What up,

If I understood correctly, you can now take slices straight to pads in sampling mode?

My question is will this work in all 4 pad banks?

(I do not own the 5k)

First...what are you waiting for....go and get yourself one :D

In Record Sample Mode, you can assign newly recorded 'samples' to the active program in all 4 pad banks. You can do the same in Trim Mode.

Note to Akai: In the next update, it would seriously shut it DOWN, if you could also shift+pad and assign whatever you have highlighted in Trim mode. That'd pretty much be a hardware Edison VST feature......godlike.

That is just one of the features from "Askia's Feedback" thread I would like to see added to the Trim Mode.
