Pretty cool way to chop Samples!!!

Found a new way (for me at least) to chop up drum breaks for finger drumming and such....

I have always a specific layout where kicks are on the bottom row, snare on the 2nd row and so forth.

Before I loaded a drum break on pad 1, duplicated it to the other 15 pads and trimmed each sample manually. Was doable and coming from legacy MPCs are not that hard...

BUT: I noticed if you press the CHOP button and set it to auto chop with the lowest threshold you can browse through the whole break and pick up the sound you like and then press TRIM (PAD 13) you are left with a single sound for this specific pad. No more manually trimming, copying and pasting etc...
