on the devices as follows:

Sampling procedure
Sampling can be made in two basic ways:
• Sampling “assigned samples” directly into a device by clicking, or clicking and holding the Sample button on
the device’s panel.
• Sampling “unassigned samples” that are not (yet) assigned to any sampler device.
Regardless of which method you use to sample, the sample rate will be according to your current audio hardware set-
tings (see “Audio settings”).
Sampling into a device (NN-XT, NN19, Redrum, Kong)
1. Make sure you have made the necessary connections and set the levels according to the descriptions in “Set-
ting up for sampling”.
2. Click the Sample button on the device.
D Alternatively, click and hold the Sample button depressed for as long as you want to sample.
When you use the “click and hold” method, sampling will be automatically terminated as soon as you release the
mouse button. The sample will then end up in the device and on the Song Samples Tab in the Tool Window.
If you’re sampling into a Redrum, make sure you click/hold the Sample button for the desired drum channel.
A waveform display shows up with a moving “play head”:
