Slice Mode question

Post by joker77 »

1. Is it possible to manually draw in the markers or arrows to slice without the need for an automatic marker with sensitivity? If so how?


2. everytime we load a sample,does it have to default to stretch,or can it be defaulted to play back in other preferences? such as sample/slice/granular?


thanks

I hate this about UVI workstation too. It should not default to stretch when you load a sample. At least let it be a preference. I usually don't want to use Stretch and when I do I would set it manually. In UVI workstation it will even override this setting to stretch if you load a sample and turn it off the loading another sample sets it back. Loading a sample should not change any parameters.

In that case why don't you DnD on the mapping area ?
In that case it defaults to traditional sample playback.

It loads in stretch only if you DnD directly on the part.

I don't have M53 yet. Just I have the same issue with UVI. Either way, I don' like using D&D much it is a bit awkward (RSI). I normally double click to load or enter after using arrows on my keyboard. Also use the arrows on the part to increment to next sample. I assume this is the same with M53?

I'm pretty sure you will find your way in M5v3 as you can easily browse with arrows using the treeview browser in order to preview samples
