How do you place samples on the keys of your keyboard.

I have no problem creating loads of presets each with different sounds in to fill up all of my 12 emu channels.
but what if I want a drum kit spread over 1 channel? kick on middle C, hi hat on D, snare on E etc...
Is there a quick easy way???

cheers

Go to preset edit > hit UTIL > hit split > select the note > now you have 2 voices > hit NEXT select the region you want the voice to occupy > be sure to change the ORIG note (on the first screen - hit PREV)

Thanks mate.

Will give it a go when I get home

This probably achieves exactly the same - just also explains how to use your keyboard to place the samples...first load some samples into your sampler. Then create a new preset....for V1 choose say 'Bass Drum'. Then Utils-New- and you have V2 - assign 'snare' to this one - and then Utils-New - V3 assign 'Hi Hat'.
Then to select your key press Next (title should be Vces-KyWin) and put the cursor on V1 in the 'High' column - press C1 on your keyboard - that will assign it to C1- and then go to 'low' and press C1 on your keyboard again. Repeat steps for each voice going up the keyboard as you like.

PS For the keyboard to send settings your sequencer needs to be loaded.

yeah this is a different way to get the same results - big up da ezman

Cool guys-

I got results both ways but both had the same problem:

If I want a bass note say C3 placed on keyboard key F4. I want it to play as C3 not pitched up.
Each time I place a key up the keyboard, they get more and more pitched up!
hmmm not explaining myself too well am I?

Another example:
I cut up a drum kit in recycle. Place the kick on C1, Hihat on D1, Snare on E1 etc...
Each sample becomes more pitched up than the last when I place them...
How can I keep the pitch of the sample regardless of where I place it??

Rod Hull (and Emu)

If you want them all stay their original pitch -

Preset Edit
Press Global
Press Edit All (f6)
Press Tuning (F2)
On the first page top row...
Non-transpose - turn this -on-
If you want to change the pitch of the snare for example just go into the same page with just that voice selected and go to coarse tune and fine tune. Any problems post 'em up Rod (back from the dead as the 50th member!)

emu says :
"Bigup Ezman "

umm, id be inclined to say dont do it that way! (sorry ezman)
The problem your having is because when you place the notes on the keys, your not changing the original note value
like this
hit 'preset edit' and youll see the voices you have for that preset (lets say drums)
you want kick on c1, snare on d1 and hihat an e1
if you look at the far right of the first page it will say orig and then have a note value, make sure this is set to the same key as the sample is placed.

Ezmans way would work, and for drums its wouldnt matter, but if you have a tuned synth your just asking for key/note problems
this way you havent adjusted the tunning, the sample just plays right
hope that helps

The method i described was for a drum program as originally requested, but there is nothing to stop you from entering the 'original note value' via midi keyboard in the previous screen. To be honest I haven't worked on say a split synth keyboard in any way - only on effects and drum programs so at the mo this the only method I've used

Bringing this thread back from the daed....

Why is it that when I change the origin of a sample in the Sample -> Edit screen, after I exit the screen the origin reverts back to what it was previously.

I have a bunch of short multisampled primitive waveforms (sine, triangle, square) which cover notes C0, D0, E0, F0, G0, A0 B0...I want to change their origin one octave up, but when I exit the Edit screen after the changes have been made, they revert back to the old settings.

Why?

I hope someone can help.

Is this a 4.71 bug perhaps?
