MASCHINE 1.5 Reference Manual – 201
6 Zoom Tool
Use this to zoom in and out of the Sample by click-dragging up (zoom in) and down (zoom
out). You can also use the timeline (see above).
7 Envelope
This amplitude envelope is mainly meant to allow you to get rid of clicks after slicing; you can
either apply it to the whole Sample or to individual selected Slices.
attaCk
The Attack determines how quickly the Sample/Slice
reaches full volume after being triggered.
dECay
Decay is used to adjust how fast the Sample/Slice dies
down.
11.2.3 Slicing a Sample (Software)
Slicing allows you to chop up Loops to be able to extract single Sounds (the drum sounds of
a drum loop for example), but is also good for preparing a Loop to be played back at another
than the original tempo without changing its pitch or timing.
Drag a Loop or any other long Sample you wish to slice from the Browser (or sample one your-
self!) and drop it in an empty Sound Slot. Press the S amplInG Button and then the S lICE Tab.
You can see that your Loop now has a couple of equally spread vertical lines in the waveform:
this is where the Slices are going to be applied. You can select and listen to individual Slices
by clicking on their waveform.
