Now, let's create a new program containing all of these slices as individual samples. It will also
automatically create corresponding note events to play back these slices sequentially.
1. Press and hold Shift and then tap Convert at the bottom of the touchscreen to enter the Convert or
Assign Slices window.
2. Tap the Convert To field, and then use the Data Dial or –/+ buttons to select New Program with
New Samples.
3. Make sure Crop Samples is checked. If it is not, tap it.
4. Make sure Create New Program is checked. If it is not, tap it.
5. Make sure Create Events is checked. If it is not, tap it.
6. Tap the Bars field, and then use the Data Dial or –/+ buttons to select how many bars the entire
sample should use in your program.
7. Tap Do It to proceed. Each slice will be assigned to a pad, and each pad will have a recorded note
event in the track. When you play that tack, it will play each pad (each slice) in the original order.
Press Menu and then tap Grid View to see how the sample appears in your sequence.
8. Press Play and listen to how the drum loop matches your song tempo now.
