Slicex uses advanced beat detection algorithms to slice song/percussion samples into pieces and make them independently playable from the Piano roll or controller. If the wave file contains slice/region data this will be automatically used instead of the beat-detection algorithm. Slicex offers playback, reordering of slices and time-stretching capabilities optimized for drum loops.
Layering slices
Slicex has a range of powerful layering tools that will give your sliced loops the creative edge. Right-click a slices region-marker tab and select 'Trigger note', then select your piano key. Once you assign another slice to the same key the layering options on the Master panel will provide more creative options.
Editing samples
Slicex includes a Wave Editor with all the power of Edison, so you can edit, mangle, process and tweak slices to perfection.
Express yourself
Programmed variations are the key to expressive control and Slicex has infinite variation as a design principle. Any number of regions, within and between decks, can be layered/crossfaded using the settings on the Master Panel. Region slices may be assigned to any or all keys. All the while, these samples and layers are under the control of the articulator section that includes filters, envelopes, LFOs and more.
Think outside the loop
Yes, Slicex is the perfect loop/beat slicer and percussion powerhouse however, Slicex will process any source audio with equal ease - why not try it on melodic parts, vocals, guitar tracks or whole songs! The creative and sonic possibilities are endless.
