON, STRT set to SL1 = STRT 0 when SLIC is set to OFF
SLIC set to ON, STRT set to SL2 = STRT 2 when SLIC is set to OFF
SLIC set to ON, STRT set to SL3 = STRT 4 when SLIC is set to OFF
SLIC set to ON, STRT set to SL4 = STRT 6 when SLIC is set to OFF
Note that turning o SLIC may change the structure of a sample completely.
CREATE RANDOM LOCKS works just like the CREATE LINEAR LOCKS command, but randomizes
the locked STRT parameters of the sample trigs.
CHANGE VIEW changes the waveform visualization if a stereo sample is used. It works just like the
same command found in the TRIM EDIT menu.
Use the waveform marker or press the [RIGHT] or [LEFT] arrow keys to navigate between the slices.
A slice needs to be active, which is indicated by inverted graphics, for slice start, loop and end points to
be set. When a slice is active knob A sets the start point, knob B sets the loop point and knob C sets the
end point. When moving the start, loop or end points, their sample exact position will be shown at the
bottom of the screen.
Due to the nature of Compact Flash cards, Static sample slices might not be played back
correctly when modulating the STRT parameter with the crossfader or the track LFOs.
The start point of the slices might then be o. This problem is avoided when using param-
eter locks. Flex samples don’t have this problem because of them being stored in the RAM
memory.
STRT values exceeding the amount of slices will select the last slice. If the sample con-
tains for example 16 slices, STRT values ranging from SL17 - SL64 will select slice 16.
Hold [FUNC] while moving the waveform, loop, start or end markers to snap the selected
marker to a zero amplitude crossing. Zero crossings are indicated by a small rectangle in
the middle of the marker. On very large Static samples there might be a short delay before
the zero cross search is completed and the marker snaps in place.
The active slice can be previewed from the main outputs by pressing [FUNC] + [YES]. If no
slice is selected the preview listening will start from the location of the waveform marker.
Press [CUE] + [YES] to preview from the cue outputs.
13.2.3 EDIT
Access by pressing [LFO] while in the audio editor. Here various sample editing commands can be per-
formed. For Static samples, considerably less menu options are available.
