6.9 Slice Play Modes
Two similar slice playback modes exist, slice and beat slice.
Slice mode is typically used to slice an audio sample in order to create pitch
based kits. The pads in Slice mode represent current scale.
Beat Slice mode is typically used to slice percussive and atonal samples.
Notes in Beat Slice mode represent individual slices, for example hits of a
drum kit and are useful for playing and recording live beats.
Individual slices per step can also trigger from the FX, ‘S’ step function.
