Well, I admit, the device is a bit cryptic...
I just noticed some minor bugs myself, which I will fix in a future update... despite that, it should work.
Originally I wanted to create a pdf manual for each device, but haven't got around to it yet...
For now, I quickly created a short trail & error demo, currently without voice and commentation, sorry for that:

You, and everyone else who has this problem, just do the following:
1. Drag "Dial Beats (Mix).amxd" into an audio or MIDI track.
2. Drag a sample folder to the "Drop Folder Here!" zone.
3. Select a sample and set the "Slices" to 4 or 8 for drums and rhythm stuff, and 1 or 2 for vocal lines and melodic stuff.
4. Now move the "Beat!" dial, you should hear something now! Live transport must be active for quantisation and audio output. You can set the quantisation rate left of the "Beat!" knob or turn it off with the "X". 4n and 8n are good start values. Turn on "Loop" to auto loop the selected slice.
5. You can map the two "Beat!" dials to a MIDI hardware controller.
So you can "play" the slices of both samplers simultaneously.
6. If you want to sync two samples with different BPM values, turn on "Time Stretch" and "Follow Tempo". Then set the sample's "Original" BPM tempo. Set the "Bars" to 2 or 4, depending on how long the sample is. You will hear the difference.
-> "Folders" preset means: the path to the sample folder is saved / loaded
-> "Samples" preset means: the index number of the two samples that are loaded in the current "Folder" preset are saved / loaded.
-> "Settings" preset means: only the Dial Beat's settings are saved / loaded (number of slices, speed, tempo, mode, quality, form, pitch etc.).
-> You can combine all kind of presets with one another to create new random combinations - or just remember:

Hey Rob, thank you for your review!

"Folders" Slot 1 + "Samples" row 1 + "Settings" row 1 belong together...
I do it that way. It's hard to describe...
I hope you know what I mean.
