Non-Destructive Convert: New Program
Note: This is same as clicking the Convert To drop-down menu
and selecting New Program Using Slices.
This feature will create a new Program and assign the current
sample's slices to its pads. The new Program will be named after
the sample and appended with ch.
This is similar to applying the Convert process in v1.7 and
selecting Sliced Samples with Create New Program checked.
This option, however, doesn't clutter your Program Information
with lots of sample slices; each pad will simply refer to a slice in
this sample instead of creating a new sample.
•
Slice Type: Click this drop-down menu to select how each pad's Layer section settings in Program
Edit Mode will be set when the slice is assigned to it (see this addendum's
Layer Section to learn more about how these settings work):
Non-Destructive Slice: Each pad's Slice setting will be set to the slice number.
o
Pad Parameters: Each 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.
•
Create Events: Check this box to create a new Program in which each slice results in a sample
and is automatically assigned to a pad. Furthermore, it will automatically create a new Track in
which each pad plays its corresponding slice in ascending sequence by pad number.
•
Number of Bars (available only if Create Events is checked): Click and drag this field up or down
to set how many bars the slices' events will occupy.
