08: Slice
This Job lets you divide the audio data included in the cur-
rent User Voice into separate “slices” and assign them to
the different User Voices.
This Job consists of two displays. The first display shown
before executing the Slice operation lets you set how the
audio data is divided while the second display shown after
executing the Slice operation lets you assign the created
“slice” to a different User Voice.
The first display (for setting the related parameters)
1 Type
Determines the type that best suits the original phrase. Speci-
fies how the User Voice is sliced, and to some extent deter-
mines the resulting sound quality.
beat This slice type is suited for percussive
phrases such as drums or bass with a fast
attack and short decay.
phrase1 – 4 Ideal for phrases containing cymbals or
other instruments with a long decay.
quick Regardless of the phrase content, the audio
data included in the User Voice is divided at
numbers specified as the Sub Divide
parameter.
B SubDivide
Determines the number of slices.
The second display (for setting the slice number and
User Voice number as destination)
From this display (which appears after executing the Slice
operation), you can assign each of the slices to a different
User Voice. Set the Select parameter to the desired slice
number, set the Save To parameter to the User Voice num-
ber as assignment destination, then press the [ENTER/
STORE] button to execute the Assignment operation.
The advantage of this feature is that you can assign each
rhythmic slice to be triggered by a different pad (or note
number), and thus the rhythm can be reconstructed in vari-
ous ways by playing of the individual slices.
C
Select
Determines the slice number.
D SaveTo
Determines the User Voice number to which the specified
slice is to be assigned.
E [SF1] AUDITION
You can hear the created slice one by one by selecting the
slice number 3 and holding the [SF1] AUDITION button. If
you are satisfied with the result of each slice, assign each slice
to a separate User Voice. If you are not satisfied with the
result, press the [EXIT] button to go back to the first display,
then execute the Slice operation again.
09: Name
Use this job to enter or change the name of the current User
Voice.
1 Name
Determines the User Voice name (up to 10 characters). For
detailed instructions on naming, refer to “Basic Operation” on
page 15.
B [SF6] LIST
When the cursor is located on the Name box, you can call up
the Character List by pressing the [SF6] LIST button and
enter the name. For detailed instructions on naming, refer to
“Basic Operation” on page 15.
