You can not chop samples in Directwave

Not Entirely True
you can use the zones to have a different start points
so for example you can have a zone range on one octave that starts at the begining
and another zone range on the next octave and that start at 25% or something

it the same as NN-XT in Reason

Not really the same thing.You cannot zoom in to made a cut like a real editor

Dw

Chop with Edison
Export the regions[chops] to a folder on your Hard Drive
open Direct Wave
Right click on the Program Button at the top of direct wave
Add samples
Browse for the folder that you exported your regions to
Map as drumKit

As FrankPain stated Edison is a much quicker way to chop up samples.
Here's a youtube link: [ame]www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-JiEg1lajo[/ame]

or you can set your chops up with edison and drag them all to a slicer channel which will automap the samples across your keyboard

Edison is so dope. You can even record into it, like the video shows, which is reminiscent of the way hardware samplers worked. It's sick. Here is another tutorial also that NFX did: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y5rAdi-VWI"]YouTube - Warbeats Fruity Loops Tutorial - Using Edison to Chop[/ame]
Phat tutorial as well. Enjoy!

YEAH I WOULD SUGGEST..................

USIN' EDISON then movin the cut samples into Directwave.......................

and for ol Boy who never heard of directwave itz....HOT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It can play MAD SAMPLE FORMATS and its a vsti so u can us it in any VSTi Host..................

flstudio, cubase, nuendo, live etc........................

FL Studio has always done sample playback. But up until now, creating a multisample (a keyboard layout containing numerous samples) has been something of a chore. DirectWave changes all that. This full-featured multisampler is just the ticket, whether you need realistic horns and strings or a full drum kit that you can play from a MIDI keyboard. DirectWave's factory library includes choir, guitar, piano, organ, ethnic percussion, and much more.

With DirectWave's intuitive user interface (see Fig. 3), you can map samples across the keyboard and even give each its own upper and lower Velocity limits for more expressive playback from a keyboard. Sample loading is drag-and-drop. Each sample can have its own settings for two filters, two LFOs, and other useful modules. DirectWave has both sample-level effects (ring mod, decimator, quantizer, and phaser) and global effects (delay, reverb, and chorus). Furthermore, it can import WAV, SF2, Battery, Giga, Akai S-5000, EXS24, Amiga Mod, ReCycle, and Kontakt samples, giving you access to an abundance of sample libraries.


VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
