The Convert window will be displayed. Here you can select two different ways for converting the divided sample, SLICED SAMPLE or PATCHED
PHRASE
This sets the length that is added to the release after dividing a sample.
If you set this to larger value, the release of the divided sample will be
long and the sample data will be larger in size as well.
If you set this to YES, the MPC5000 makes a Program where each
region is assigned to pads, from PAD A01 – A16, in order.
The MPC5000 will process the SLICED SAMPLES and then the 'TRIM' page, with
the divided sample, will be displayed.
The new sample name of the divided sample will be the original sample name and a number.
For Example:
Sample01 > Sample01-01
Sample01-02
Sample01-03
