Q

FL STUDIO - Slicex
What is Slicex?

A
  • 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.
  • —Related plugins are the Fruity Slicer and Edison.

Q

FL STUDIO - Slicex
To play a region (slice) use the Keyboard panel, the Piano roll or an external controller. If you Right-click a region this plays the raw audio without any articulation settings, so it may sound different to the Keyboard/Piano roll method.

Q

FL STUDIO - Slicex - Manipulating Regions (Slices)
Manual tempo setting using a selection

A

-You can improve many auto-slicing functions by manually setting the tempo properties of the sample. Highlight a part of the audio that you know to be an exact # of beats, then the properties dialog (F2) will show ‘Selection (beats)’ instead of ‘Length (beats)’. If 4 beats were highlighted (for example), enter 4, and the tempo of the song should be detected.
Manual grid/tempo alignment using downbeat - As some options slice according to the background grid, you may want to try manually aligning the grid to the beat. Right-Ctrl + Right-Shift + Click on the location in the sample where the first downbeat marker is to be set, hold and drag horizontally to fine-tune the position if needed. Then, release the mouse button and click again with the Right-Ctrl + Right-Shift keys still held (drag left/right) to adjust the grid spacing to align the grid to the beat.

Q

FL STUDIO - Slicex - Manipulating Regions (Slices)
Perfecting slices

A

-After loading the sample/loop there are two possibilities depending on the sample/loop that was loaded:
The gaps between slices are pre-filled. Pre-made Slicex loops and REX files will often be ready to play without further processing (if the author knew how to make a correctly sliced loop).

Gaps or clicks can be heard between slices. In this case, start by adjust the slice points manually (if needed). Clicking on the small tab at the top of the slice markers and moving them appropriately, this may solve your problems, if not then try:

Tools > Regions > Declick out all regions OR
Tools > Regions > Perfect all regions depending on what sounds best. Declick out is usually better than ‘perfect’ for drumloops, as it only smooths the decay portion leaving the attack transients untouched. OR
Tools > Time > Drum(loop) stretch can be done globally, or per-slice for more accuracy. This methods overwrites the original sample data (a destructive edit), explaining why it is not done automatically. The stretch method is best used when drum sounds are already cut too short and you can’t afford losing even more of the decay de-clicking slices.
NOTE: Slicex’s own sampler has a real-time declicker, but if the decay is already short, Slicex can’t do magic.

Q

FL STUDIO - Slicex - Manipulating Regions (Slices)
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.

Envelopes

A
  • Associated with each articulator are a number of envelopes.
  • -There are two rows of tabs, the top row selects the modulator target while the bottom row selects the modulation source.
  • –In other words, for each target in the top row there are a range of sources affecting how that target is modulated below.

Q

FL STUDIO - Slicex - Articulation Panel
Modulation targets include what?

A
  • PAN - Affects the stereo panning of the bank.
  • -VOL - Affects the volume output of the bank.
  • –CUT (Filter Cut) - Affects the filter cut-off frequency of the bank. This interacts with the CUT parameter (above) and the filter type switches.
  • —RES - Affects the resonance of the filter selected.
  • —-SPEED - Playback speed. Scratching: This envelope can be used to go forwards/backwards in time. To pause playback use a setting of -25%. Below this setting the sample will play backwards. Normal reverse speed is a setting of -50%. Curved lines will create accelerations or decelerations in speed.
  • —–START - Playback start position. There are Options > Settings to limit the variability to the first 100 ms or allow this to vary over the entire sample duration.

Q

FL STUDIO - Slicex - Articulation Panel
Modulation sources may include what?

A
  • ENV - General purpose envelope.
  • -LFO - An Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) envelope.
  • –VEL - Velocity as a modulator (usually used with VOL) . Input velocity is on the horizontal axis, low input velocities (0%) to the left, high (100%) to the right. Playing a note with this envelope open will show the current velocity as vertical line.
  • —MOD X - Determines how the X parameter of integrated X/Y controller responds to X position changes.
  • —-MOD Y - Determines how the Y parameter of integrated X/Y controller responds to Y position changes.
  • —–RAND - Random number generator. A random number is selected in the range of 0% to 100%. The envelope defines how the random number relates to changes in the controlled property. The value of the envelope at a particular location defines how likely the value will be selected by the random generator, allowing you to fine tune the behavior or the random generator and effectively defining the “chances” of certain values being selected.

  • -There is an additional manipulation of the waveform phase that can sometimes eek out a few more dB gain.
  • –The process is considered ‘lossy’ as it changes the waveform phase, although it should sound identical to the standard Normalization.

Mixdown Envelopes
Pan - To edit the Pan envelope.
Volume - To edit the Volume envelope.
Stereo Separation - To edit the Stereo Separation envelope.
All-purpose Envelope - Some tools in Slicex will use this envelope as an input. The horizontal axis represents time while the vertical axis is the modulation value, generally 0% at the bottom to 100% at the top. There are three ways to use the envelope -
1. Copy the sample, apply an effect, tweak the all-purpose envelope, use the ‘Paste mix using envelope’ option from the Edit menu.
2. Apply an effect, tweak the all-purpose envelope, use the ‘Undo mix envelope’ option from the Edit menu.
3. Scratching - Select ‘Scratch using envelope’ from the Tools menu. In scratching, the horizontal axis represents time while the vertical axis is the sample playback position from the sample start (bottom) to the sample end (top).
Preview - As there is no ‘live’ preview for the ‘All-purpose’ envelope in Slicex, you will need to process the wave to hear envelope changes. To hear your envelopes, select the ‘Tools’ option and then Mixdown envelope or (Ctrl+E) to process the wave. The undo function can be used to reverse any unwanted changes.

Editing envelopes - After selecting the desired envelope type, Right-click in the ‘Sample Editor Window’ to add points, and Left-click to move points and tension markers. Right-click points to open a context menu that will allow you to delete points or change the curve type

Feature Switches
These switches vary, depending on the Edit mode, from left to right:

Freeze - Prevents any changes to the sample.
Noise T. - Enables/disables the threshold display (green horizontal band). The level can be set using the Tools > Acquire noise threshold menu function.
Regions - Enables/disables the region marker display.
Step - Enables the step editing mode. As a Left-clicked cursor is dragged over the window a new control point is added at each step in the timeline. Hold SHIFT while dragging to draw “pulse” lines (straight vertical/horizontal lines only). Note that each new segment created will have the most recent tension setting applied.
Snap - Enables/disables snapping. This applies to envelopes and sample edit functions.
Slide - Slides the selected region marker & envelope control points, without affecting the relative positions of any following points.
Note how the cursor changes depending on whether you are in Freeze or Edit mode. In Freeze mode you won’t be able to make any changes.

Info
Title - Name the sample.
Comments - These comments will show in the sample properties.
Format
Samplerate (Hz) - Set the samplerate.
Resample (switch) - Selecting this switch forces resampling of the sample data to the desired samplerate. If this switch is off the sample rate only changes the playback samplerate (speed) without modifying the data. For example, choose to either resample data to 22kHz (data reduction), or to play existing data at 22kHz (pitch-shift).
Format - Choose between 16-Bit integer & 32-Bit floating point formats. Mono or Stereo.
NOTE: Slicex automatically converts data to 32-Bit before applying any function that modifies the sample data. It is better to apply several edits in 32-Bit floating point, then convert to 16-Bit integer after you have completed editing the sample than to apply several edits in 16-Bit integer

Tempo
Tempo (BPM) - Set tempo in Beats Per Minute. If ‘tempo-sync’ is selected setting a tempo here will cause FL Studio to stretch/pitch-shift the sample according to this value when loaded.
Round: Round the tempo (removes decimals).
Limit: Correct any double/half tempo problems (range options appear when the button is selected).
Resample (switch) - Forces a high-quality resample of the data when the sample rate is changed (recommended).
Length (beats) / Sel (beats) - Enter the number of beats in the sample or selection. ‘Sel (beats)’ appears if a selection has been made. Used when slicing & beat detecting (see below).
Round: Round the number of beats (removes decimals).
Tempo-sync:
Default - Set the BPM to the FL Studio project tempo.
Quick guess - or songs with a constant tempo).
Autodetect - Select to choose from three options:
Quick estimation for short loops - Quick tempo-detection based on the host tempo and the length of the sample.
Detection for songs with constant tempo - This algorithmic tempo-detection generally gives the most accurate result, but requires constant tempo tracks.
Detection for songs with variable tempo - This algorithmic tempo-detection has been tuned for songs that don’t have a constant tempo.
NOTE: An alternative tempo detection technique is to highlight a part of the audio that you know to be an exact # of beats, then, in the properties dialog, the display will show ‘select (beats)’ instead of ‘length (beats)’. If 4 beats were highlighted (for example), enter 4, and the tempo of the song should be detected.

Middle note (root note) - Selects the MIDI note at which the sample will play back at the original (recorded) pitch. This data is used by samplers such as DirectWave and the Channel Sampler to automatically set the 'root' note.
low: Set the lowest intended MIDI note the sample should play on.
high: Set the highest intended MIDI note the sample should play on.
Fine tune (cents) - Fine tune the intended pitch of the sample in 1/100ths of a semi-tone.
Default - Restore default settings.
Autodetect - Autodetect the pitch of the sample. Use on monophonic single-pitch sounds only.
