Whatsup guys

1.
I chop my sample up EQUALLY into a couple of regions but i can't change the start of the first region.
Any of you guys know why i can't change the start of my 1st region?

2.
Let's say i have a region with Start: 0 & End: 7234
If i wan't to change the End i can only change the ''4'' so i will take my a while till i've scrolled to 9000
How do i change the thousands, in this case the ''7'' ?

Thanks again

Here is example. Select end number.123,385 now u should be on the number 5 in the group. Hold shift and press the left arrow. It will now move to the 8. I am of course calling the pad bellow the scroll wheel. The up-down-left-right. Controls. Also.. I use the 5 k. I divide my sample by 8 then find what I want and extract what I make.

Before you chop maksure you start at 1 not 0. Then use the sliders aka Q Link controls.

Because the regions are linked you have to select the first region then use the SPLIT REGION Function.
That then adds an additional region and make region 2 your new region 1.
After you do that you just scroll the front of region 2 back to where you would like the beginning of Reion 1 to be.
You can even scroll it back to 0 if you need to.

They made an asumption that a person would either trim or highlight the desired area of a sample so the start point would already be correct.
The reality is that you can actually chop faster by just selecting the area and extracting your regions than using chop shop.
It also makes assigning them to pads really quick and simple.
