Adjusting the Slicing Settings on the Controller

At the bottom of the left display, you can adjust the settings used to define where the various

Slices will be created in the Sample.

The Sample Slicer Mono option when activated automatically sets

the Voice and Choke Group of all sample slices to 1 when slicing to a

This time saving feature is useful when you don't want to have lots of

samples triggered or repeating at the same time, for example, when

you slice a drum loop and trigger the individual hits to form a new

pattern. When Mono is selected and the slices are applied to a

Group, the sampler polyphony is automatically set to 1 so only one

voice will play at a time. The Choke Group is also automatically set to

1 so each new pad that is hit will always take priority over the

previous one by cancelling it out. This behavior can be found on

vintage drum machines (typically used to "choke" the open hi-hat

with the closed one), but also in monophonic synthesizers that are

only capable of playing one note at a time.

calculate the tempo automatically. If you select Manual, you can

enter the tempo in BPM manually.
