Hi theo,
There is a setting that effects the behavior you're talking about. There are 2 different slicing modes. In one, it will recreate the loop exactly by loading the slices to the layers of each pad.. 8 layers x 8 pads = up to 64 slices. in the other mode it will only fill 16 pads (not using layers) and fudge the pattern a little. I'm away from the computer so I can't check right now, but I think this setting is called "use layers for slicing" or something.
sorry for any typos, I'm on my iPhone. hope this helps.
EDIT: that are 16 pads not 8... so you can have up to 128 slices.
alternative like dr rex? **FOUND** GEIST

ps under transient detection mode, do you know what "classify" means?
Geist will make a guess what type of sound it is... kick, snare, hats or percussion... and organize them on the pads accordingly

Glad to hear you got that sorted!!! 
Geist is fantastic for sampling... I make my own kits without a second thought... it used to be tedious enough that the task would give me pause. Now I will make a kit from my own drum/percussion presets from my favorite synths in no time at all... and the kits consistently sound as good as commercial stuff, and I attribute that to the excellent workflow of Geist (not any great skill on my part) so that I do not get tired of working on something before I am really satisfied with the result.
I remember when hardware samplers were first popular and how much people were into them... Geist makes me understand the fun of sampling cause it is so easy

You have 16 pads with 8 layers = 128 slices.
Check this:
I don't have Geist yet, do you know when the sale ends?

derp yeah.. there are 16 pads my bad!
anyways glad you got it sorted out!
Geist is a pretty awesome unit, I think you'll enjoy it. My only complaint about it is how it handles automation outside of the internal sequencer. It's kind of a pain, but I think most people use the internal sequencer and it works fantastically in that mode.
