Non-Destructive Convert: Slice to Pad
Note: This is same as clicking the Convert To drop-down menu
and selecting Assign Slice to Pad.
This feature will assign the current slice to a pad, similar to
applying the Convert process in v1.7 and selecting Assign Slice.
This option, however, doesn't clutter your Program Information
with lots of sample slices; the pad will simply refer to the slice in
this sample instead of creating a new sample.
•
Pad: Click this drop-down menu and select the desired pad.
•
Slice Type: Click this drop-down menu to select how the
desired pad's Layer section settings in Program Edit Mode will be set when the slice is assigned to
it (see this addendum's
settings work):
Non-Destructive Slice: The pad's Slice setting will be set to the slice number.
o
Pad Parameters: The pad's Slice setting will be set to Pad. The Pad Start and Pad End
o
parameters will be set to the slice's start point and end point values, and the Loop Pos
parameter will be set to the slice's start point but with Pad Loop deactivated.
•
Program: Click this drop-down menu to specify a Program to which you want to add the slice.
Important: Clicking Do It will replace the sample on the first Layer of the pad.
