Live Slicing

Live Slicing is a quick and intuitive way to add slices to a sample using the pads on your con-
troller. The first pad is used to trigger the sample and the subsequent pads are used to add
slice points as required. If necessary, the start and end points of the slices can then be fine-
tuned using Edit mode.
Live Slicing is only available from your MASCHINE controller.
