Converting or Assigning Slices 
 
You can assign your new sample directly to a pad from Chop Mode. You can also convert it into a new program or 
patched phrase. 
To convert or assign a sample, press and hold Shift, and then tap Convert at the bottom of the screen to open the 
Convert or Assign Slices window. 
 
 
If you set the Convert To field to New  [
program  type] 
program using slices, this will create a new program and 
assign the sample’s slices to its pads. The pads will simply 
refer to the slices in this sample instead of creating new 
samples. This is useful for reducing clutter in your project. 
The new program will be named after the sample and 
appended with ch. 
 
Use the Slice Type field to select how each pad’s layer 
settings will be set when the slices are assigned to them 
(see  Program Edit Mode to learn more about the 
parameters mentioned below): 
•  Non-Destructive Slice: Each pad’s Slice setting 
will be set to the slice number. 
•  Pad Parameters: Each pad’s Slice setting will be 
set to Pad. The Pad Start and  Pad End 
parameters will be set to the slice’s start point and 
end point values, and the Loop Pos parameter will 
be set to the slice’s start point but with Pad Loop 
deactivated. 
 
Check the Create Events box to automatically create 
a new track for the new program in which each pad 
plays its corresponding slice in ascending sequence 
by pad number.  
 
If Create Events is checked, use the Bars field to set 
how many bars the slices’ events will occupy. 
 
To convert the sample, tap Do It. 
To cancel the operation, tap Close.
