Ok, I somehow saved one, and only one, of my sequences as a .wav file... Can anyone tell me how I did it?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

So, is this a suspected bug, or are you trying to save a sequence as a sample?

When you go to Mode>Record, Scroll to Record: Rec In, and change Rec In to Main - then press Do It, and the screen should say Waiting Input.. Now Press Play Start to start sampling the sequence. Push Do It again to stop sampling. You can now name the sample and assign it to a pad. Now you have converted a sequence to a Wav... Trim as needed. Save as you would normally save the sample.

Not sure if there is an easier shortcut, if there is please let me know..

Also unsure if this is what you did, due to the lack of details in the original post..

Good Luck!

I see. That is probobly because you did not discard the unused portion of the sample when in trim mode.

Mode>Trim>Edit:Discard

That will delete the unused portion of the sample, so it will be edited after you export.

Also you will not be able to export any changes to the sample you made in program mode, or processed through the effects without first re-sampling and editing first..

Hope this helps.

Good Luck.

*Once sequence is ready to play..
Mode>Record>Record: Main
DO IT
Waiting Input..
Play Start (Sequence should play while recording)
DO IT to stop.
*Now name the sample and assign it to a pad. (Assignment not necessary)
Name: Myseq
DO IT
Assign to pad: A9
DO IT
Mode>Trim
*Trim start and end as desired
While still in TRIM MODE
Edit:Discard
Now save the project, and Myseq.wav should be on the CF card.

You could also save the sample only, your choice.
