How to deal with samples playing duration in Impulse ?

Post by ennayeh » Fri Apr 01, 2011 4:26 pm

Hi,

I don't know how to deal with the length of an instrument when I play it in Impulse. I explain : when I create a midi pattern (using a midi keyboard for example), Impulse plays my samples entirely, whatever how long I press the keys.
When I use Drum Rack it is different, it only plays samples the duration I keep the key pressed (which seems logical to me !).

Do you have a solution for me ?

Many thanks in advance. Yann

The Decay dial allows you to set how long the sample plays.
Under that dial there is a button that switches from Trigger to Gate mode. In Gate mode, the sample will only play for as long as you hold the note.
