making a bassline with an audio track

Post by matics » Thu Sep 30, 2004 3:59 am

hey people
just finished reading the tutorials etc..

I have a bass sample I want to use for a bassline. I want to map it to my midi keyboard so I can bang out some different lines...my problem is that when I have it mapped it obviously only plays one tone on one note. Ive tried to set it up in the Simpler and put a scale on it, but it doesnt seem to work for me..

is there any way to map one sound to the whole keyboard so that you can play it like a regular keyboard??

hopefully that made sense 8O

thx

1. Create MIDI track
2. Drag "Simpler" unit to the MIDI track
3. Drag and drop sample to the Simpler window...
4. Make sure the MIDI track is assigned the midi keyboard signal... (in the manual)


The sample should now play like you want it to...
15" PB 2.5 Ghz, 4 Gig RAM, 750 GB HD, Live 9 still no cue points or program change messages?!?. Doesn't do shit.
