Author Post BattleDrone 2161... the future. Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 6,413 Helpfulness rating:  Been playing with the FL slicer last night, only to discover that it's not really top notch (I guess). I want to replace a certain slice with a one shot sample, but this seems to be impossible (checked the FL bible and it doesn't mention this possibilitiy at all). Am I missing the point here? If not, could you advice me some other slicer which could do the job? __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 05-04-2006 13:18 Friscko Aron Tinnitus Registration Date: 12-03-2005 Posts: 4,467 Helpfulness rating:  just play the sample with a sampler channel on the place it would be with the slicer, and dont play the slice u want to replace? __ www.myspace.com/arontinnitus www.myspace.com/djfriscko 05-04-2006 14:10 TechDiff Hetty Jakes Pretentious Cheese Wog Registration Date: 14-06-2005 Posts: 1,028 Helpfulness rating:  That kinda defeats the whole point of the slicer in the first place. It sounds like your after a mappable sample rather than a slicer. If you want to change that one slice, you could always open the wave up in a wave editor and find the slice your after and paste the sample you want over the top. Alternitively you could always open that sample up in a normal sampler since this will give you more controll over it. 05-04-2006 14:25 Muad'Dib Andrejnalin Registration Date: 02-12-2003 Posts: 4,197 Helpfulness rating:  It is better like this, and this issue comes from another point: the sliced rhythm is also a sample, so you can't put a standalone sample in another standalone sample - that's illogical. __ Thinking about becoming an Image-Line/FL Studio customer?

It takes time to work in pianoroll and the have to switch to the pattern mode, and put this certain drumhit in a sampler. If you could have everything in just one window it would be the best. For now on I always work by change from pianoroll/patternwindow. There is one thing that you can do thou, and that is to work in piano roll. Then you can change sample by choosing in a menu that is located on the top of the pianorollwindow.

I find this very unpractical, unless you have a totally robotic drumline which was played on beat everytime so you would not really need a second piano roll. You see there doesn't seem to be a possiblity to open 2 piano rolls at the same time. I'm still convinced that replacing the slices with oneshots inside the slicer is much better than using an external audio editor that doesn't recognize the different beats (atleast mine (cool edit 2000) doesn't). IMO a slicer is just a sampler with some extra possiblities, so why shouldn't it offer this rather basic functionality for samplers? Let's face it, it would be damn handy to replace just one instrument in a break. I'm sure your (al of you) advice does the job, but I think it could be much more comfortable to work this way. after some googling I discovered that phatmatik pro can do this (but it's a €149.50 plugin :-( ) __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 05-04-2006 23:19 Muad'Dib Andrejnalin Registration Date: 02-12-2003 Posts: 4,197 Helpfulness rating:  You are right, but I guess they haven't figured this out yet. Why don't you petition this to them? Write them a letter describing what would you like to see in the next FL release __ Thinking about becoming an Image-Line/FL Studio customer?

Just in case you didn't know: if you click the top bar of the piano roll window, you get a dropdown menu with the samples and plugins in the step sequencer, by selecting one you can start editing it in the piano roll. It isn't the perfect solution, but it sure works faster than switching back to the step sequencer and opening another piano roll from there. __ The mysteries of the distorted snare...
