SAMPLING

The Song Samples tab in the Tool Window 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. Since samples can
originate either from the Factory Soundbank, from external ReFills or your own samples, they are all listed as
shortcuts in the list. See “Assigned Samples” for more details.
• Unassigned Samples folder
Here are all sounds that you have sampled yourself in your song, by using the Sample button at the bottom of the
Tool Window (see “Sample button”). When you sample using the Tool Window Sample button, the samples auto-
matically become unassigned (since they weren’t sampled from a device). See “Unassigned Samples” for more de-
tails.
• 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.
• Play button and Autoplay checkbox.
To audition a sample, select it in the Song Samples list and click the Play button. If you tick the Autoplay box, sim-
ply selecting 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.
• Sample button
Click the Sample button to sample the signal present at the Sampling Inputs of the Hardware Interface.
See “Recording unassigned 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”).
• Duplicate button
Click the Duplicate button to create a duplicate of the selected sample. The duplicated sample is placed in the All
Self-contained Samples and Unassigned Samples folders. See “Duplicating samples” for more details.
• Delete button
Click to permanently delete the selected sample 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. 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 “Export button” below).
• Export button
Click 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. See “Exporting samples” for more details.
