swapping samples without losing mapping in simpler/drum rack

Post by pix » Sat Jul 21, 2018 3:36 pm

I'm probably missing something here but is there a way to change the sample of simpler/drum rack without loading a completely new instrument? Say if I map a few midi controls to pitch/decay, as soon as I hot-swap the sample all the mappings are gone...what's the way to do this?

The swap buttons of the drum rack pad and on the device's title will swap the instrument, but:

Hover your mouse over the Simpler's waveform.

Then you'll get a swap sample button bottom right of that waveform.

Awesome thanks! Is there a key shortcut to hot swap the samples instead of the instrument? (Q)

Apparently not.

[Q] hotswaps the active device, but there's no shortcut beyond that level.

This needs to be addressed and fixed.... badly. This is a BREEZE to do in Maschine, and has been for oh... 8 years or more?
