Chop To Section in Chop Mode

This section determines the slicing process. You can select between three slicing modes:

• Threshold uses an adjustable detection algorithm that derives

the number of regions created from the volume levels present

in the sample.

Click and drag the Threshold field up or down to set the

threshold level. The higher the selected value, the more slices will be created.

Click and drag the Min Time (Min Slice Time) field up or down to set the minimum length of a

slice in milliseconds.

• Regions divides a sample into several regions of equal

length. Click and drag the Num Regions field up or down to

set the number of regions you wish to divide the sample into.

Usually, 16 is a good start for a single-measure loop.

• BPM divides a sample into several regions of equal length

based on its length and the current tempo (beats per minute).

Click and drag the Bars field up or down to set how many

bars are in the sample.

Click and drag the Beat field up or down to set how many beats are in each bar.

Click and drag the Time Div field up or down to set a note division; the slice markers will be

placed according to this setting. You can select 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, or 1/32. (In most cases, you

should set this parameter to 1/16.)

Hardware:

1. Use the Cursor Buttons to select the Chop To field.

2. Use the Data Dial or the -/+ buttons to set the mode (Threshold, Region, or BPM).

3. Use the Cursor Buttons to select the parameters for that mode, and use the Data Dial or the -/+

buttons to change the value.
