14.4.4.1 Exporting the Slices on the MASCHINE MIKRO Controller
Once you are satisfied with the proposed and/or manually adjusted Slices (see section
↑14.4.2, Adjusting the Slicing Settings), you can apply the slicing in order to actually cut the
original Sample and create these Slices. This is done via the two commands at the top of the
display: APPL.TO (F2) and APPLY (F3).
Exporting the Slices to a Sound
1. Press F2 (APPL.TO).
The F2 button lights up, the APPL.TO label is highlighted, and a message at the bottom of
the display invites you to select a Sound or a Group to export the Slices to.
2. Press GROUP to start selecting the Group containing the target Sound.
The GROUP button turns fully lit.
3. Press the desired pad 9–16 to select the Group. If your Project has more than eight
Groups, once you have pressed GROUP you can use the Left/Right Arrow button to switch
to another Group bank.
The selected pad starts flashing.
4. Press the lit GROUP button again.
The GROUP button turns back dim lit and the pads now represent the Sound slots of the
Group you have just selected.
5. Select the target Sound by pressing its pad.
The selected pad starts flashing to indicate that it is now the target.
6. Press F3 (APPLY) to export the Slices.
→
The Slices will be mapped to individual notes of the selected Sound, starting with the
bottom C (C-2 in MASCHINE convention). The base key of the Sound will be set to the
bottom C as well (see section ↑5.1.3, Adjusting the Base Key for more information on the
base key). Any previous content in the Sound will be replaced. Your controller will leave
Sample mode and return to Control mode. The pads will switch to Keyboard mode so that
you can directly play your Slices on the pads. Additionally, depending on the setting of
the Pattern Creation selector in the Slice page of the software, notes will be automatically
created for each Slice (see above for more information).
At any time you can press the lit F2 button (APPL.TO) to cancel the export and return to the
SLICE page.
