Native Instruments Maschine User Manual

◦ The pads of your controller will switch to Keyboard mode so that you can directly play
your Slices on the pads.
◦ Depending on the setting of the Pattern Creation selector (3), notes will be automati-
cally created for each Slice (see below).
In other words, the Apply button (1) is just a shortcut for dragging the Slice Dragger to
the focused Sound itself!
▪ If you drag to a Group (in the Group List at the left of the Arranger):
◦ The Slices will be mapped to individual Sound slots, replacing their current content (if
any). Only the first 16 Slices will be exported.
◦ The Sample Editor will be replaced by the Pattern Editor in Group view.
◦ The pads of your controller will switch to Group mode so that you can directly play
your Slices on the pads.
◦ Depending on the setting of the Pattern Creation selector (3), notes will be automati-
cally created for each Slice (see below).
(8) Pattern Creation selector
Selects from three modes controlling the automatic note creation upon Slice export. The mode
selected here will be used both when clicking the Apply button (1) and when using the Slice
Dragger (2). Following options are available:
▪ Create Pattern (default setting): Upon Slice export a new Pattern will be created with one
note for each pitch (if Slices are exported to a Sound) or one note for each Sound (if Slices
are exported to a Group) so that the Pattern reproduces the original, unsliced Sample.
▪ Replace Pattern: Upon Slice export a sequence of notes will be created in the current Pat-
tern so that the Pattern reproduces the original, unsliced Sample. If the sequence is short-
er than the current Pattern it will be repeated to fill the Pattern; if the sequence is longer
than the Pattern the Pattern will be extended according to the Pattern Grid and the content
of other Sounds will be repeated.
◦ If Slices are exported to a Sound, the sequence of notes will contain one note for each
pitch. Any existing notes for that Sound will be replaced. Notes for other Sounds in
the Pattern will stay untouched.
