Bounce a project from a backup, with no EP connected
Any project backup can be bounced to stems offline — the samples and pad data are already in the file.
Best Friend rebuilds a scene or song from the project data and the samples, which means a backup already contains everything a bounce needs. You do not have to restore it first.
Bounce one
- Open the Library’s Backups page.
- Long-press a project backup and choose Bounce.
- Walk the wizard through to a finished bounce.
The wizard opens on that backup’s own project: its scenes, its pad names, first scene selected. Change picks any other scene the backup holds, or the whole Song.
No device reads happen at any point — the samples come out of the backup file.
It does not have to be the project you are on
The project loaded on your EP is irrelevant. Bounce a project you replaced weeks ago without restoring it first, and without losing what is on the device now.
Projects inside a system backup
A system backup itself offers Restore but not Bounce — it is a container, not a project. Open
it and the projects revealed inside each offer Bounce, exactly like an imported .ppak. See pull one project out of a system backup.
The extras still work
Turn on Samples and MIDI in the wizard’s extras and both land in the zip. The samples exported are the backup’s own WAVs, with their metadata intact. See what’s inside a bounce.
Where it lands
In the Library’s Bounces page, tagged with the backup’s project number, alongside bounces you made from the device.
Backups from the official EP Sample Tool
A .pak or .ppak exported from Teenage Engineering’s EP Sample Tool bounces the same way, once
imported.
