OK I’ve read the manual, i’ve done this before, but something is wrong, or I’ve missed it. I seem to only be able to add ONE manual slice to a sample.
SLICE grid is no problem, but if I want to manually insert slices I only get one.
When I go into SLICE mode in the Audio Editor, I am unable to move the start,loop, end point unless I just hit ADD SLICE. Ok, I get it. So I select ADD SLICE HERE, even though that isn’t where I want the slice added. Then I’ll move the start/end point as desired. Next all I get is DELETE Slice, I don’t get an option to save this initial slice so I can move on to a 2nd slice.
I understand I have to move the start of the next slice outside the area of the first slice, having never actually “saved” the first slice I never get a chance to move to a 2nd or 3rd slice. I just doesn’t work. All I can seem to do is move the Start / End parameters around and that’s all. What am I doing wrong?
Yes I have the SLICE set to ON in the playback menu.
I should mention the sample I am working with is in STATIC, but the manual says I should be able to do this with either FLEX or STATIC.
No need for deleting, others will find this useful
Reading the manual in one go will overload your brain, so for a quick google search for a beginning octatrack user these little insights are great
Sure. But with a “Add Slice” search in manuals Pdf :
ADD SLICE HERE adds a slice. The marker must be on a non-sliced area of the waveform for this alternative to appear.
If there is no more space to add a slice, you can reduce an existing slice length, and add a slice in the non-sliced area. Beware, adding a slice will change slice numbers after the inserted one.
Note that once your Level-knob driven marker is on an empty spot and you’ve added a slice, you can perfectly move the slice start marker to an occupied spot.
@sezare56 - this a popular topic… maybe just re-type the manual into the forum one sentence per post? Most helpful forum member ever! Hope you are doing well, friend!
