SAMPLING

The Song Samples location in the Browser contains the following items:
• Assigned Samples folder
Here, all samples that are assigned to devices in the song are listed. All devices that contain assigned samples are
listed as “sub-folders”. Each device “sub-folder” shows the samples currently assigned to it. See “Assigned Sam-
ples” for more details.
• Unassigned Samples folder
If you remove a sound you have sampled from a device, the sound is automatically moved from the Assigned Sam-
ples folder to the Unassigned Samples folder. From here you can load the sample into other devices if you like.
See “Unassigned Samples” for more details.
• All Self-contained Samples folder
All sounds you have sampled yourself, plus any duplicated samples from the Factory Soundbank and/or ReFills,
automatically becomes self-contained and are always stored with the song. These samples are listed in the All
Self-contained Samples folder. See “About self-contained samples” for more details.
• Edit button
Click the Edit button to open the selected sample for editing in the Edit Sample window (see “The Edit Sample
window”).
• Import button
Click this button to import the selected sample(s) to audio tracks in the sequencer.
• Play and Auto buttons
To audition a sample, select it in the Browser list and click the Play button. If you click the Auto button, simply se-
lecting a sample in the list will automatically play it back.
• Volume slider
Adjust the preview volume of the sample with the slider. This does not affect the samples original volume.
The context menu of a selected sample contains the following functions:
•Edit Sample
Select this to open the sample for editing in the Edit Sample window (see “The Edit Sample window”). If several
samples are selected, this item is grayed out.
• Duplicate Sample(s)
Select this to create a duplicate of the selected sample. The duplicated sample is placed in the All Self-contained
Samples and Unassigned Samples folders. Several selected samples can be duplicated in one go. See “Duplicat-
ing samples” for more details.
• Export Sample(s)
Select this to export the selected sample to disk. A dialog appears where you can select file format. Note that it is
not possible to export samples from the Factory Soundbank or from ReFills. Several selected samples can be ex-
ported in one go. See “Exporting samples” for more details.
• Delete Sample(s)
Select this to permanently delete the selected sample(s) from the song. Note that samples from the Factory
Soundbank and from ReFills will not be deleted from their original locations - only from the song document. Sev-
eral selected samples can be deleted in one go. See “Deleting samples from a song” for more details. Any samples
you have recorded yourself will be permanently erased unless you have previously exported them to disk (see “Ex-
port Sample(s)” below).
