Hardware: New Sample to Pad 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).
•
Convert To: This will be set to New Sample to Pad. You can use this field to to select a different
conversion/assignment process.
•
Pad: Press the desired pad to select it.
•
Crop Sample: Set this to On 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).
•
Set this to Off 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: Use this field to specify a Program to which you want to add the slice.
Press F5 (Do It) to confirm your choice or F4 (Cancel) or cancel the operation.
