Creating a sampler configuration
The Sampler Configuration dialog allows you to create new sample configurations that can be saved as
presets and accessed from the Sampler dialog. Creating new custom configurations requires you to specify the
sampler and sample transfer mode. However, the process of creating a custom sampler configuration differs
based on which transfer mode is used.
1.
From the Tools menu, choose Sampler. The Sampler dialog appears.
2.
Click the Configure button. The Sampler Configuration dialog appears.
3.
From the Sampler model drop-down list, choose the appropriate sampler. If the desired sampler is not
included in the drop-down list, choose the generic
SMDI or SDS capable sampler option. If the sampler
supports the specified protocol, the Sampler Tool should interface with the sampler.
4.
Specify input/output settings for the sampler:
• If your sampler uses MIDI/SDS transfer, select the
MIDI radio button and choose input and output ports
in the
MIDI In and MIDI Out boxes.
• If your sampler uses SCSI/SMDI transfer, select the
SCSI radio button and select your sampler in the
Sampler box.
Note:
The Sampler box lists all devices connected to the
selected SCSI host, including devices that are not samplers.
5.
If desired, enter a value in the Sample bias box. Sample bias is a user-specified value that is added to the
logical sample number to determine the actual sample number used for sending or receiving.
Additionally, sample bias can be used to define unique biases for multiple projects. For example, when
composing multiple pieces using different samples, it is possible to create unique sampler configurations
for each project. Simply establish a unique sample bias to segregate the samples within the sampler.
6.
Enter a value in the MIDI channel box to specify which MIDI channel (1-16) is used when transferring
samples.
7.
Select the Open loop check box if you want to send SDS sample data immediately upon clicking the Send
Sample
button. This is an unconditional transfer of sample data (no handshake).
