Maschine Tutorial #13: Slicing

[encdee]

i just got the maschine and its cool but its missing basic functions you would expect it to have

it has no timestretch for stretching samples

and it lacks the ability to manually slice and assign samples

you can chop samples "manually" only within one of maschines preset chopping styles. The problem is that all the in/out markers are linked to the next sample (the end of one is the start of the next, etc) and they MUST go to the pads consecutively. you CANT choose a single sample and assign it

[BTRCRAFT]

@encdee you can move/create/remove transient markers in any of the sampling modes then when you are done hit APPLY then go to MAP and delete or drag the samples in to any order you like you can even do velocity layers if you want

So this is better than MPC I'm guessing, is this maschine good for a begginer who has never worked with a major-brand beat machine?

[Zhoff0246]

@iswearshes18 I'd say so. It is fairly easy for a beginner to pick up and play with it, as long as you have even the tiniest bit of musical interest/talent. good luck!

I was a beginner too,but it is just very very simple using it!

Click modules, press the right arrow button and under the first screen change the last TYPE from one shot to ADSR or AHD.

@jindagreatlee oh wow thanks alot, i just watched 4 videos to find that out and probably would have watched them all again, thanks!

[antoyau]

it keeps playing playing in the slicing mode... say if the sample is 1 min long it plays the full minute.. even wen i put the groupe setting to 1 velocity..

[antoyau]

SOMEBODY PLEASE... tell me how to stop audio from playing out. A simple kill all or stop button would do the job but I can't find one??!!

[ayoitsmeeeh]

@antoyau What do you mean?

[eleKtricBone]

If I slice it in more than 16 parts and hit apply (software jumps into keyboard mode), how can I play the parts which aren't on the pads?

[Urstruly916]

@eleKtricBone try using apply too , and mapping them all individually to each pad in different groups...haven't tried it but maybe it'll work

[geniusn2586]

and how do you make a sample stop playing when another one starts?

[biggtimemusic]

@geniusn2586 put them in the same choke mode, or set polyphony to 1

[geniusn2586]

how do you save your slices so when you open your beat again you dont have to re slice everything? I saved the beat but it didnt save my slices...

[BeckhamBoy52]

how do you get pads to stop nd then play instead of overlapping??

[Engelvonderholle]

@BeckhamBoy52 turn down the release knob.

[jwise36]

how can i slice the samples manually!!!! i have recorded a sample and want to assign certain parts of it to different pads help!

[TheOriGinalNicotine]

@jwise36

hit the sample button, then hit edit in the top left screen. now you can use the knobs to adjust the start and end point of the sample. duplicate to new pad and repeat

it doesn't label it but knob 1 below the right screen will control the zoom on the sample

[TheOriGinalNicotine]

@jwise36

thats how i do it but i also forgot to mention if you do everything he says in the video, before you hit apply you can hit button 1 above the right screen (edit) then you can manually adjust each individual slice maschine created

[Druidul]

sorry but the ADR really sucks

[philiprawks]

The guy doesn't actually explain how to rearrange the loops >=[

[adrenerg]

as far as i know you can choose the slicing points by yourself since the last version 1.5

[79rent]

drop it like its hot

[cortezforever]

how accurate is the slice function? i currently use recycle but i sometimes have to edit samples manually.

[philiprawks]

@cortezforever Fairly accurate, you can dial how sensitive you want it to be. and adjusting isn't painstaking as you just keep hitting the pad and twisting the nob till your happy =]
