Slicing and note names

Tracker

I cannot find this in the manual so let me ask it here.
I recorded a sample of a piano. I played C2, C3 , C4 … to C6 and recorded this into 1 sample.

My question, is how can I use slicing feature to have the different octaves used? If I visit the “Sample playback “ screen I can add slicing. What I wonder though is how the slices are assigned note values. I know that I can use the “S” on the fx track to select a different slice at playback.
Currently I hear my C2 slice if I enter C5 S1 and I hear my C3 slicd if I enter C5 S 2 and so on.
But it seems wrong that I cannot use the octaves in the pitch column directly, so I wondered is there a way to tell the tracker which slice is which pitch and save this somehow in the instrument?

Regards,
Jan

No direct note values, if you use beat slice they are assigned values starting from C2 (or the note in your grid at the most top left) and going from there and sequentially one semitone up till the end of the row and then starting again on the next C (in my case C3).

If you use direct slice, then you need to use the slice FX to select the slice. The note column will just pitch accordingly whatever slice you pick but I guess that always assigning the sample slice your root note as starting point.

But sadly you cannot assign the note as far as I know…but it will make for a good feature request/wish.
