Time Slice
Time Slice lets you convert a mono or stereo rhythmic
sample, such as a drum loop, into a set of individual
hits and matching sequencer data. You can then:
• Re-create the loop by playing the sequencer data
• Change the tempo of the loop, without altering the
pitch
• Change the pitch of the samples, without altering
the tempo
• Change the rhythmic feel by altering quantization,
swing, etc.
• Change the pattern of the loop by swapping or
deleting individual hits, or otherwise editing the
sequencer or sample data
In detail, Time Slice does the following:
• Detects the individual beats in the original loop
• Splits each beat into a separate sample
• Creates a Multisample with the original loop on the
note C2, and the individual beats on separate keys
starting on D2
• Creates a Program which uses the new
Multisample
• Creates Sequencer data to re-create the sound of the
original loop by playing the individual hits

* You can also use the Time Stretch command to control the compression of
