Load a Sample and Press [MODE] + Pad 6 to enter
TRIM Mode.
Press [F5] (CHOP). The Display above the waveform
changes. It shows the slice counter.
Press [F2] (AUTO).
In the 'Auto Slice' screen adjust the Recovery time and
the Threshold (both set to 50 by default):
Recovery time (0-100):
This sets the minimum time between the attack and
the next attack. If you set this time too long, continuous
attacks may not be detected. Select a smaller value
when the sample has a lot of attack parts.
Threshold (0-100):
This sets the detectable level of an attack. The smaller
the value, the more sensitive the detection will be, so if
you select a very low value, everything will ‚register’ as
an attack.
After you’ve set both values, press [DO IT] (F5). You
return to the Trim Mode window with the region mar-
kers set according to the values you’ve entered. If the
results are not as precise as you'd like, you can either
repeat steps 3 and 4, or manually tune the start and
endpoints of each region as described in the previous
section.
Once you’re satised with all the regions you created,
Press [EDIT] (F6) and select the type of new Sample you
want to create ([F2] for Sliced Samples, [F3] for Patched
Phrase) and if a new program shall be created.
Press [DO IT]. Done.
NOTE: Although Auto Chop provides a quick way to
split samples, it has some setbacks. It needs practice
to master; you may need to change recovery time and
threshold a few times before you get good results. Also,
it doesn’t work well with samples that don’t have some
distinguishable silence or only have subtle attacks in
them. I suggest looking at Auto Chop as a quick-step
approach to create regions and then edit them manually.
If the sample is too long, you’ll get an error message
saying: 'Can’t Execute', so chop small!
