There are four ways to create slice points for a cell: Use a WAV file with pre-defined slices, manually add slices, auto scan, and
slice to grid. If you have a file that has slice points identified, bitbox will load those slice points by default. You can then
override those slice points for use in this preset, but these changes will not be saved to the WAV file. When you configure
slices manually, you set each loop point yourself by defining and removing splits. The manual process may also be used to
refine the results of an Auto Scan or a Slice to Grid. When you use auto scan, bitbox uses an internal algorithm to decide
where to place the splits. You can control the sensitivity of the algorithm. When you use slice to grid, You define a fixed
number of slices, and bitbox will create splits that evenly divide the WAV file into the specified number of slices.
To manually create or remove slices:
1.
From the Waveform screen for the Slicer cell, touch the menu item with the three
dots ". . .". This will display the Waveform Slicing menu.
2.
Use touch gestures to move the waveform so the fixed cursor position (the
vertical white line) is at the position where you want to add another slice point.
Touch Split to create a slice point. The slice point is shown as a pink horizontal
line with a small pink square near the bottom.
3.
Use touch gestures to move the waveform so the fixed cursor position (the
vertical white line) is on or near a slice point that you want to remove. Touch
Join to remove the slice point.
You can have as many or as few slices as you want.
To use Auto Scan to create slices:
1.
From the Waveform screen for the Slicer cell, touch the menu item with the three
dots ". . .". This will display the Waveform Slicing menu.
2.
Touch Scan and then use a control knob to select a Threshold percentage for the
sensitivity of the scan. The lower the threshold, the higher the number of slices that
will be created. Touch OK when you are ready to scan. (You can touch anyplace
outside of the Threshold field to cancel the scan.) Bitbox will detect and create
slice points in the file automatically. The slice points are shown as pink horizontal
lines with a small pink square near the bottom.
To use Slice to Grid:
1.
From the Waveform screen for the Slicer cell, touch the menu item with the three
dots ". . .". This will display the Waveform Slicing menu.
2.
Touch Grid and then use a control knob to select the number of Slices to create.
Touch OK when you are ready to scan. (You can touch anyplace outside of the
Slices field to cancel the scan.) Bitbox will automatically divide up the WAV file
evenly into the number of slices you specified. The slice points are shown as pink
horizontal lines with a small pink square near the bottom.
You can adjust the results of the slice to grid or auto scan by manually adding or removing
slices to get the slices that match your creative vision.
