Divide X—so Auto Chop divides the sample into the desired
number of equal-size slices. In a way, this is similar to Beat, but may
work better for you if you’re not used to thinking in beats. Divide X
works well with drum-machine loops.
For each Chop Type, there’s another parameter to set.
If your Chop Type is: Set: To:
Level Level 1-6. A setting of 6 places chop
points at only the loudest spots
in the sample. To dig out quieter
sounds, try lower values.
Beat Beat the type of beat you want to use
for placing chop points.
Divide X Times the desired number of evenly
sized slices, from 2-96
When you’re ready, click Execute. Auto Chop presents you with a set of
chop points to try out.

In the lower left-hand corner of the window, you can
see the pads that’ll play your slices—they’re pink. The
MV-8800 automatically uses as many pads as the sounds in your sample
require.
Play each slice’s pad to hear its sound and check out the suggested
chop point. As you strike a pad, its slice is selected and the display
shows its location in the sample.
If you like the chop points, proceed to Step 9.
If you like what you’ve got but want to make a small adjustment to any
slice, strike its pad to select the slice, and then adjust its Chop Point
parameter value.
The Chop Point location is shown as 12-digit number. You can
individually select and change any of its digits to move the chop point.
Change digits to the left to move the chop point by larger amounts, or
use digits to the right to move it by smaller amounts.
If you want to try again completely, click Auto Chop, change your
settings as desired, and then click Execute.
Once you’ve got the chop points the way you want them, click
AssgnToPatch—the CHOP QUICK ASSIGN window appears.
The outlined
pads pads will
play your slices.
If you want to play the slices from an attached MIDI keyboard, the
gray keys show you the notes to play. These keys use the same MIDI
notes as the slices’ pads.
