So.. Saving samples..

As I've been going through the Live Bible, I just realized we can't save samples to a directory of our choice? Since when? I could've swore this was possible with the Oder MPC's via floppy or Zip disks? Don't mind me if I sound clueless.. Tequila is my mistress tonight. Wanted to just listen to some records and sample.

i think the only way is by saving them into programs. that is a total oversight...

Select the sample in the Edit Sample menu or assign to pad. In Main screen hit the the pencil tool to edit/ copy / save the program. The menu will then show you the option ‘save current sample’ and allows you to save the sample wherever you wish.

My man! I could’ve sworn I seen that in the Live Bible. Frustrated I couldn’t figure it out! Thanks!

It's a bit flakey that option, not tested it in 2.3 yet, but sometimes it just doesn't work as expected. Also (naturally, I guess) gets confused with multi-layer pads.

Damn. That’s weak. I’ll give it a go tonight.

they need to add a function for this in the sample screen... you can't have a sampling session as easily when you gotta **** around to get the job done.

When going through a stack of records I still prefer my 2500 before dumping everything into the Live for this reason.

I barely sample outside of creating multi-sampled instruments. But the 1st time I went through a stack of records (read 5-7), I was held up by this missing "feature". PITA! But I'm not pulling out my Z4.

I agree completely.

LMAO....3-4 finger taps...and the Sample is saved. Takes me 3 secs to save a sample to any drive lol.

totaly agree this process of assiging to a pads in a program is pain in the ass

i wonder whats holds akai back from implementing such a quick and easy fix

SAVE WAV

One of my earliest Ren memories…I had just got the unit and thought it's dope as heck.
Was sampling a lot of vinyl in one session – and then the **** crashed (which it did a LOT back then).
I was like no effing way, where are my samples? And they were nowhere…not in some temp cache folder or something.
Wasn't dope, I tell ya.

I might not be understanding the procedure, but why not just sample a bunch of sounds, assign them sequentially into a drum programme and then save that? You'd get all the individual sample files in a folder.

because we are complaining... what you said is actually what we do.... but we need the excuse to come together to throw a few rocks at town hall...
