Fl Slicer ?'s

[ouroboros]

o.k., new to the slice 'n dice functions in FL. I have a loop loaded in a slicer channel. Not sure what bpm it is at.
The project default pattern is at 8 beats a pattern.
Song tempo is 125 bpm.
The loop only runs through 3 beats. Would like to stretch it to 4.
There's no 1/2 pattern option in the stretch knob dialog box.

How can I do this using FL? apart from calculating times and stretching to time. I was just wondering if I am missing an obvious slicer function.

Thanks.

theres this cool thing in the slicer that you can tell it how many beats to go... lemme see if i can get a pic up for you

try this ...

highlight the notes ...
hold down shift , and position the mouse at the end of the last note , them drag to position ...

this is a stretch function ...
it will alter the internal timing ...

edit:
oops ...
just read you didn't want to stretch ...

nope, stretching is fine. I just didn't know of an easy way to get a loop that's .375 of 1 bar to .5 of 1 bar. I've tried it by ear, adjusting the tempo but haven't been happy with it so I was looking for an easy way out. Of course, I also didn't know about the drag n' drop in the window either (dork, I know )

here, move this thing around (encircled in the nice pink color) until it fits.

Snap and PPQ are the two main things that could be the reason.

Or if its that the beat does not fit the amount of bars, quick way to solve that is to reduce the bar number on the step.

Edit: beaten to it - even with a piccy too

the drawback is I can't blame my crappy music on a crappy host that gets in the way of my creativity.
