chopping - slice a longer sample across multiple pads to play back sections

why use this:

• chop a drum break into individual hits
• slice a vocal phrase into playable pieces
• turn loops into rearrangeable parts

manual chop (you decide where to cut):

1. have a sample on a pad
2. [shift] + [sample] - sample starts playing
3. press pads at each chop point as it plays
4. hold a pad to mark the length of that chop
5. press [main] when done

auto chop (device finds transients):

1. [shift] + [sample]
2. tap the group button (A, B, C, or D)
3. ko ii detects transients and chops automatically
4. display shows how many slices it made
5. use [-/+] to increase or decrease slice count

fine-tune your chops: after chopping, select each pad:

• x-knob: chop start point
• y-knob: chop end point
• hold [shift] + turn knobs for fine adjustment
