SLC: Slicer

The SLC module is a sample slicer with its own step sequencer. It cuts a sound file into DIV equal slices and plays them back in the order the grid sets.

Each step in the grid holds a slice number rather than an on/off trigger. Click or drag a step to the height of the slice it plays, from 1 to DIV; at the bottom it plays nothing. FN1-drag copies a beat, and the right-click menu works as in the Grid Sequencer. The FN2 and SHIFT edits there do not apply. Set each beat’s resolution as in SEQ.

Its LFO can follow a trigger other than the module’s own, chosen with TRIG in the LFO panel. See also Trigger Source.

Parameter	Description
M (Activator Switch)	Turns the module on or off. The M key does the same by default.
PRESET	Stores and recalls the module’s settings and pattern. See also Preset Selector.
BEAT	Sets the length of the pattern, from 1 to 32 beats.
TRIG	Sets the chance that a programmed step plays. At 100% every step plays; at 0% none do.
ADD	Sets the chance of an extra hit on a step that is empty or did not play. The extra hit plays a random slice.
ROTATE BUTTONS	Shift the pattern by one step or by a whole beat, in either direction.
SHUFFLE	Rewrites the pattern once, using TRIG and ADD: each programmed step is kept at the TRIG chance, and each remaining step gets a random slice at the ADD chance.
CLEAR	Empties the pattern.
FILE MENU	Selects the sound file. See also Sound File Menu.
BAR	Stretches the whole file to this many bars, from 0 to 32, so it stays in time with the BPM. At 0 (the default) the file plays at its own speed.
DIV	Sets the number of slices, from 1 to 128.
LFO MENU	Shows the LFO’s shape and targets. Click to open the LFO panel. Targets: SPD, GRN, SUS, DRV, HPF, LPF, RES, DL1, DL2, RVB, LEV. See also LFO.
LFO	Adjusts the frequency of the LFO.
AMT	Adjusts the amount of LFO modulation.
CV	Chance that the trigger reaches the FX, the sends, the mixer, and the trigger outputs. See also Trigger Events (CV).
BUS	Where the sound goes, in any combination. SEND enables the DL1, DL2, and RVB dials. See also Audio Bus.
SPD	Adjusts the playback speed, from -1 to +1. 1 (the default) is normal speed.
GRN	Adjusts the amount of granulation. Above 0 the slices are played by grains instead of straight playback.
SUS	Sets the level each slice falls to after its short decay and holds until the next slice, from 0 to 127. At 0 (the default) each slice is a short hit.
DRV	Adjusts the amount of overdrive.
HPF	Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter.
LPF	Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter.
RES	Adjusts the resonance amount of the high-pass and low-pass filter.
DL1	Adjusts the send level to DL1.
DL2	Adjusts the send level to DL2.
RVB	Adjusts the send level to RVB.
LEV	Adjusts the output level.
