Adding drums to the piano roll

[Elliott_90]

How do you add a drum sound, such as a snare, to the piano roll so you can play the snare as a different note on each key ranging through different pitches?
Up until now I have been using drum rack but it only lets you play the drum sound as the root note. There must be a simple thing I'm missing, cos when I used FL studio you just dragged a sound in and it would automatically be mapped to each key?

You can use sampler.

I prefer to create an audio track in Arrangement and manually pitch up/down the particular sound I want to the particular pitches I want. Then I crop all the clips and throw them in a drum rack.

You can view sounds in the piano roll by loading them into Simpler on separate tracks, without any Drum Racks.

You can achieve the same effect of a drum rack by placing all the different simpler instruments in an instrument rack. But, you must separate the different instruments using the Key Selector, like this.




Note* that Simple naturally keytracks relative to C3, so any notes that are not C3 must be pitch correct back to this amount for the original sample to play as the original sample. In this picture you will notice that the instrument in focus is transposed down semitones.
