It’s worth mentioning that there are two sample slice presets that try to do their best given the technical limitations. Both detect transients, but they offer different actions with the resulting slices.
- Bitwig Preset: Sample Slicer gets closer to the expected feature of auto-slice and then having each slice available in your keys or pads controller.
- Bitwig Preset: Sample Slice-o-Tron puts the sample on a loop and allows the selection of slices, also in reverse play.
Both can be considered interesting (and rather complex) experiments and nothing that alleviates the need of a native and user-friendly feature to slice audio in the Sampler.
