Slices
Up to 16 slice points per sampler instrument. Each slice marks a frame offset within the sample. Slices are automatically sorted by position.
Manual slice entry
- Open the waveform editor (WAVE > on a sampler instrument)
- Adjust the START marker to the desired slice position
- Navigate to the SLICES row; press A to add a slice at the current START position
- A+←→ selects slices; A+↑↓ nudges the selected slice. B removes it.
Autoslice
Navigate to AUTOSLICE > in the right column of the waveform editor and press A to open the modal:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| MODE: TRANSIENT | Detects drum hits by energy onset. Lower THRESH = more slices; higher = only sharp transients. |
| MODE: GRID | Splits the start..end region into 4, 8, or 16 equal chunks. |
| APPLY | Runs the slicer and writes results (clears existing slices first). |
Autoslice places the first slice at the START marker and works within the START..END region. Pushes undo so it is reversible.
Slice playback modes (SLCMOD on instrument)
| Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
OFF |
Slices exist for manual SLC commands only |
NOTE |
Incoming MIDI note selects the slice: root note (SLCRT, default C5) = slice 0, root+1 = slice 1, etc. Voice always plays at neutral pitch regardless of which note was used. Great for mapping a drum kit across a keyboard. |
CMD |
Use SLC xx in phrases to select slices explicitly |
