Screen Element Description
In Grid mode: Choose the musical value : 4th, 8th,16th or 32nd notes.
In Detect mode: Adjust the sensitivity of the transient detection here.
Higher values will cause more Slices to be detected because more transi-
ents will be recognized, lower values will result in less slices. This parame-
ter should be adjusted until all the musically significant slices are being
detected in the waveform.
(2) BPM Settings
Screen Element Description
Auto If this radio button is selected, MASCHINE will calculate the tempo auto-
matically.
Man If this radio button is selected, you can enter the tempo in BPM manually.
BPM If you have selected Auto, you can choose between the tempo that MA-
SCHINE detected, or half or double of that tempo.
(3) ADD and REMOVE
Screen Element Description
ADD This allows you to add a Slice according to the current selection and the
Mode and Slices Settings.
REMOVE Here you can remove the currently selected Slice.
(4) APPLY and Loop Dragger
Screen Element Description
APPLY Hitting this button applies the slicing to the Sample, according to the set-
tings defined. All Slices will be mapped to the same Sound slot the Loop
has been recorded to.
If you hit Apply, the Piano Roll/Keyboard Editor will open automatically after that, and you will
see a couple of notes:
