Creating audio Groove Slices with time

Creating separate samples from a sliced audio groove

After recording or loading an audio groove, you must 'slice' it to create a se-

ries of separate percussive samples, a multisample to organize them on the

keyboard, and a MIDI Groove containing the original sequence converted to

MIDI events. In the end, you will save it as a new Sound.

How it works

Time Slicing detects the attacks (that is, kick and snare shots) inside a rhythm

audio groove, and automatically divides the audio groove into individual

percussive samples. The sliced percussive samples will be automatically as-

signed to different keys in a multisample, and the multisample to a Sound.

Within the generated multisample, a separate sample is assigned to a dif-

ferent note on the keyboard, starting from C#3. By playing an ascending

chromatic scale with this multisample, you could recreate the original audio

A MIDI Groove will also be created, containing a sequence of notes trigger-

ing the sliced percussive samples in the same order as in the original audio

groove. When you will import this MIDI Groove to a Style or Pad track, this

sequence will let you adjust the groove's tempo without affecting the pitch

of the percussive samples.

In addition to changing the groove's tempo without affecting its pitch, this

will let you change the order in which the samples are played, change the

timing, and edit the pattern to freely recreate a new rhythm loop.
