sampler
Slicing a sample across the keys
On a drum sampler track, cuts that key's sample into slices spread over the keyboard — at its transients, into equal parts, or where you tap.
Slicing turns one recording into a playable kit. Transient suits drums with clear hits, even suits loops cut to the grid, and tap marks musical phrases by ear while the sample plays.
