Assigning Samples
You can assign your new sample directly to a pad from Trim Mode.
To assign a sample, tap Assign at the bottom of the touchscreen to open the Assign Sample window.
Important: Assigning a sample to a pad in this way will replace the sample on the first layer of the pad.
If you set the Assign To field to Assign slice to a pad, the pad will
simply refer to the slice in this sample instead of creating a new
sample. This is useful for reducing clutter in your project.
Use the Pad field to select the desired pad. Alternatively, press
the desired pad.
Use the Slice Type field to select how the pad's layer settings
will be set when the slice is assigned to it (see
Mode to learn more about the parameters mentioned below):
Non-Destructive Slice: The pad's Slice setting will be set to
the slice number.
Pad Parameters: The pad's Slice setting will be set to Pad.
The Pad Start and Pad End will be set to the slice's start
point and end point values, and the Loop Position will be
set to the slice's start point but with Pad Loop deactivated.
Use the Program field to specify the program to which you
want to add the slice.
To assign the sample, tap Do It.
To cancel the operation, tap Close, the X, or anywhere outside
the window.
If you set the Assign To field to Make new sample, this will create a
new sample in your project. (The original sample will remain as it is.)
Use the Pad field to select the desired pad. Alternatively, press
the desired pad.
Check the Crop Sample 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 is created and assigned. This way, you will still
be able to edit the entire sample further even though you are
using only part of it at the moment.
Use the Program field to specify the program to which you
want to add the slice.
To assign the sample, tap Do It.
To cancel the operation, tap Close, the X, or anywhere outside
the window.
