Chop Mode
The Chop section describes several functions unique to Chop Mode, in contrast to Trim Mode.
In Chop Mode, the sample will be divided into multiple regions called slices. There are three different
ways to use this function:
• Region divides a sample into several regions of equal length.
• BPM divides a sample into several regions based on the tempo (beats per minute).
• Threshold uses an adjustable detection algorithm that derives the number of regions created from
the volume levels present in the sample.
You can also manually insert a slice by clicking near the top of the Waveform Display, just under the light
grey sample timeline.
