yo - i’d posted this on the ihatebreakcore forum a while ago but thought it might be of use to anyone struggling to get their heads around the pattern effect commands for slicing up beats…
Very nice of you. 
Great slice up btw.
ohh, thanks! this really cleared a few thing for me. 
i have a question about beat slicing. in this example i noticed, your loop is very good synched to have hihat, snare or bass drum strikes at sample offsets, multiple of #10, so applying of commands is easy and straight. however, when i do my own loop, hits are messed on various offsets and it is hard to apply such technique. my question is: do you compose your loops, having some rules for easier applying of offset commands in mind, or is there some other workaround, which i can’t come up with?
^ elfh - i usually pick a loop and then find the tempo from it, mostly by trial and error - and then set the renoise tempo to this tempo and cut the loop to 4 bars - this generally means that the hits are pretty close to the pattern lines anyway -
you can always tell which offset to use looking at the numbers along the bottom of the sample editor…
… it would be ace if the renoise sample editor allowed time stretching along the lines of acid/live tho, that would really make beat editing a breeze…
nsound: thanks for reply. about an hour ago i understood, that i can watch the sample editor, while changing bpm in renoise, so i can pick the right speed easier, seeing lpb ruler moving over my loop and then edit it a bit, if needed.
Thanksfor the really kool example file to work with, I substituted other samples in the sample slot #00, then used Camelspace and I got instant craziness that sounded great.
However I have “the super newbie question of the day”? Why can’t I type in 09 in the effect column all I get is 9000. If I type 0 nothing happens and then I try to type a 9 and I get 9000 instead. What am I missing, here? Thanks in advance and thanks

just start typing with “9” in the second digit column, forget about first zero, it’ll appear automatically 
thanks elfh for that 09 answer!
