Slices

screenshot of slice page

Cut the sample into 1-32 slices with E3 (SLCS). There are 6 voices; each of them is assigned 1 slice for playback. If the number of slices is smaller than 6, slices are recycled over voices.

When a mono sample is selected, the selected start slice (E2) is assigned to voice 1, while each next slice is assigned to the next voice. See the screenshot below: slice 2 to 7 are assigned to voice 1 to 6.

When a stereo sample is selected, each next slice is taken from the alternating channel:

  • slice 1 → channel 1
  • slice 2 → channel 2
  • slice 3 → channel 1
  • slice 4 → channel 2
  • slice 5 → channel 1
  • slice 6 → channel 2

The graphic doesn't explicitly indicate which slice is assigned to which channel, but when the sequence triggers a voice, the slice flashes according to its envelope, which helps to identify which slice is being played back.

When a multichannel audio file is loaded, each next slice is taken from the next channel, wrapping around back to channel 1 when each channel has provided a slice.

For an example with a 4-channel file:

  • slice 1 → channel 1
  • slice 2 → channel 2
  • slice 3 → channel 3
  • slice 4 → channel 4
  • slice 5 → channel 1
  • slice 6 → channel 2
