pioneer toraiz sp-16 and DJS-1000 can also do this. Here they call it Hotslice:

Yeah it’s pretty standard functionality in samplers with slice.

I’m really hoping this can be implemented soon, the request was first raised on the previous polyend GitHub 4 years ago.

Maybe it is nearing the top of the list? Would make a massive difference to those of us chopping samples and breaks.

It is nr. 6 on most voted features and soon nr. 5, when our mods has closed the “Sampling over USB” wish :wink:

Hello, when do you add this to the firmware?

Amigo Sampler is a cool little damn thing!

I’m a relatively new Tracker Mini user but for me this is my main feature request. I’ve dug in a bit and there are for sure alternatives, but:

  • Using the position FX command is fine for slower tempos, shorter samples and material that isn’t groove critical, but isn’t really it for breaks or rhythmic samples. I guess you could get into the weeds in combination with micro timing, but really not great for flow
  • Prepping rotated samples and creating chains takes a lot of the chopping process into the computer, at which point why not just do it all in the computer?
  • Copying the sample/instrument and adjusting the start point right now seems to be the best way of doing this - it’s still relatively quick and focused. But gets confusing quickly once you have more than a couple of chops, and if you want to make adjustments to the sample - e.g. pitch or effects - then the options are to either resample or go in to each version individually and make the changes. Also, while I doubt this will ever become a big issue in reality, it eats up a lot of relatively limited device memory to have multiple versions of the same sample.

I think this kind of work is a place where trackers excel, so this change would be very welcome. Ideally in combination with some kind of repitch suggester as seen in Renoise, Koala Sampler and elsewhere.

Is there any update to this feature request. I’ve tried the workarounds and to be honest a simple Play Thru option on the Beat Slice mode would be awesome…

We live in hope…
