Converting Or Assigning Slices - Akai FORCE User Manual

Converting or Assigning Slices

You can assign your new sample directly to a pad from Chop Mode. You can also convert it into a new track or patched
phrase.
To convert or assign a sample, press and hold Shift, and then tap Convert at the bottom of the screen to open the
Convert or Assign Slices window.
If you set the Convert To field to New drum track using slices, this
will create a new track and assign the sample's slices to its pads. The
pads will simply refer to the slices in this sample instead of creating new
samples. This is useful for reducing clutter in your project. The new
track will be named after the sample and appended with ch.
Use the Slice Type field to select how each pad's layer settings will
be set when the slices are assigned to them (see
to learn more about the parameters mentioned below):
•
Non-Destructive Slice: Each pad's Slice setting will be set to
the slice number.
•
Pad Parameters: Each pad's Slice setting will be set to Pad.
The Pad Start and Pad End parameters will be set to the
slice's start point and end point values, and the Loop Pos
parameter will be set to the slice's start point but with Pad
Loop deactivated.
Check the Create Events box to automatically create a new clip
in which each pad plays its corresponding slice in ascending
sequence by pad number.
If Create Events is checked, use the Bars field to set how many
bars the slices' events will occupy.
To convert the sample, tap Do It.
To cancel the operation, tap Close.
