Extract New Samples: Sample to Pad
Note: This is same as clicking the Convert To drop-down menu
and selecting New Sample to Pad.
This feature will create a new sample from the current one and
assign it to a pad. The new sample will have the same name as the
original one but appended with -# (where # is a consecutive
number).
•
Pad: Click this drop-down menu and select the desired pad.
•
Crop Sample: Check this box to delete the unused parts
from the sample when it's created and assigned. This feature
is destructive (though the Project will still contain your original
sample).
Leave this box unchecked to keep the unused parts of the sample when it's created and assigned.
This is essentially like editing a sample in Trim Mode and assigning it to a pad, but this method
creates a new sample, so you will still be able to further edit the entire sample even though you are
using only part of it at the moment.
•
Program: Click this drop-down menu to specify a Program to which you want to add the sample.
Important: Clicking Do It will replace the sample on the first Layer of the pad.
