SLICE SOUND

This edit option is only available from the ZONE screen.
After you have divided a sound into zones, you can use this mode to make each individual zone
into a new sample. You can also create a new program containing these samples where each
sample will be assigned to 16 drum pads.

End margin:

This sets how much samples will be added to at the end of each sample. As the last portion
of the sample will be dimished by the decay envelope when played with a pad, it is neces-
sary to make the sample longer to play the section fully. The original sample name with
suffixed number will be used as the new sample name.

Note:

Note: No sample is added to the last ZONE.
