A bit confused by sound effects. Why is the waveform different every time I press play?
In some cases this has been very useful to add variation to some sounds. But in other cases I want to be sure it sounds exactly the same every time but I can't figure out how to achieve that on the tweak menu.
Been through all the tabs and turned pretty much everything off just to see if I could get the sound consistent but I think I'm obviously not understanding how these work.
Does anyone know what's going on here?

You will need to go into the slice mapper, there will be multiple sounds on the same row, if you preview the sound you should see & hear the one that plays, so you will need to delete the sound you don't need.

A sound effects will play a random different slice each time they play. So as Rizla said, open the sound's window by scoping into it (L1 + X), and change it to "slice mapper" view (top-right) to see the slices themselves. Now play the sound a few times, and different ones will highlight as they are played.
If you want only one particular slice to play, you could delete the other slices.
(@Rizla: Only if a sound is in instrument mode with "row mapping" activated do the rows matter at all.) -
Ok, thanks for this info, it's starting to make more sense and I found that using the row mapper with sound effects lets you assign audio surface types.
But, if I'm not using the row mapper and the sound has multiple slices, is there any way for me to choose which slice is played (without deleting all but one slice)? I can't see any inputs to tell it which slice to play and I'm kind of assuming there must be something like that. -
You could do this a couple of ways. Though I'm curious, why do you want only a single slice to play, but *don't* want to delete the other slices?
The easiest is to delete all slices but one as I mentioned. Note that the rest of the recording isn't actually lost; you can copy the remaining slice and adjust its start and end time to recreate them, or make any slice you wish to.
Or set the sound to instrument mode (first tab) and turn on row mapping (last tab?). Now you can place the slice you want by itself on a row and move the others out of that row. Note the button icon on the left. Then change the window to "piano roll" mode, which will show you those same icons on the left. Use the draw note tool (sound mode > tools) to add a long note on the same row with the same icon to the left. This will play a random slice that is on that row, but as there is only one slice on that row it will always play that same slice. -

Thanks for adding the context i didn't.
One of the things i would do that requires 1 slice per instrument is to use a single note sample then have it spread across the whole keyboard range, this (not done in dreams yet!) affects the playback speed of the sample to change pitch while also having (for me) desirable side effects like the quality of the sound.
