The root note parameter is shared among all Sounds in a Group. However, when applying slices
to a Sound, these slices will always start at the lowest possible note, to make room for the
maximum number of slices. If you already have Sounds in a Group, the root note is not
changed after applying slices, in order to not change the behavior of the existing Sounds. This
will, however, lead to a mismatch in how you accessed slices across Pads in the Sampling /
Slice tab and how they are laid out in the Sound you applied them to. You will typically play a
root note of C3 with Pad 1, while the lowest slice will start at C-2. To avoid this mismatch, and
to access slices on a Sound exactly as you created them in the Sampling / Slice screen, apply
slices to a Sound in a Group where you have not loaded anything to the other Sounds. This
also works when you start by loading a Sample into a Sound in a Group where you have not yet
loaded anything else.
Exporting the Slices on the Controller
Once you are satisfied with the proposed and/or manually adjusted Slices (see section
↑14.4.2, Adjusting the Slicing Settings), you can apply the slicing in order to actually cut the
original Sample and create these Slices. This is done via the two commands at the top of the
display: APPL.TO (F2) and APPLY (F3).
Exporting the Slices to a Sound
1. Press F2 (APPL.TO).
The F2 button lights up, the APPL.TO label is highlighted, and a message at the bottom
of the display invites you to select a Sound or a Group to export the Slices to.
2. Press GROUP to start selecting the Group containing the target Sound.
The GROUP button turns fully lit.
3. Press the desired pad 9–16 to select the Group. If your Project has more than eight
Groups, once you have pressed GROUP you can use the Left/Right Arrow button to switch
to another Group bank.
The selected pad starts flashing.
4. Press the lit GROUP button again.
The GROUP button turns back dim lit and the pads now represent the Sound slots of the
Group you have just selected.
5. Select the target Sound by pressing its pad.
The selected pad starts flashing to indicate that it is now the target.
