Consolidate Chops Across Pads To One Pad?

I have a very similar question to the one in this thread http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?t=174454&highlight=map and cannot for the life of me find a solution. I chop my samples in the same "set start and end points, duplicate to the next pad and repeat" process. I would like to take all of my chops and map them on one pad in keyboard mode without having to truncate them or turn them into separate audio files in case I have to go back and edit them later. When I chop my sample with this method and have more than 16 chops, I have to put the other chops in a new group. The problem with this is the choking function doesn't seem to work across groups despite the sample's polyphony or choke group setting. My chops in group A won't cut off the chops in group B etc. If we can take all of our chops that we make and assign them to a pad on the keyboard roll, then we can have over 100 chops, all with the polyphony set to 1 and play them out with ease. I just don't know if this is possible or not. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

Just hit apply in the sample slice screen.

 

There is no apply option in edit mode though, only in slice mode. I use the edit mode/duplicate method to chop samples.

 

Seems obvious for what you want to stop using edit mode and use slice instead. Why are you set on using duplicate and edit if slice gives you the exact result you are seeking? Note that after you hit apply, you can still go to the sound and fine tune each chop in edit mode with overlap. So slice, then apply, then go to edit and adjust each slice. If you don't need the new pattern it creates then just hit shift + clear to delete it.

BTW. there currently is no copy paste functionality inside the map feature for a single sound. But that would seem long winded for what you want to do even if it was there.

 

I thought when editing the chops via this method still tweaks the ones on each side (ie. the end of the first chop is the beginning of the second) and that the only way to get overlap is to duplicate the sample and then change the sample start/end points?

 

Nope. Maschine's slicing is nondestructive and lets you overlap slices.

 

Exactly! Keep in mind that after you slice and hit apply that you tweak them further in the regular sample edit. Don't go back to slice edit.

 

OHHHHHhhhhhh... there's my problem!
