![]() ![]() these are really useful settings that loop part of the sample while it is sustaining. These are relatively self explanatory controls. the Sample Start and Sample End controls. You can also control them in the text dials at the bottom of the tab, i.e. We will look at now can be easily be controlled by clicking on sample in the display and dragging the start/loop points with your mouse. Here’s a a rarely seen, side-to-side head-nod. You’ve got to get your producer head nod game on point tbh. You can change Scale from -200 to +200 but I would always leave it at 100% except for sometimes for percussion I might set it to zero as you don’t need to play a melody with a snare. At 100% the notes will spread over the keyboard tuning as normal like a piano tuning, but set at 0 and you can play any key and it will only play the root note – the sample will not change pitch. Scale is how mapped to the keyboard the notes are – by default it is set at 100 which is probably how you will use it for 99% of patches. Detune is similar but changes pitch by cents. ![]() Root is note of the sample – use this to make sure your samples are in key. In the next column, Sample is the sample name with Hot Swap button to quickly access the browser for new sounds. Snap makes sure the end points/loop points are at zero crossing (at a point where there is momentarily zero volume – this prevents that clicking you can get if the sound stops on a peak of a waveform. How do you reverse a sample in Sampler? Reverse will flip the sample backwards. While you’re reading this, try dropping a sample in Sampler (like ‘Kick-909’ that comes with Ableton Live Suite), which will enable the features in this tab. This is the main control tab for the Sample play back. If multiple samples are dragged into sampler then you can see the yellow light show next to ‘ Zone‘ on the tab name. ![]() you can make sampler play a kick drum, but if you hit the key harder you get kick drum and a ride. The Key, Vel, Sel buttons change the zones – you can assign different samples to different velocities too – i.e. Pulse Bass preset – showing multi-sample zone mapping in Sampler It will look like the image below, this is the Pulse Bass preset that comes with Sampler – you can see there are 11 samples spread out across the range…. Then add all different samples into a Sampler on the right keys, as opposed to having just one sample and pitching it up and down (like in Simpler). This is not a feature I use a lot, but it can be really useful if for example you sample a keyboard and record yourself playing a few different keys. Zone Tab with 2 samples split on the keyboard You can see this by looking at the green bars for each sample. In the screenshot above both the green bars for both the Kick and Ride samples stretch over the entire keyboard – so both samples play on all keys – meaning that whatever key you play you get a kick and a ride play at the same time.īut you can change it so that some samples play on different keys like in the screenshot below where any key below C3 will play a kick and any key above will play a ride. The Zone section is a pop up that opens above the instrument where you can drop more than one sample in and set up how they are assigned to the keyboard or velocity.
