Sampler...Triggering?

Post by Thrifty350 » Fri Mar 30, 2007 9:13 am

Sorry for being dense, but could someone please tell me how I can trigger a sample (using sampler obviously) and get it to play from start to finish, by pressing the assigned key once. I don't want to have to hold down the assigned key for the whole sample.

Thanks to anyone who can help me.

good point actually.
i think there's no way of doing that.
the onlyway would be to put the release to the max (60sec), but then your samples have to be shorter than that.

but then, you can achieve that using "normal" audio clips.

I just use the MIDI note length effect to make all the notes I put in 30-60 seconds long. I tend to use this for triggering snippets of dialogue from movies, or whatever. For that it's fine. I can't imagine ever working with a sample of that sort that's longer than that. I'd probably just use normal audio clip type stuff for it in that case.

instead of putting it into Sampler, why not just make it a normal clip?

Midi vs. Audio.

anything more than 60 secs you will need to chop up.

assign a MIDI note to the audio clip. then have a MIDI clip firing off that note as needed.
