Splitting up clips for Matrix

WZ,

Apparently I am a zero resplies kind of browser. I dont know how to do what your asking but it sounds like as long as v1 can split where you put the cursor, you could slowly do it, which is better than nothing. Maybe there is a faster way, dont know. Maybe someone will see this BUMP and answer.
later

EDIT: more experimenting. Some of this is just taking the time to learn the program better. The best way to make splits of MIDI data intended for the matrix is to make the splits in the editor, not the arrange pane. In the editor, place a marker where you want your beginning split to take place. Move the cursor to the right of that marker, right click on the editor screen and choose "split from marker". Now place a marker where the right edge of your clip will be. Place the cursor to the left of that marker, right-click on the editor screen and choose "Split until marker". Works great, and now the thing to do is try it with audio.

Okay. Audio works just fine, too. In the case of audio, make the splits in the arrange pane, not the editor. After creating a clip (by splitting or slip editing an existing audio clip), right-click on it and choose groove-clip looping. Now you can drag that clip to the matrix and just that short clip will play, not the entire original audio clip.

Yea, that works great! I'll remember that one.

That's very true, yet even so, I've found it quite helpful to have them split in the arrange pane, which better allows me to use the now time bar to show me where the starting marker should be moved before using 'Split from marker'.

I forgot to mention before, that it is also necessary to unlink the split pattern pieces you are going to be editing, so be certain not edit them before unlinking them. If you don't unlink them, you'll edit all the split parts simultaneously.
