Extending the sample tails
When using the sliced grooves with a Tempo slower than the original, an
annoying gap may be heard between a sample and the following one. The
Extend function allows you to fix this problem by adding a ‘tail’ to all sam-
ples, making their decay smoother and more musical.
1 After slicing and testing the groove, use the Extend function if needed.
2 Go to the Sampling > Time Slice page.
3 Adjust the Extend > By parameter to set the length of the ‘tail’ added to the
samples (in percentage). A setting of 20-30% is usually suitable to most
grooves.
Depending on the Tempo of the Style that will include this groove, use high
or low values. If you will slow down the groove very much, assign higher val-
ues to this parameter, otherwise you may assign lower values.
Be careful with the higher
By values, because the Extend function may add
audible artifacts.
