Hardware: Assign Slice to Pad 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 Project with lots of
sample slices; the pad will simply refer to the slice in this sample instead of creating a new sample.
•
Convert To: This will be set to Assign Slice to Pad. You can use this field to to select a different
conversion/assignment process.
•
Pad: Press the desired pad to select it.
•
Slice Type: Use this field 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
Section to learn more about how these settings work):
•
Non-Destructive Slice: The pad's Slice setting will be set to the slice number.
•
Pad Parameters: The pad's Slice setting will be set to Pad. The Pad Start and Pad End
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: Use this field to specify a Program to which you want to add the slice.
Press F5 (Do It) to confirm your choice or F4 (Cancel) or cancel the operation.
Important: Pressing F5 (Do It) will replace the sample on the first Layer of the pad.
Assign Slice to Pad in the MPC hardware display.
