It seems to be a resampling tool, which is fine. I was trying to use it along side other tracks so changing tempo wasn’t the obvious choice for speeding the sample up.
I use the repitch machine to drop some drum break loop on my pattern without changing the tempo.
Sometime the tempo of the drum break and my project tempo is almost the same, the repitch don’t break that much the sound but keep every elements and groove like ghost kick or late hi-hat. Werp can loose some late elements. Slice loose the groove.
I tried to test out the slicer on the lyn collins think break at 113 bpm. The loop is the same tempo as the project but no matter how I set the grid, the slice points don’t come close to lining up with the transients of the drum hits. What am I doing wrong?
@kaveets24 Check if the end of the recording is set in time,too. Had the same problem, turned out my loops had a tail that’s a bit longer than the 4-bar-loop itself. Since the digi doesn’t scan for beats, but just devides the sample into equal parts, slices will come out wrong.
I was just thinking this to myself. I imagine there’s some dead air at the end. Although I thought I created this loop in ableton… but will double check! Thanks for the advice!
If you sampled directly from the original track, it could be that the timing internally in the breakbeat “ebbs and flows” a bit. It is groovy as hell, but not played to a click track
If you want it to be tight on each slice, I would cut it up manually at the right transients, then re-sequence at the most suitable average tempo, re sample it at the right number of bars, and then you can drop it in the slice machine.
Recording length, slice and sample rate reduction are my favourite features. I was too lazy to resample before even though it’s such an amazing way to create new sounds. Now it’s easier I just want to experiment constantly - which is my preferred way to work.
Me too (having OT). And I couldn’t stand to be unable to make PERFECT loops, sample chains (except recording with the max 33s, at 75 bpm).
Total game changer. Make a loop, record with CTR ALL, slice and play the recording, record automation, lfos on slices select, mix, rince and repeat, lfo on slots…
I use my Digitakt so much more in standalone thanks to this update! But now I think it will make me buy the Octatrack as I would like more FX per track
I just sliced up the Super Mario World Vanilla Dome tune last night. 64 slices (32 per pattern) over two 64-note patterns, song mode to alternate between the two, and then my own layer of drums over top. I need to tighten up the timings a tiny bit, but will post it afterward. It was a lot of fun.
Not really as everyone is using the same old breaks and chopping them the same way.
It all still sounds like it did in the 90’s with very little innovation.
