do you cut like this???

just wondering if anyone does this: if you have a sample and put it on (at least) 4 pads and then go into the env./velocity menu (program/sounds + 2) set the sample to poly:mono. next put the velocity mod volume to 0 and the decay mod to start. next you can adjust the soft start where you want in the sample and you adjust the decay to cut the sample when you want. you do the same with the other 3 pads and then you have one sample chopped in four different places. so basically you have the same sample set on 4 different pads with different start and end points. only prob is that the soft start goes up/down in large increments so you can't always get the sample to start exactly where you want it. this would be good for soft samples like maybe fender rhodes sounds or vibes or something but not so good for drums. this is a lot quicker (if you don't have the new o.s.). what do you guys think? ever f*ck with that???

sorry... left out something. for this to work you need to turn "full level" off. so if you hit the pad softly every time the sound will be the same but if you hit it at different velocities the sound will change - not as hard as it sounds. you can also set poly: note off so that the sample will cut off quickly instead of fading out.

you can also do that with the 16 levels function set to velocity ( good to find what part of the sample actually sounds good with the sequencer running )

yeah but with the velocity you can only set the start point for each pad individually so once you set the start point for one pad the start point is like in the middle of the sample for the rest of the pads so i don't know how useful that is.

i agree , sometimes to get only the harmonics content without any attack ( kind of ghost chord ) is really useful , especially when you have a deep compressed beat , between two hits of drum appears the harmonic and that sounds good .

this is actually a really good technique... i am not one for "chopped" beats all over the place... i leave that for the premo and other people who over use the 1000 and 2500 even the 2000 chop or slice option
but this gives you a good arsonal of "chops" to play with! good bringing it up the 60 has a few things you have to kinda bend the rules with it like phase and a flang effect with a pan attached to it... after hours of playing around wiht a sample and not reading the manual, i found this, and what you brought up! great on horns

Primo does his cuts by hand
it just takes a lot of practice to get that good and precise
its a part of that I've neglected because I never had the proper equipment
and when I finally did get the right equipment my wife broke on of my tables so now I'm back to square one

no doubt premomia always had his tech down pack'd!
hahahaha and i wonder how many wheels he went through hahaha all that damn scrollin!
