Change one sample Chop without changing the others

Click a Chop in the waveform, choose Edit Chop, then change Pitch, Time, Filter or another page. Only that Chop changes. Whole Sample is where you change the sound for every Chop at once.

Updated 7 November 2026 · S9 Audio

Use it when one vocal word needs tuning, one hit needs a shorter tail or one section needs a different effect, without making extra tracks.

For S9 Sampler 0.1.6 (paid beta). More help inside the app: Help & Shortcuts → Chop editing.

Step by step

  1. Select the Chop

    Click it in the waveform and check that it is highlighted. Playing a note doesn’t select it.

  2. Choose Edit Chop

    Switch Editing to Edit Chop, open the page you need and make a change. Play a fresh note to hear it.

  3. Check a neighbour

    Play another Chop to confirm it didn’t change. Then come back and fine-tune.

  4. Keep or undo the change

    The Edited badge shows which effects this Chop changed. Choose Use Whole Sample on one effect to make it follow the shared sound again, or press Undo.

Good to know

Playing doesn’t switch editing

Playing Chops never changes Whole Sample or Edit Chop. Glance at the Editing row before you turn a knob.

Whole Sample keeps your Chop edits

If a Whole Sample change skips this Chop, that is because it has its own setting. Check its Edited badge.
