Slicing
1 Go to the Sampling > Time Slice page.
2 Use the Meter parameter to specify the Meter of the original sample.
3 Use the Measure parameter to specify the number of measures of the origi-
nal sample. Usually, you will load a groove 1- or 2-measures long.
4 The BPM (Beats Per Minute) parameter specifies the tempo (in Beats Per
Minute) of the original sample. This value is automatically calculated, based
on the
Start , End , Meter and Measures parameters.
If you know these data, manually enter the Meter , Measures and BPM pa-
rameters, to make the slicing more accurate. The BPM value can be only
adjusted to values lower than the one automatically calculated. This can
be useful, for example, when the actual sample is shorter than the entered
Meter and Measures values.
Meas.1 Meas.2
In the example above, the actual groove lasts only up to the first half of
Measure 2. The recognized tempo is 130, while the real tempo is 100. Set the
BPM value to 100, and a rest will be added to the end of the groove, to allow
it to loop seamlessly.
5 Touch the Slice button to slice the original audio groove.
