Non-Destructive Drum Programs - Can we purge unused slices?

By Jim Roseberry Thu Mar 21, 2024 3:34 am

Been having a blast assembling my own drum sample libraries in the MPC X SE.

Question:
I've created Drum Programs using non-destructive slices.
This works great to get things assembled... but there's a LOT of unused slices.
Is there any way to purge those unused slices... so the Drum Program loads/uses just those slices that are actually assigned to Pads?

Many thanks in advance!

No.

A slice is a virtual “slice” of the original physical wave which is loaded in ram.

Create a drum program using 'New Program with new samples' instead of 'Non destructive'. This drum program allows you to purge unused pad samples.

You could convert the Slice into a Sample in Sample Edit screen. Then you can get rid of the Original Sample/Program

I think like a MPC. A program is a tool. If the sculpture don't look right, Don't blame the chisel..
MPC5000, MPC4000, MPC 2500, MPC 2000XL MPC X/Live, Believe it or not..FL Studio(for controlling VSTi's)

Feels surreal seeing you post on here Jim, having seen you on the cakewalk forum for possibly decades. One of your posts led me to my i9-10900K, so thanks

Physical samples, this is the way.
But “slices”, the non destructive way, cannot purge.

Yeah, I've been associated with Cakewalk since their "Forums" were News Groups on CompuServe.
Glad the 10900k is working out for you!

Loving the MPC X SE.
Didn't realize how much fun it would be to load-in and tweak/play my own drum sample libraries.
So much more "hands on" with all the knobs/buttons (vs using Kontakt).
