Remove assigned track sample

Hi all,
How do you clear the sample assigned to a track?

I want to keep the static slots as it is but just want to clear the track assignment.

Thanks

Clearing a track`s sample assignment

By default, they have the corresponding sample from the slot list assigned.

In other words, if you start a new project and fill the first 8 slots of the Static sample slot list, without doing anything else, the “Nth” Audio Track, 1 to 8 (which are Static by default) will be assigned the “Nth” sample, 1 to 8.

If you want to see NO sample assigned (it shows the ~ tilde) - you need to either clear the previously assigned sample from the slot list (EDIT MENU / FILE / CLEAR SLOT) or assign an empty Slot (eg, in the example, Slot 9).

This caught me out at first, but it makes life easier because more often it is convenient to have to samples auto-assigned.

That makes complete sense.

Thanks for the detailed reply
