Creating a slice sample (Time Slice)
Slice
It is not possible to slice a stereo sample.
Slice is a function that can be used to cut up a phrase into smaller
elements so you can:

When you change the sensitivity, a certain amount of time
may be required for the sample to be re-divided.
Depending on the volume or type of the sample, there
may be cases in which changing the sensitivity will not
change how the sample is divided.
7. Press the Slice sample part key once again to complete the
Slice procedure. (The Slice sample part key will go dark.)
If you decide to cancel mid-way through the procedure, press
the Stop/Cancel key.
A slice sample is indicated by a Ol l� after the sample number.
The slice sample will be divided into either 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 48,1,4,6
or 64 steps. Each step is a 16th note, and the scale will be calcu-
lated automatically from the sample length and the BPM. The
assigned step locations will depend on this.
