how to assign sampler start point to a midi controller

Post by romegio » Thu Mar 03, 2011 8:17 pm

how to assign sampler start point to a midi controller : I have attempted in the past to assign start point of sampler to a a knob on my original oxygen 8 midi controller. I am using 8.0.5 currently. I don't have the same problem for simpler. I would aprreciate any thoughts.. Oh, also I have a problem with opening a window and I always receive this window saying that i cannot copy while recording. This happens when I typically resample something and double click on the file (mixer side) to check the waveform as it is recording. Thanks for any help.

assign to the mod wheel or some other controller number?
ctrl + left/right = select transient

ctrl + shift + left/right = select between transients

ctrl + space = play selection

"some other controller number" should be cool

ya it sucks, what i've been doing is going into the mod section, setting the modwheel to Loop Length and setting it to -Max amt. Then as you increase the mod wheel, the sample loop gets shorter. a bit annoying you can't map it, i agree

We are talking about the sampler instrument.

yeah that transient stuff is in my sig...nothing to do with this.

but i did automate the start point with the mod wheel parameter in sampler.

Ok. But let's say i don't want to use the mod wheel. Or it is already used. Or you want to use a knob with led feedback. Or you wanna create your own midi hardware instrument.
