How do you create a sample/multisample from a .wav file

[EdK]

Hello everyone,

I have a .wav file I would like to create a sample/multisample from. I placed the .wav file on a CD and loaded it into my Triton Studio but I'm confused to what the next step would be. The Parameter Guide only shows how to sample something by using a microphone, etc.

Then, the next thing I need to do is combine this .wav file with an an existing program and then create a combi with both sounds.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks! Ed

Hello Ed. I've found this information for you. Hope it does the job for you. Seems very comprehensive to me.

IMPORTING THE SAMPLE

1.) Take that tweaked 808 you made and burn it to a CD. preferably a CD-RW

so u can always erase it and use it again. Why waste a whole CD puttin a few

sounds on there right?

2.) Insert CD into drive, press SAMPLING button, then the MENU button (next

to the numbers) On the Touch screen press (Audio CD) Now the next step

depends on what you want to do.

3.) At the bottom of the screen should be the words "Start" and "End" which

lets you specify how much of the sample you want to rip. (sometimes the one

shots on CDs also come with extra blank space) Either you can do that or you

can just rip the entire sound and trim down the .wav until you have it

perfect.

4.) Once you have that. in the top right of the screen press the dropdown

arrow and select "Rip to Destination" (or write to destination) select RAM

or DISK, whichever one shows you the files you have saved.

5.) Name your file and let it do its thing... beacuse this is where things

get serious. lol


LOADING THE SAMPLE

1.) Press DISK button and find your newly imported .wav. Select the .wav

2.) Select the "Load" tab at the bottom of the screen. Now, in the top right

touch the dropdown box and select Load file or Load Event (whatever it is)

lol. Now your sample is loaded. BUT WHERE?!?!



RETRIEVING THE SAMPLE

1.) Press the SAMPLING button, Make sure your Index is on 001 for those set

of keys (you can change them later). Under the picture of the virtual

keyboard, you will see a dropdown box. press that and select your sample.

2.) Now in order to use that sample, you have to save the Multi-Sample. But

you need to trim the sample to make sure when u press the key, it hits

INSTANTLY and not all delayed as if you played it from the CD.


EDITING THE SAMPLE


1.) While on the SAMPLING screen, press the MENU button and select "Sample

Edit." use the dropdown box to chose the sample you want to edit.

2.) At the bottom of the screen again you will see "Start" and "End" use

those numbers to trim where the sample starts and stops. You can also touch

the WAVE pattern shown on the screen and use your Scrolling Wheel to edit

the sample. *note* its really easier to just do this in the AUDIO CD screen

with the start and end function before you rip the sample... to avoid all of

this.

3.) After Editing your sample, press exit and test it out with the virtual

keyboard by pressing the corresponding keys, You now have an 808 Kick that

is like a note. The lower keys make a lower kick, and the higher keys make a

higher kick.

4.) Last but not least, save the Multi Sample. press the dropdown box in the

top right corner and select "Write to Program" (I use Program because those

are single instruments, Combination is used when you want to layer

instruments and add FX and such)

5.) Name The Multisample. If you dont, it will name it MS___001, 002, 003

and so forth and that crap gets confusing. Chose where you want it to go and

continue.


USING THE SAMPLE

1.) Nooooow after all of that is said and done, press the SEQ button and

start a sequence as you normally would,

2.) Select the track you to have your kick, press the bank button on that

track that brings up your instruments, find where u place that kick... and

now u have it selected. lol BAM!! There is your kick, Sound Effect, Sample,

Chop, Flip, Loop whatever u decided to use.

3.) When you go and save your Sequence, make sure select the option that

includes saving ALL so it will included you loaded samples.

4.) The next time you goto load up your project, select the .SNG file and

check the "LOAD .KSC" button as well, these are your samples. There u have

it.

Question:
ook i have a triton classic and do i do the same? i cant burn a cd and use

if i have a floppy soon to have the scsi for if so right now thats what im

waiting on.

Answer:

in a sense... instead of ripping the .wav from the CD, you have it easy. You

can just press the DISK button, use the dropdown box (which actually goes up

this time) to select either "Floppy Disk" or "SCSI Drive" and load the

sample from there. Use the "Utilities" Tab and make sure u copy the .wav to

your internal memory if you are able to do so. So u wont have to keep using

your disks.
