Converting or Assigning Slices
You can assign your new sample directly to a pad from Chop Mode.
You can also convert it into a new program or patched phrase.
To convert or assign a sample, press and hold Shift, and then
tap Convert at the bottom of the touchscreen to open the Convert
or Assign Slices window.
If you set the Convert To field to New [
using slices, this will create a new program and assign the sample's
slices to its pads. The pads will simply refer to the slices in this
sample instead of creating new samples. This is useful for reducing
clutter in your project. The new program will be named after the
sample and appended with ch.
Use the Slice Type field to select how each pad's layer settings
will be set when the slices are assigned to them (see
Edit Mode to learn more about the parameters mentioned below):
•
Non-Destructive Slice: Each pad's Slice setting will be
set to the slice number.
•
Pad Parameters: Each 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.
Check the Create Events box to automatically create a new
track for the new program in which each pad plays its
corresponding slice in ascending sequence by pad number.
If Create Events is checked, use the Bars field to set how
many bars the slices' events will occupy.
To convert the sample, tap Do It.
To cancel the operation, tap Close.
If you set the Convert To field to New clip program, this will
create a new clip program and assign the sample's slices to its
pads as clips. The pads will simply refer to the slices in this sample
instead of creating new samples. This is useful for reducing clutter
in your project. The new program will be named after the sample
and appended with ch.
Use the Tempo field to enter the tempo of the clips in the new
program.
