need help with sample editing

how do you patch phrase chops less than a bar long? is there any way other than making each pad hit a bar long but just starting on the needed beat?
Pete Rock does it in this video

this doesnt answer the damn question lampdog.

Its not patch phrasing...its chopping up a 2 bar loop into 16 beats. Hence the equal chopping. Some people chop on the beat and some chop to the bassline. In this video Pete chopped to the beat. Notice pads 1,4 they are all on a snare or kick drum.

You probably wanna timestretch your sample first before you chop it.

oh snap..some real knowledge here..
im gona try this out.

i tried pp for some stuff but it sucks..
atleast in slowing things down.
sounds all hoppy and shit..so mainly use it for drums now.
and ive chopped to drums/bassline but still sounded rappy
might give it another try

With pp you have to leave your sample in threshold mode and then adjust your threshold to something like 61 or at least till the chops are on some kind of beat.

wtf? gona try that out... but who kn0wz..i found time stretching was better to slow shiet down

Hell, you can use time stretch to speed things up too and leave the same pitch

yeh... tunning changes pith ;(
