Having trouble discarding parts of a sample.

So i know how to chop, i chop up my sample and create a new program with those samples (i have the machine actually create new samples for the chops)... And when i want to go in and discard a part of one of those chops, things like delete discard and time stretch and copy are blacked out, itl only let me silenct or extract or normalize. I dont understand why? Its its own program with new samples, what am i misunderstanding?

Use TRIM, not CHOP for this. If you can‘t move your start or end points beyond a certain point, try deleting slices.

Anything that would change the length of a slice is not going to be available in CHOP mode as it would complicate the handling of existing slices (i.e. all start/end points would change, new slice numbers etc).

Yeah i know to to be in chop, that was not the problem. When i was converting it i was converting it with the samples cropped, that was the problem

Its Because when you're in Chop Mode, The MPC is basically just setting Marker Points on the Sample when you convert it into a Chopped Program. Its NOT physically Seperating the Chops with New Samples. I believe you can save a Chop as a New Sample tho. Then you can discard portions of the Chop
