SLICE The SLICE effect is sample based effect creating a rhythmic re sequencing of the audio aka glitch or stutter of your audio This can be anything from simple repeating beats similar to a drummer playing extra beats for a drum fill or a skipping CD to full blown audio chaos The SLICE effect is different from the other effects in that the audio playback continues to move under the SLICE effect even though you will only hear a portion of the audio around the point at which you engaged the SLICE effect and if SLICE is on when you press the PLAY PAUSE button audio will continue until you turn SLICE off When SLICE is disengaged the song position will be at the position it would have been had you not engaged the effect The TIME RATE knob controls the time length of the individual slices as well as the number of different slices played The FREQ AMOUNT knob increases both the number of effects Repeat Reverse Normal Playback for set length of time like a loop applied to the slices as well how often the effects occur with total random effects at the maximum setting such as reverses stops etc At the maximum settings a full random re sequencing of your audio is occurring while at the lowest settings a repeatable and unchanging audio loop occurs Note the SLICE effect can be used as tempo synced sampler effect you can take a loop of audio by setting the TIME RATE knob to the desired beat length and then the FREQ AM
