Slicex 
Slicex uses advanced beat detection algorithms to slice song/percussion samples into pieces and make them independently playable from the Piano roll or controller. If the wave file contains slice/region
data this will be automatically used instead of the beat-detection algorithm. Slicex offers playback, reordering of slices and time-stretching capabilities optimized for drum loops. Related plugins are the Fruity Slicer and
Edison.
Using Slicex
- Loading & slicing samples: Slicex can load and slice two independent samples/loops into decks A and B (accessed from the Wave Editor).
After loading Slicex into a channel:
- Drag samples from the Browser and drop them onto the plugin channel or interface.
- Click on the grey Slicex logo that shows on the left side of the Articulation panel (prior to loading a sample).
- Click on an empty Wave editor window to open a file browser.
- Click on the File icon on the Wave editor to open a file browser.
Slicex will then load and automatically slice loaded samples (deck A is used unless the sample is deliberately dropped on deck B). Sliced 'regions' can then be played from the Piano roll or external controller.
- Editing samples: Slicex includes a Wave Editor with all the power of Edison, so you can edit, mangle, process and tweak slices to perfection.
- Express yourself: Programmed variations are the key to expressive control and Slicex has infinite variation as a design principle. Any number of regions, within and between decks, can be layered/crossfaded using the settings on the
Master Panel. Region slices may be assigned to any or all keys. All the while, these samples and layers are under the control of the articulator section that includes filters, envelopes, LFOs and more.
- Think outside the loop: Yes, Slicex is the perfect loop/beat slicer and percussion powerhouse. Slicex will process any source audio with ease - why not try it on melodic parts, vocals, guitar tracks
or whole songs! The creative and sonic possibilities are endless.
