Autoslicing

[Shifrin]

And, So far things with the fiddler are great! Will continue to slice with it

I wonder if I could find some Vanessa Mae and slice her playing the fiddle in the XT sampler

crumbsers i might sell my phatmatikPro now that we have autoslice!

sorry, im sure this is old ground .. but i was wondering whether the new autoslice functionality only applies to working with samples inside the new sampler, or can you use it to slice audiotracks/parts that have been directly placed on the sequencer timeline too?

No, but it's not hard to do it with the sampler. Heres how:

1) load sample in sampler, autoslice it. SAve it as a xts file (export sound)
2) open a sequencer, open the browser and drag the xts file into the sequencer (it will then automatically load the sampler with the sliced sample on a new track) (*)
3) insert one long root note in a midi part on the track (the sampler will sequence the slices for you automatically). Ctrl + d to ghost duplicate the midi part

It's no need to export midi file from the sampler unless you want to rearrange the sample.

ps: *dropping xts files is coming in next beta

But then, doing it directly on an audio track sounds like a nice FR



thanks

the sampler sounds really smart.. but yes, i'm waiting for on-the-timeline audio slicing and audioclip-position-adjustment via groove templates.. because i prefer seeing waveforms while i work.. so please consider it an official FR!

thanks for the information!

would it be possible to add something like a select tool in the slicer and a function to trim/crop this selection from a sample/loop ?
main reason is i often have loops which are not exact and kind of overlap and needs to be cut by 5-10 ms at the start or end or in between ... but this tool surely would give some additional creative potential as well .
i thought it should work non-destructive , as like on a ghost copy of the loop .

edit: and then an undo button would be sweet

for the moment, you could create a slice around the unwanted section, drop the volume to zero, and not use that one in your key triggering.

Not ideal but it does the job.

Perhaps we could have "right-click >> Omit" in the Sound Tree to omit a slice from the triggering key assignments, plus a visual indication of "omitted" slices in the Slice Mapper.

That would make it non-destructive and reversible- and you could leave out anything you wanted (or rather didn't want).

Thoughts?

I'd like to get in on the chopup fun too - could someone post a how-to for the new sampler?

For a start, until any tutorials come along, you could have a look at the Commands Guides- see the links below

yeah this most likely will do the same job , but i also expect this to have an effect on the automatic triggering of the whole thing , i.e. what is also possible now with the C2 key , so that the new , cut version of the loop can also be triggered like this , which means the midi file which is adjusted to tempo also needs to re-adjust after something has been taken away from the loop .

probably i'm asking too much

darkstar, thanks! I'm away with the pixies now..
