Yay I'm so happy this has sparked people's ideas! hehe

That being a fact you dont even need to map to macro's, just a physical controller....

Not limited to the drum racks amount of macro's then!

sweet.

I had to create a second rack to achieve my own goals which meant creating two return chains eating up loads of cpu.

if I can map directly to the sampler its simples

Anybody know if there's a way to control the Sample Select zone in a chain of Samplers simultaneously (via a macro I'd suppose) AS WELL AS individually?

You can map multiple controls to the 1 macro... Try it and then try to map each zone select to another midi control.

I think PureMagnetik does something like this for their free kick drum pack.

I just tried that...unfortunately the Zone Select can only be mapped to one thing at a time. I'm trying to find another mappable setting in Sampler that also does the same thing as the Sample Select Ruler...closest I can find is the Zone Shift, but that transposes samples as you move along. Maybe there's a way to turn the transpose off in the Zone Shift? Blaagghh

^ I had to start all over again:-

Drop sampler in to an empty drum rack cell

Drop 128 hits in the frame.

Go to the zone bit and I think (at work right now) that Sel is the only one that allows the top bar to be mapped (turn purple) (If its not Sel there's only one that allows mapping so its that one !!)

Have the samples evenly distributed on the Sel range and map a knob slider etc to the top bar in the Sel screen.

(I did to retro map from the original audioner rack I made (with the midi pitch plug-ins) but that didnt work so hence started from scratch)

Have since allocatated further controlls to individual sample length and volume accessed via my MK461 knobs n faders which is sweet.
