Yes, I was looking for the same thing yesterday and was disappointed not to find that feature
Iāll take a look at this tomorrow after work, doesnāt seem like it will be too much effort to add in.

Ok, v1.4.1 is pushed with this change and is deployed as the main already - Iāve also been doing some prep work to (hopefully) hit the requirements for submission to the Microsoft app store on this version.
The default is 3 seconds, but if you shift+click the Truncate action button, you will be prompted to enter your own value.
Hereās a custom value of 0.3
The editor got a UI reshuffle too to fit in the extra button.

Hello. Noob working with samples chains so maybe Iām doing something wrong. Im creating the chains using the spaced chain button with 8 samples, but on very short
samples Iām hearing play continous slices (just like it was rettriggering). It looks like the easey solution to this is by adjunsting the amp on the digitakt. Iām not having these problem with bassdrums samples, I guess because the samples are longer. Any other solutions like introducing silence after every slice maybe? Thanks!!

What browser are you using and also, what length are your samples?
I have been making 64 chain wave tables using 4096 samples (0.853s) per slice and not noticed any issues.
Whe you say itās retriggering, do you mean that the last slice is repeating? If thatās the case, then the sample grid also needs to be set to the desired chain length (so the ā8ā button needs to be active).

I think I was using chrome. I will check tonight all the process and report back.
If i remember correctly I used the 8 button bar and on the digitakt set slices length and grid at 8.
Thanks for anwsering.

@brian3kb brilliant updates over the last few weeks, just been testing them after a few weeks away. I do have a feature request though, slices based on BPM with a 1st slice offset from the beginning of the sample.
I think you have most of the tools already in DigiChain, so maybe itās really a use case request. Here my use case:
I record 5->20 minute Jams and like to extract shorter x-bar loops from it to reuse a later date. Iād like to slice based on a user specified tempo and for 1/2/4/8 bars. The only thing stopping me at the moment is the silence at the start and end of the recording varies and the zoom in DigiChain doesnāt allow me to get precise enough on a large file. A start offset option might help, where you can enter ss.hh as on offset for the 1st slice to start. Or perhaps I could create my own tape.JSON - Is there an example of the format? (I donāt have OP or Octatrack).

also found a bug (macOS/Chrome) when trying to edit the āFile Nameā, when typing in the new name it randomly stops entering what I type, probably related to keyboard short cuts, as typing āEā seems to end my input (CNTL or SHIFT buttons were not selected):

Thanks! Iāve been looking at slice by bar with a user specified tempo on the slice panel, that will likely land in the next update I push out.

Thanks for reporting this, Iāll take a look and see whatās causing it, as the grid keyboard shortcuts should be inactive when any of the panels are visible.

This bug is now fixed 
For anyone who did install from the MS Store, you may need to right-click anywhere on the UI and click āRefreshā to update immediately - otherwise the auto-update will only sync every 24 hours.
I also pushed through some re-work of the start/end point selection and zooming of the waveform.
There are still upper/lower zoom limits as rendering too large a canvas can cause crashes, so itās capped at a reasonably long enough size to get several more levels of zoom than were previously visible.
Start/End buttons control what the mouse click/touch will be setting. (You can still Shift+Click to set the end point when the Start button is active though). The All button will re-select the whole waveform, as even Iāve annoyed myself having to open and close the edit panel to get the start at 0 again!

I like the chain link logo 
Iām really stoked to have this on my desktop since sometimes I have to go dark in order to be productive. really grateful for all your work, just downloaded and appreciate it man!

Hello I solved the problem. Let me explain what was happening. I had an LFO modulating the slice select. Turns out that on very short samples if the LFO goes to fast it sounds like is retriggering or playing many slices, I really dont know. I solved it by using the random LFO waveform and setting the depth and speed really low. That way I can create some sample chains with round robin hits and have the lfo play different slices on every hit. App is amazing thank you!!

Awesome! Good to hear confirmation itās not an issue with the files themselves 
Which machine ? Sounds similar to something I encountered with M:S.
It happened with the slice machine.t
