Sampling Mode [SAMPLING]

08: Slice

This Job lets you divide the audio data included in the current User Voice into separate “slices” and assign them to the different User Voices.

This Job consists of two displays. The first display shown before executing the Slice operation lets you set how the audio data is divided while the second display shown after executing the Slice operation lets you assign the created “slice” to a different User Voice.

The first display (for setting the related parameters)

1 2

1Type

Determines the type that best suits the original phrase. Speci- fies how the User Voice is sliced, and to some extent determines the resulting sound quality.

Settings

beat, phase1 – 4, quick

This slice type is suited for percussive

 

phrases such as drums or bass with a fast

 

attack and short decay.

phrase1 – 4 Ideal for phrases containing cymbals or

 

other instruments with a long decay.

quick

Regardless of the phrase content, the audio

 

data included in the User Voice is divided at

 

numbers specified as the Sub Divide

 

parameter.

BSubDivide

Determines the number of slices.

Range

2 – 16

 

 

The second display (for setting the slice number and User Voice number as destination)

From this display (which appears after executing the Slice operation), you can assign each of the slices to a different User Voice. Set the Select parameter to the desired slice number, set the Save To parameter to the User Voice number as assignment destination, then press the [ENTER/ STORE] button to execute the Assignment operation. The advantage of this feature is that you can assign each rhythmic slice to be triggered by a different pad (or note number), and thus the rhythm can be reconstructed in various ways by playing of the individual slices.

CSelect

DSaveTo

If you are satisfied with the result of each slice, assign each slice to a separate User Voice. If you are not satisfied with the result, press the [EXIT] button to go back to the first display, then execute the Slice operation again.
