About this chapter
This chapter describes how you can sample, edit samples and manage your samples in your songs. For more infor-
mation about the specific devices that can sample and play back samples, please refer to the “NN-XT Sampler”, “NN-
19 Sampler”, “Redrum Drum Computer” and “Kong Drum Designer” chapters.
Overview
The sampling feature allows you to sample external audio (or internally from the outputs of any device) and use in any
of the devices that support sample files, i.e. NN-XT, NN-19, Redrum and Kong.
One-click sampling
The sampling workflow has been designed to be as quick and easy as possible, so you don’t lose any inspiration. Re-
gardless which device you use when sampling - be it the NN-XT, NN-19, Redrum or Kong - sampling can be instantly
accessed by simply clicking, or by clicking and holding the Sampling button(s) on these devices:

You can also sample from the Song Samples tab in the Tool Window at any time. You don’t even have to have a sam-
ple player device present in the rack (see “Recording unassigned samples”).
See “Sampling procedure” for more details on how to sample.
The Edit Sample window
All sampling parameters and functions are controlled from one single window - the Edit Sample window. This window
is used whenever you’re sampling to any of the devices described above, or from the Song Samples tab in the Tool
Window. See “Editing samples” for more details.
