Hardware:

Now, let's create a new Program containing all of these slices as individual samples. It will also

automatically create corresponding note events to play back these slices sequentially.

1. Press F5 (Convert) to enter the Convert Slices page.

2. Use the Cursor Buttons to navigate to the following parameters and use the Data Dial or -/+

buttons select the value indicated as follows: Convert to Sliced Samples, Crop Samples to On,

Create New Program to On, Create Events to On, and Number Of Bars to the bar length of your

recorded Track (if you're working with the same one from the earlier tutorial, set it to 2).

3. Press F6 (Do It) to proceed. Each slice will be assigned to a pad, and each pad will have a recorded

note event in the Track. When you play that Track, it will play each pad (each slice) in the original

order.

4. Press Play and listen to how the drum loop matches your Song tempo now.

You can also edit the note events of the drum loop slices—enter Main Mode to do this. A new Track with

the note events playing their corresponding slices has been automatically created. Click the T Correct

drop-down menu to use Time Correct to quantize the note events so they fall on exact, even time

intervals. You can also rearrange the note events, thus creating a new playback order for the slices. You

can also edit each slice or sample in Program Edit Mode. You can add effects for slices or use the filter

function to change the frequency range of a selected slice. There are almost no limits to what you can do.

See the Chop Mode part of the Sample Edit Mode chapter to learn more about this feature.
