18.4.4. Live Slicing
Live Slicing is a quick and intuitive way to add slices to a sample using the pads. The first pad is
used to trigger the sample and the subsequent pads are used to add slice points as required. If
necessary, the start and endpoints of the slices can then be finetuned using Edit mode.
To manually add Slices to a sample using the pads:
1. Press the SAMPLING button to enter the Sampling page.
2. Press Button 3 to select SLICE to open the SLICE tab.
3. Turn Knob 1 to select Manual mode.
→ Pad 1 will begin to flash to indicate that the first Slice can be added.
4. Press Pad 1 to add the first Slice to the sample.
→ Playback of the sample will begin and the next pad will begin to flash to indicate that the next
slice point can be added.
5. Press Pad 2 to add the second slice point.
6. Continue to press subsequent pads as they flash to add more slices.
→ When playback of the sample stops you may fine-tune the start and endpoints of your slices
by entering EDIT mode.
Press SHIFT + MUTE if you want to stop playback of a long sample.
Press SHIFT + Button 7 and 8 to access each bank of Slices.
18.4.5. Delete All Slices
The DELETE ALL option in SAMPLING EDIT mode is a quick and convenient way to delete all
Slices at once from a sample.
18.4.6. Manually Adjusting Slices
In addition to the Detect, Split, Grid, and Manual modes that create Slices automatically (see
section Adjusting the Slicing Settings above), you can also adjust Slices manually using your
mouse, the waveform display, and the various edit tools at your disposal.
You can directly adjust your Slices manually by selecting Manual in the MODE selector, or
start from the proposed Slices and fine-adjust these Slices manually — in that case the
MODE selector automatically switches to Manual .
Your MASCHINE+ provides a dedicated Slice Edit mode that allows you to select and fine-tune
each particular Slice.
After creating slices in Live Slice mode (refer to Live Slicing use the following steps to edit them:
1. In SLICE mode:
2. Press the right page button to access Page 2 Edit .
