Use Slices To Synchronize Playback Of Clip Pads - 1010music Blackbox User Manual

To Manually Create or Remove Slices:
1. On the Waveform screen for the slicer pad touch the menu item with the three
dots ". . .". This will display the Waveform Slicing menu.
2. Use touch gestures to move the waveform so the fixed cursor position (the
vertical white line) is at the position where you want to add another slice point.
Touch Split to create a slice point. The slice point is shown as a pink horizontal
line with a small pink square near the bottom.
3. Use touch gestures to move the waveform so the fixed cursor position (the
vertical white line) is on or near a slice point that you want to remove. Touch
Join to remove the slice point.
You can have as many or as few slices as you want.
To Use Auto Scan to Create Slices:
1. From the Waveform screen for the slicer pad, touch the menu item with the three dots ". . .". This will display the
Waveform Slicing menu.
2. Touch Scan and then use a control knob to select a Threshold percentage for
the sensitivity of the scan. The lower the threshold, the higher the number of slices
that will be created. Touch OK when you are ready to scan. (You can touch
anyplace outside of the Threshold field to cancel the scan.) Blackbox will detect
and create slice points in the file automatically. The slice points are shown as pink
horizontal lines with a small pink square near the bottom.
To Use Slice to Grid:
1. From the Waveform screen for the slicer pad, touch the menu item with the three
dots ". . .". This will display the Waveform Slicing menu.
2. Touch Grid and then use a control knob to select the number of Slices to create.
Touch OK when you are ready to scan. (You can touch anyplace outside of the
Slices field to cancel the scan.) Blackbox will automatically divide up the WAV file
evenly into the number of slices you specified. The slice points are shown as pink
horizontal lines with a small pink square near the bottom.
You can adjust the results of the slice to grid or auto scan by manually adding or removing
slices to get the slices that match your creative vision.

Use Slices to Synchronize Playback of Clip Pads

You can use slices in a clip pad to synchronize playback of the beats in the clip. When the value of the Sync parameter for a
clip pad is set to Slice, blackbox will use the location of the slices in the WAV file as the location of the "beats" for Sync
purposes in order to prevent timing drift.
But how do you get slices in a clip pad? First configure the pad in Slicer Mode, create the slices, and then change the Pad
Mode to Clip. The slices will still be visible on the Waveform screen and can be used for synchronization.
