SAMPLING (RECORD+REASON)
411
By default, the sample is named “Sample ‘n’” where ‘n’ is a serial number. As you will notice, any silence preceding the
actual audio in the sample will be automatically disregarded. The entire sample is preserved, but this is done so you
won’t have to edit the sample start before playback.
Besides ending up in the device, a shortcut to the sample is also placed under the corresponding device icon in the
Assigned Samples folder on the Song Samples tab in the Tool Window:
Here, all samples you use in your song are listed (see “The Song Samples tab”). Here is also where you can open
samples for editing (see “Editing samples”).
Recording unassigned samples
If you don’t want to sample directly into a device (NN-XT, NN19, Redrum or Kong), you can record “unassigned sam-
ples” from the Song Samples tab in the Tool Window instead. You can then choose to assign these samples to a de-
vice later on if you like.
The sampling procedure is identical to the description in “Sampling into a device (NN-XT, NN19, Redrum, Kong)”
above, except you start the sampling by clicking the Sample button at the bottom of the Song Samples tab in the Tool
Window:
The Sample button on the Song Samples tab in the Tool Window
! Note that you cannot use the “click and hold” method when sampling from the Song Samples tab!
The same waveform display shows up with the moving play head. When you’re satisfied with your recording, click the
Stop Sampling button in the waveform display. The sample is now placed in the All Self-contained Samples folder on
the Song Samples tab, with a shortcut in the Unassigned Samples folder. The sample is automatically named “Sam-
ple ‘n’” where ‘n’ is an integer. To play back the sample, select it in the All Self-contained Samples folder and click the
Play button on the Song Samples tab (see “The Song Samples tab”).
