Is there an easy way to slice a sample loop on the Digitakt over the 16 steps?

[g0nz0uk]

Hello,

I’m new to sampling and I’ve downloaded a few percussion loops which I want to fit across my 16 steps of the Digitakt. I’ve set the bpm to the same and it does loop nicely, but I want to slice the sample up so I can change per step so they act as their own sample really.

I know the Digitakt can’t do this, but are there any applications I can load a sample into that can slice samples quickly so I can upload back to the Digitakt perhaps?

I think this is where the Octatrack comes into its own?

Thanks

You might like @dialectrics beat slice and timestretch video:

Digitakt can TIME STRETCH & BEAT SLICE just like vintage samplers

@Doug has also made a cool tutorial on chopping samples on the DT:

you can use trig parameters to change the sample starting point per step. not as comfortable as an mpc but works

Thanks for the shoutout. I’ve also got one more that’s more focused on just the sample chopping part:

And I’ve got one that just demonstrates parameter locking by start point, as well:

I think that either of these are better options than chopping something up outside of the Digitakt and bringing it in later just because you’re giving up a lot of sample slots to do that. And personally, I find that I’ll run out of sample slots before anything else.

Also, I’m going to do a video on this in the near future, but you can get some really cool effects when you combine the time stretch and the sample chop into a performance just because it’s all real time.
