How do I chop a sample?

You can chop samples in two ways: auto-chop uses beat detection to slice intelligently, or you can manually create slices while the sample plays.

Entering chop mode

Press SHIFT + SAMPLE to enter chop mode. Select a group (A-D) to assign slices.

Auto-chop

The device analyzes the sample and divides it into slices using beat tracking. Slices populate from bottom-left to top-right across the pads. Use minus/plus to adjust the number of slices.

Live chop

Press pads while the sample plays. The time between each pad press determines where slices are created. This gives you manual control over slice points.

Refining slices

Select a pad, then turn knobX to adjust the start point and knobY to adjust the end point of that slice. Hold SHIFT while turning the knobs for finer control.

Once you're done chopping, exit chop mode and your slices are ready to play and sequence across the pads.
