the slice function on the esx is awesome

However, I can't figure out how to assign specific slices to certain drums. Any help?

Thanks.

see Assigning individual slices of a slice sample on page 47 of the manual

bingo. there is another thread probably still on the front page on this too... read the steps carefully...

the only thing that kinda sucks is that you can set them to separate pads but changing the pitch of one changes the pitch of them all... they are separate BUT still connected... unless you resample... which isnt THAT big of a deal

easy there metallica breath. I read page 47. I even read page 46 and 48. #6 on page 47 says, "Use the [/\][\/]cursor keys to make the display read 'SliceEdt.'"[sic] Where is "SliceEdt"?

Anyway. I figured it out. I don't have to worry what "SliceEdt" is. I just assign the portion of the sample I want to via the "slice no." where it falls in the sample.

You enjoy telling folks to read the manual, but Korg manuals are not user-friendly. I have found many discrepancies in their manuals. So, sometimes us regular people seek the help of those who may know more than us and are willing to share. You must be a mac and ableton user. You know Jeb Bush uses ableton? I read it on the interweb. I, for one, wouldn't touch anything that screw-off has tainted.

tim, couldn't you assign the sample-slice to the keyboard part and be able to change the pitch individually? I wish we could make all the drum parts keyboard parts or vice versa.

I didn't know if you'd read p47, as you didn't say "I've read the manual and can't find SliceEdt" - which might have got a different answer

yep, so the manual says SliceEdt and it should say SliceNo.

it's not rocket science to figure out SliceNo might be the function you want though

good for you

I don't use macs or ableton though, which means we have something in common, bad luck

i use the pitch knob as a "time stretcher" to make stuff fit within the grid im working on. in the case that i found out that you cant pitch the sliced parts individually there were two slices i wanted to pitch in two different pitches. a total of 4 parts with two slices.

part one pitch one

part one pitch two

part two pitch one

part two pitch two

the thing that kinda stinks about the keyboard part is that the notes dont stretch.. i honestly dont use the keyboard section much/at all so there is probably some kind of work around for using the keyboard and pitch knob in a motion sequence orgy of sorts. maybe? donno..
