Slice setting
Loop samples can be sliced into equal parts.
You can select whether each sliced part will
play or not play. Sliced parts that do not play
are skipped, so the overall length of the loop
will be made shorter. This allows you to cre-
ate a variety of new rhythmic figures and loops
from the same original data. For example by
playing only the first two beats and last two
beats of a four-measure sample to create a
one-measure loop.
