MC-707 help request… can anyone tell me how to import this audio recording?

The sample bank you are in shows the samples you already have loaded into the project itself. So its not a representation of a folder. These sounds are now immediately available to all your tone and drum tracks. For a tone, open up the partial and change the oscillator to PCM and type to SAMP and you can browse your project waves. Drums let you select the save under Instrument Edit / Wave 1. Looper tracks I think only let you load files off folder on the SD card. You can load .wav files off SD directly onto Tone and Drum tracks too. Just press Sound / Wave File etc

ok awesome, that's a bit hidden but you're right that did it. Now my question is, how do I edit that sample in the auto chopper? Since I can't pull it up in the project sample editor, the track editor will only give me the basic sample edit functionality. I can't figure out how to get this to auto chop a recorded sample like this. I guess the question is, if you can't, how do I save this sample to the export folder so I can?

@@iamkeebz afaik, you can't get the slicer/normalizer features in the sample editor for sounds that are already in the sample bank. It only is available when you record a new sound or you browse to it on the SD card and hit Edit in the sample bank menu. If you don't have the sample anywhere on the SD card or can't reproduce it from the source again the only way I know to do it would be to re-sample the sound into the recorder again. Queue it up on a track, record it again, and then you can normalize and slice it. This is a hack but hopefully you can avoid this in the future by doing your slices when you load fresh into the sample bank or are sampling the inputs on the fly.

@@geomagnetics thanks a ton, that’s such a weird limitation. Basically the 707 has two sample editors that look the same. It’s wild that you can’t even export for the sample bank to the SD card except for immediately after recording. I can’t imagine why Roland did this, but I appreciate your help.
