Remap To Root Notes

I was not born into an era where samplers are “free, fast, and easy”. I decided I didn’t need to spend the $2000+ for a very finicky computer that could only record 10 second clips. Silly me.

Today I would pull out a MacBook Air, attach an audio interface, and do the most amazing sampling, all for less than $2000, and with an interface that is indescribably different.

I’m still not going to jump into an MPCX Professional 😉

Someday when I sample.

Use the Sampler Mapping pane menu bar — Apple Support

Remap to Root Notes: Use to remap all selected zones to their respective root key positions.

  Next Sampler Instrument

Switch to the next Sampler Instrument. The Sampler is opaque to me. Some day I may pursue learning about sampling, and probably compare using Sampler or Alchemy for working with samples.

Load and save instruments in Sampler — Apple Support

A sampler instrument is the file type that is loaded into Sampler with the plug-in Settings pop-up menu. When you choose a sampler instrument, the associated audio files are automatically located on the hard disk (or disks) and are loaded into your computer’s RAM.

Mapping Multisampled Instruments in Logic Pro’s Sampler: step-by-step:

If there’s one word that sums up Apple’s revised look at sampling in Logic Pro X it would be immediacy. Certainly, from our previous workshops on Auto Sampler and Quick Sampler (in MT212 and MT211, respectively) it’s clear than a range of sample-based tasked are now quicker and easier to achieve — whether that’s time-slicing a drum loop or sampling hardware and software synths. One of the principle ways Apple has achieved this immediacy is by differentiating the various roles of their sample-based plug-ins — Quick Sampler, for example, is specifically limited to single samples, or time-sliced loops, whereas Auto Sampler is specifically designed for the task of sample recording. But where does that leave the re-built EXS24, now known as Sampler?

  Sample Loop -> Selection

I suspect that these commands will useful to people who used to use the ‘Apple Loop Utility’ which is no longer available. One of the more specialized tools/functions that Logic Pro X has available.

Create Loops in the Audio File Editor in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Sample Loop → Selection: The loop area (defined by the loop start and end points) is used to select a portion of the overall audio file.

Create Loops in the Audio File Editor in Logic Pro — Apple Support

The Audio File Editor Loop commands, available from the Edit menu, are ideal for use with Sampler.

You can also use these functions to generate audio files that contain the loop settings in the file header. This allows you to make full use of these files in any app that can read the loop information in the file header.
