Using ST2 XL to play Sliced Loops

Hi,

I have taken an Audio Drum Loop used ZeroX Beat Slicer to chop it up and create a Midi file. The chopped up loop segments are called Electro-kick-snare 01.wav 02.wav etc.

I have loaded the Midi file into my sequencer OK ans imported the slices into Sampletank. Sampletank seems to now want to pich shift the samples, whereas I just want to map one slice to one note.

I must be doing something wrong. Can anybody give any tips ? It will be great to use all of Sampletanks FX and mangling on my audio loops

Thanks
Paulie

Check the octave that the samples were mapped to. You might need to octave-shift the MIDI data or the ST2 instrument.

The easiest way to do it is to simply play across a keyboard MIDI controller. You'll find it.

Let me know if you still don't get it. I've done this exact thing (importing sliced loops into ST2) quite a few times before.

another trick: use recycle to slice your loop. export it as a soundfont + midi file.

convert the soundfont with exsc into a sampletank file...there u go :)

what is this exsc?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies

Kim - May thanks. The possibilities are opening up right now.

TrekStar - I dont have recycle but if I get into slicing seriously I hear that recycle is the "guvnor"

Tonio - If you have a 4 beat audio drum sample a beat slicer program will chop up each of the beats into hits. You can them play them back individually.

just use phatmatik pro, it's cheap and does what you want it to do, and it does it very well

you just load the wav into phatmatik and it does the rest

ok, I know what exsc is now. Too bad I'm on a MAC.
So Phatmatik pro would be more streamline, at least for me. Its too much of a pain to set up the bank etc etc. Where do you guys have the time to do this stuff.
I'm rather new to soft synths so IMO would rather use Phatmatic pro-or other slicer(cost factor)to hash it out pretty quickly(time factor). PLus the convertors and such.
meh...
:D
