The METER parameter sets the basic slice unit, and SUB
DIVID specifies even finer resolution for phrases containing
regions with shorter notes
In the example below METER = 4/4 and SUB DIVID = 1/2.
This parameter is not available when the slice type is BEAT
1~2, and the sample will be sliced on the transients, as shown
below.

SLICE TYPE......................................................... [Knob 3]
[Settings] BEAT 1~3, PHRASE 1~4, QUICK
BEAT 1~3 .........This slice type is suited for percus-
sive phrases such as drums or bass
with a fast attack and short decay. 3
variations are provided.
PHRASE 1~4 ...Ideal for phrases containing cymbals
or other instruments with a long
decay. 4 variations are provided.
QUICK...............Regardless of the phrase content, the
sample is divided at the specified
note sub divisions. The number of
slices per measure = (the METER
numerator) × (the SUB DIVID denomi-
nator).
Specifies how the sample is sliced, and to some extent the
resulting sound quality. Select the type that best suits the
original phrase.
See below for tips on selecting the appropriate slice type.
[Slice Type Selection Tips]
When slicing percussive phrases with short
decay
First try slicing using the BEAT1 type. Try adjusting the slice
sensitivity for finer control.
If the result has a weak attack or the release portions of the
phrase seem to overlap, try again using the BEAT2 type. Try
adjusting the slice sensitivity for finer control.
If after using BEAT1 the attack portions overlap or the rhyth-
mic feel is degraded, try again using BEAT3. Adjust the SUB
DIVID parameter for broad control of the slice fineness, and
use Sens for final adjustment.
When slicing phrases with a long decay.
First try slicing using the PHRASE1 type. Adjust the SUB
DIVID parameter for broad control of the slice fineness, and
use Sens for final adjustment.
NOTE
The time signature specified here defines the
basic number of slices per measure for sam-
ple slicing.
The maximum slice resolution for stereo sam-
ples is 64 slices, and for mono samples 128
slices.
When the number of slices exceeds 100, the
101st and higher samples will be assigned to
the keyboard beginning at C-2.
METER = 4/4, SUB DIVID = 1/2 results in 8 slices.
