If you specified the number of steps as 16 or higher in “4” (above),
you can use the [ ][ ] keys to change the region of slice steps that
is displayed. (The currently displayed region is shown by the lower
line of LEDs.).
6. You can increase or decrease the number of slices into which the
sound is divided by holding down SHIFT and pressing a step key.
This lets you manually specify a division that was not automatically
detected, or delete an unwanted division.
Depending on how the sound is divided, a small amount of time may
be required for the division to change when you adjust the sensitivity
(threshold).
Depending on the volume or type of the sample, adjusting the sensitiv-
ity (threshold) may not change the way in which the sound is divided.
If you set the Beat to 12 or 24, steps 13–16 are not used.
7. When you have finished making adjustments, press the slice sample
part key to complete the Slice operation. (The key will go dark.)
8. Press the WRITE/RENAME key to save the sample.
If you decide to cancel mid-way through the procedure, press the
STOP/CANCEL key.
The sliced sample will have a “ ” following its sample number.
If you were not successful in creating a slice sample
When you execute Time Slice to create a slice sample, the sample may not always
be sliced as you intended. In this case, you can try the following two techniques.
Try changing the slice step setting (step 3, above)
The slice step tells the ESX-1 “how many steps the entire slice sample
should occupy,” and is automatically determined during the Slice
process based on the length of the sample, the attacks, and the tempo.
If the detected result is obviously different than your intentions, use
the dial to change the setting. For example, suppose you have a
sample like the one shown below: “>_>_>>>>” (where “>” is a note,
and “_” is silence).
This sample contains six attacks, but judging from the overall length,
it should occupy eight steps, so an automatically-detected result of
“8” would be correct. If the ESX-1 displays a different value, such as
“7” or “9,” turn the dial to specify the correct number of steps.
