Resampling to audio tracks

Hello,
New owner of a Force and loving it so far. Been trying to figure out how to sample/resample to another track. Figured out how to do it with the looper but isn’t it possible to just sample to an audio track? Simple example: I’ve got a synth or drum track playing on track 1. Can’t I simply sample this to another track? Tried everything and I’m missing a step or it’s not possible. Am I missing something? Any info appreciated. Thanks!

Page 55 of the 3.0.6 manual seems to acknowledge that you can resample to an audio track...

Page 245 of the 3.0.6 manual has some information about sampling... probably just switch to "L/R"? I don't have a force so *shrug*... assuming you can but not sure.

Akai Force 3.0.6 Manual

I tried my best to do my due diligence before asking here...read the manual and every YouTube video x2. Tried every combination of arming tracks and gave it a back rub to no avail. I’m missing a step somewhere.

And thank you for the replies so far

Well damn, you were no joke serious about "sampling" that weren't you?

Lol true story

So... this is on the MPC Live... you may not have the same options... but this is the Sample screen on the MPC



On the MPC, you'd tap on the area that says "Input 1,2" in order to bring the list of options.



The Force doesn't have Input 3,4, so you shouldn't see that... but I would expect you to see "Resample L + R".

I don't have a Force though, so I am only guessing...

Barring that... I think there are Outputs 3,4... so maybe hook those to the inputs and then sample off of Input 1,2? Sounds ridiculous... and kind of is... but... Akai?

Thank you - I did try that and it is a very similar operation...I’ve also had success with the looper in the same fashion.
Say I have a project with one track. That track is a Hype synth. I’ve got a simple riff going on that track. Now, without switching to the sampler or looper can’t I record that audio, Ableton-style, I suppose, to a clip in an audio track on track 2? Maybe it records to a Keygroup track not an audio track?
I’m hoping for an “oh duh!” moment any minute now

That’s a real simple scenario of course I’d like to do that for larger scenes also.
