Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 200)

Parameter Description
MODE Here you can select either DETECT , SPLIT , GRID , or MANUAL :
Detect mode : The Sample will be sliced according to its transients.
Split mode : The Sample will be sliced into equally spread Slices.
Grid mode : The Sample will be sliced according to note values.
Manual mode : Manually enter slice points using the pads, and edit the
start and end points of a slice.
SLICES (Split and
Grid mode only)
When MODE is set to SPLIT (see above), SLICES lets you choose the
amount of Slices: 4, 8, 16 or 32.
When MODE is set to GRID (see above), SLICES lets you choose the
length of the Slices in note values: 4th, 8th,16th or 32nd notes.
AUTO-SNAP
(Manual mode
only)
The Sample Slicer Manual mode Auto-Snap feature automatically aligns
Slice points to the nearest transient as you manually trigger the slicing
from the pads. It can be turned off so that slice points are instead placed
exactly where you trigger them. In order to use Auto-Snap, you must wait
for analysis to be performed on the sample you’re slicing—the analysis is
very quick but will take longer for long audio files.
SENSITIVITY
(Detect mode
only)
When MODE is set to DETECT (see above), SENSITIVITY lets you adjust
the sensitivity of the transient detection. Higher values will cause more
Slices to be detected because more transients will be recognized, lower
values will result in less Slices. This parameter should be adjusted until
all the musically significant slices are being detected in the waveform.
BPM (BPM Mode) Selects how the tempo is defined: If you select AUTO , MASCHINE will
calculate the tempo automatically. If you select MANUAL , you can enter
the tempo in BPM manually.
ADJUST If BPM is set to AUTO , you can choose between the tempo that
MASCHINE+ detected, or half or double of that tempo. If BPM is set to
MANUAL , you can adjust the tempo manually.
When MODE is set to DETECT , the second section of parameters is available at the bottom of the
left display: the ENGINE section.
▶ When MODE is set to DETECT , press the Right Page button to show the ENGINE section.
This ENGINE section contains a single parameter: ZERO-X .
Parameter Description
ENGINE Section (Detect mode only)
ZERO-X (Zero
Crossing, Detect mode
only)
When MODE is set to DETECT , activate ZERO-X to force the
detected Slices to be created on the closest locations where the
audio signal crosses the zero value. This can be helpful to avoid
clicks when playing back Slices in another sequence.
