User Manual

Slicer Mode
The Slicer Mode extends the Freeze mode's functionality. Press the LOOP button while in
Freeze mode and the playback behavior of the pads changes: Instead of playing from the slice
start to the end of the entire track, pressing and holding a pad in Slicer Mode will play back
just the corresponding slice in a loop.
In Slicer Mode, the pads turn green and while playing back the selected loop, pads flash
bright green while the assigned slice is played back. This is also reflected on the Deck's
display.
4.2.3.4 REMIX Button
Remix mode allows you to capture portions of a track from the capture source and assign them
to one of the pads.
REMIX Button
Remix mode is the default for Remix Decks, and isn't available for Track Decks. If a Track
Deck is in focus, the REMIX button is deactivated for that Deck.
If the Deck you set as capture source is empty, S8's display shows Error while copying in the
Deck header.
For more detailed information on capturing samples, refer to section ↑4.2.6, CAPTURE Button.
4.2.4 Loop Encoder
The Loop encoder is dedicated to looping functions on either Track Decks or Remix Decks. It
has a press function to engage a loop, a rotate function to adjust the loop size, as well as a
segmented LED ring indicating that a loop is engaged.
