HEY!, this picture of edison above looks just like the one in the other thread you posted shamann, so... Edison is a slicer, how does it stack up to the other slicers in the slicer thread

You know... eXT has a pretty bitchin' slice in it... you can map & manipulate all the slices.
Quite powerful really... remember, that's in the app... all for $50!!

Looking interesting for sure.
Won't buy anything new for a while though I think. I've got heaps of stuff I haven't even looked into once (I must've opened Reaktor 4/5 like about 10 times at best since when I got it with Komplete).
Unless someone's really doing my killer drum/slicing machine, that is.

For the price it can't be beaten for sure. The interface is a bit clumsy though, controls and display are small and such.
Also, replacing samples isn't as nice as it could be. I'd love some "preview in context" functionality, a la DR-008 or Battery.

Honestly, I never used it much, but that's primarily because I'm sticking with what I'm used to for now. ReCycle, EXS24 and Battery that is. Or GURU, for something more experimental.

ALL right lets talk about Reflex

http://www.basementarts.de/WhatisReflex05.html

from what i remember it was kind of expensive, who picked up this one and how has it been working out for you?

come on sascha i know you've checked this one out, it's the closest thing to Guru looks like, i could be wrong though

No, I never checked it out, not even the magware version. Maybe I should. One day...

I checked out the demo recently, from what I could tell it only had a max of 16 slices per loop.

dude ext slicer is amaaazing, imho.

I was using microdicer but it had bad issues with t2, so i figured i'd use ext.

ext slicer and layer are perfect for chopping and manipulation. Get your sample slice it up, map it to keys, loop it , add effects grest stuff

Simmy would you mind going through your process a bit, how imediate is everything for you and what's the 'layer'

simmy · Post by **simmy** » Tue May 09, 2006 7:14 pm

well what i usually do is....
get my sample
I usually chop it up in recycle
I export all of the chops into an EXT sample Layer
(Layer is the level in EXT sampler where the sample resides)
For each chop I map it to a midi key or range of keys
Each chop can now be a one-shot or loop w/looping points
Within Ext I can then add effects and modulation to eah chop
Sounds like alot but it is very powerful to me

Everything is immediate once the work is done. Doing using Recycle is great, but any audio editor will do, just split audio by markers. This can also be done in EXT using the slicer. The thing about slicer if I remeber correctly, is that after you slice and want to use a slice as a loop, it loses the loop points or some stuff like that
