About self-contained samples
All samples you record in a song automatically become self-contained. Self-contained means that the samples are
automatically stored within the song when you save it. A great advantage with this is that you never have to keep
track of any “loose” custom samples you use in your song - they are always included in the song document.
All self-contained samples in a song can be viewed by unfolding the All Self-contained Samples folder in the Song
Samples location in the Browser:
Self-contained samples can also be loaded into any sampler device from the Browser. See “Loading samples into a
device” for more details.
Un-self-containing samples
There might be situations where you want to “un-self-contain” your own samples, i.e. export the samples to disk as
separate files and at the same time remove them from the song document. This can be done by selecting “Song Self-
Contain Settings...” from the File menu - see “About Self-Contained Songs” for more details.
