Octatrack - Save Selection As Sample (but where???)

Question / Help

Feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I make a selection in the sample editor, click the "EDIT" button, hit enter/yes to open the menu, scroll "save selection as sample" and hit enter/yes, NAME the sample with something new, and click enter. It says "Saving sample" for less than a second, then takes me back to the sample edit screen.

Now i go to assign my new sample... and it's nowhere to be found.

For what it's worth I am editing a recorded sample that is on a flex machine.

What am I doing wrong? Where are these samples being saved??

EDIT: I am an idiot, found the samples saved into the AUDIO folder as .wavs. Feels like they should also give me the option to assign though!

You can always select "save and assign" in the audio editor after your record it. You can then assign it to itself or the next available flex machine. This confused me too when I got an Octatrack.

If I remember right, you can set the audio file prefs to two default locations where samples are saved "Audio" or "Project".

Yep. I always do project so that my one-off recordings are not stuck in the same folder as everything else.
