» StretchSample length is not pitch-dependent. Loop/phrase starts at the beginning of the loop/phrase
» SliceDefault mode Ideal for percussive or strongly rhythmicsamples which can be sliced into discrete sections. Slices of the sample can be played back in the original order, or rearranged to create new sounds.

This will also change the audio drag & drop button to a MIDI button. When you press on it and drag, it creates a MIDI file that can be dragged to your host application or desktop. The MIDI file triggers the slices in their original order and timing, which you can then edit for new arrangements of the slices.
