Feedback from discord on initial experimental build:

current implementation appears to stop the wave playback once it hits a new slice point, it would be good to have the option to have it continue to the end either as a global toggle for that loaded sample, or per slice....
global probably enough but per slice would be mint

I think it would be nice that if you raise the slice count, the new slice starts at the timing of the previous slice
so if I just placed slice 4 at 0052000, then bump the slice count to 5, slice 5 should already be at 0052000
it might be nice to be able to jump slices an even spacing away from the previous slice
so if I have slices at 000000 and 001000, an option to place a slice at 002000

maybe as we add slices it could evenly divide the sample and then we move the slice points from there?
I also think there should probably be a "clear all slices" option in case someone wants to start over

only bug I've encountered so far is that when I try to reload a project with a big chopped up sample, it gets stuck on "restoring allocation

What I find myself (constantly) doing:
moving a new slice past the last slice I edited (like suggested before adding a new slice at the last position would be really handy for the way I used it)
press play after each modification of the start value (maybe playing max ~1sec of the edited slice position on enter up would be nice)
going back and forth between 2 slice points (to chop up drums). Having the keycombo edit + left/right similar to other screens to switch the selected slice without moving the cursor away from the start position field would also streamline the workflow
I'd also second the previous suggestion of having the function to slice the sample into n even slices could add lots of convenience and speed things up. (I guess a "delete all slices" would be handy in this case as well. - or the function "distribute n slices evenly" overwriting previously set slice points)

Add slices support for the sampler instrument #916
