Beat Agent Sound Editing
On the Edit page for instrument pads, you set up the sound of the kits.
Slice Tab
On the Slice tab, you can slice audio loops and automatically map the slices to instrument pads. During this process, a MIDI track is created and is associated with the first empty pattern pad.
Automatically Classifying Drum Sounds
The Slice page offers a sophisticated Classify Slices feature to analyze sliced drum loops. This function analyzes the slices and assigns them automatically to one of five basic classes: kick, snare, hihat, tom, and percussion.
Replacing Slices With Slices of the Same Drum Class

Replacing Slices With Slices of the Same Drum Class

In the Pattern editor, you can set all notes that belong to slices of the same drum class to a specific key out of that drum class. This way, all notes of a drum class play with the same slice. If some of the kick slices play in combination with a hihat and other kick slices play alone, you can set all notes of the kick class to a slice that plays alone. This allows for a more consistent sound.

Procedure

Load a sliced drum loop.
Classify the slices.
Open the Pattern editor, right-click the slice that you want to use for playing all note events of that drum class, and select Set Notes of Same Class to [key].

Result

The notes of the other slices of the same class are set to the key of the slice that you selected.
