How to Chop up Vocals in Ableton With Launchpad
Ableton Live's "Slice to MIDI Track" feature allows you to slice a vocal track to each of Launchpad's buttons for remixing and editing purposes. The "Slide to MIDI Track" feature lets you select to either slice the vocal by its warp markers, or by specific note timing. Once the track has been split, it will appear in a new MIDI channel, which can be played by each of the buttons on the Novation Launchpad MIDI controller.
