Yes,


Go to the edit screen and copy the sample to different pads then slice/cut the sample.

TRIM menu
-> znEdit
-> choose start and endpoint of the part you want (Pads are not working here. If you want to listen to the part you've selected you'll need to set the PLAY X function to ZONE and hit F6 (PLAY X) )
-> now modify the endpoint by selecting more than you need (about a half of a second). I'll tell you later why.
-> Hit F5 (EDIT)
-> choose ZONE->NEW SAMPLE
-> choose a new sample name (dont forget to hit enter after entering the name!)
-> hit DOIT

congrats. Your first slice is born :)

To get more slices:
-> set the cursor to startnumbers and hit OPEN WINDOW
-> set the Zone Lngth parameter from VARI to FIX. This will fix the length of your selection. (thats why I told you to modify the endpoint. now you can be sure that none of your slices will be too short)
-> set the startpoint of your new slice
-> hit EDIT
-> I guess you know what to do now......

When you're done, go thru all slices and modify the endpoint. Dont use the display now!!! Just use your ear. You'll see why.

peace

my english is not so good.

i slice samples in this way.

-znedit
-first slice- start- and endpoint
-zone - new sample
-new name
-delete zone
-adjust the endpoint for the next zone
-zone - new sample


and so on
