EXS24 Sampler Instrument and Samples
Sep 18th, 2011, 10:25
Hello.
I would appreciate help over underlining some basics about the EXS24.
I have been using it for basic sounds and Convert To stuff.Within projects rather than for universal sound-making.
But now I feel I know enough about that...
I have set up a project to create different sampler instruments of my own.
I've spent time recording long guitar E-Bow notes and chopping them,pitching some, looping etc.So that infinite 'padded chords' can be played.Using the velocity switching too.
I love the sound (which many other people must have done at some point).It's a good feeling to do that.
I am still confused about a few things.
When adjusting the sample start and end points/loop points..
I just drag the sample borders and use LS and LE for the loop points below the sample. I then Save the Instrument.
Every time I adjust these (by ear) I Save the Instrument. I presume this is what the manual means by ' save the sample '. I may be wrong.
Do I have to use the various Sampler Edit commands too ? Or are they just an alternative ?
Also...In what situation do I use the Write Sample Loop To Audio File and Update Selected Zones Information From Audio File ?
I am happy with the results but I just want to use the correct method creating any future instruments.
Once I have made the other instruments and Exported them to my Sampler Instruments folder.......Can I delete the project used to record the original files ? What happens to the samples once Exported?
Thanks for any answers to my many questions. I do have the MPV tutorials but find this particular one a little vague in this area.Regarding saving etc.
Thanks : )
