how to transpose individual hits in drum rack?

Post by fourstar » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:48 am

What effect/tool do I use to transpose an 808 style kick drum sample with each different hit, so the note can follow the chords in my song? If I adjust the sample, that changes all triggers within the track. I want to change each one individually. pls help!

If it needs to follow a rhythm (there may be other ways) but a quick simple way for just that hit would be take it out of the drum rack and place it in a sampler on a separate track of its own where you can then hit it at any pitch. Group it up with your drum rack to keep it all together.

duplicate the chain, change the pitch, set the zones, automate the chain selector ?

How do I copy that chain to a new sampler track?

Do I make a duplicate chain for each pitch that I want the kick to play. i.e. I need four different notes - do I duplicate it 4 times? Is there video tutorial out there for doing this? Not too familiar with automation yet
