2. Drag the loop file onto a track in LoopMash.
Dragging a loop to a track already occupied replaces the original loop.
RESULT
LoopMash separates the loop into slices, analyzes them, and displays them as a
waveform on the track. One track can hold up to 32 slices. If a long loop contains
more than 32 slices, LoopMash imports only the first 32. Ideally, you would use a
loop file cut at bar boundaries. If you import your file from the MediaBay, LoopMash
uses the tempo information supplied by the MediaBay for the slicing of the loop.
NOTE
To remove a loop from a LoopMash track, right-click the track and select Clear
track.
Defining the Master Loop
One track is always selected. This is the master track: it provides the rhythmic
pattern that you hear. The sounds of this loop are replaced by slices selected from
the other loops in the current LoopMash configuration.
PROCEDURE
To make a track the master track, activate the button to the left of it, next to
the track display.
Auditioning Slices
PROCEDURE
1. Click on the slice that you want to hear.
2. Use the Step function in the transport controls to step through the slices.

Playback and Master Slice Indicators
A rectangle in the track color around a slice indicates the current position within the
master loop, that is, the master slice. The slice selected for playback is indicated by
a white rectangle.
