About Assigned and Unassigned samples
Assigned Samples
Samples can be assigned to devices that support sample playback, such as the NN-XT, NN19, Redrum and Kong.
Samples that are assigned to a device can be found in the Assigned Samples folder on the Song Samples tab in the
Tool window:
The Assigned Samples folder can contain various sub folders, one for each sampler device used in the current song.
The song in the picture above contains two sampler devices; the “NN-XT 1” and the “Redrum 1”. The instrument fold-
ers can be unfolded to display their current sample contents. Sounds you have sampled yourself as well as samples
from the Factory Soundbank and from ReFills are displayed with shortcut icons.
The reason the samples are displayed with shortcut icons here is that they merely point to the original samples’ loca-
tions on your computer, or in the Self-contained Samples folder (see “About self-contained samples”).
Unassigned Samples
Samples that are not (yet) assigned to a sampler device are displayed in the Unassigned Samples folder:
Here are shortcuts to the samples you have previously recorded in the Reason song using the Sampling button in the
Tool Window (see “Recording unassigned samples”). These unassigned samples can easily be assigned to any of the
sampler devices at any time by loading them into a sampler device - see “Loading samples into a device”.
