Export Sliced Audio to Individual .Wav Files

Ryan Christman

I'm trying to sample some sounds and then place them into a folder located on my hard drive. I would like to export the slices on each pad as individual .wav files and store them in a user folder so that I can load them individual samples in later projects. I haven't figured out how to do this though.

If I right click on each individual sound after the sample has been spliced onto pads, the options are "Save As" or "Save With Samples". If I do "Save As", it doesn't save the sound as a .wav file which apparently means that I can't navigate to it with the browser. If I choose "Save with Samples", it generates a .wav file but it's the entire audio sample and not the individual sounds that I'm looking for.

What should I do?

ERC!

FWIW, I was hoping this would be a feature too. Maschine+ is a standalone instrument but also an excellent companion for other tools. I'm currently sampling vocals on Maschine+ that I want to bring onto a Polyend Play+. I thought the slices I made and applied to Sounds could be exported into their own wav files ("pre-chopped") for the other device. Instead, the best I can work with is the whole sample wav. I either slice it on my computer or set sample start on the destination device, which is the path I've chosen so far.

From look at the manual via the link above, it looks like you may be able to work around by dragging each slice to a new group, then exporting each group (can’t remember if you can export them individual sounds, have a feeling you can’t, so you’d need to make each slice a group - but someone may correct me if I’m wrong here)

There’s some discussion of how to do this with truncation on this thread, too:

I’ve been looking into this - have a look at this video from three minutes in:

If you have your slices mapped out to different pads, and therefore different ‘sounds’(there are other videos and topics to describe how to do this), exporting in ‘keyboard view’ may give you what you want. I haven’t tested it, but it may be worth a try - let us know how it goes. This video will also give you vital info on how to save cpu and get more done!
