I just got a Samplepad Pro and hate the on board kit maker, is this still valid? How do you install and use it? Thank you
The
SamplePad/Rack Editor is for building kits on the SD Card outside of the SamplePad/Rack..You don't even have to have the SamplePad/Rack connected...just the SD Card.
You can't export the samples from the SamplePad/Rack
It's pretty straight forward...insert the SD Card into the computer (or a card reader) if the computer doesn't have that option....
The Editor will ask to load the SD Card...
The SD Card from the Sample Pad/Rack will have a KITS folder and the Root (no folders) will have all the samples you have stored...
and just an FYI...you don't actually need an SD Card...I have used USB stick drives formatted to FAT32 and it still works , so you can build/backup/store all your kits on a USB drive and create a data base and Transfer to a SD Card later or in case of a card failure etc.
Once loaded select New Kit and start importing samples,be aware you can import one sample or a entire folder,but you can't delete an entire folder of samples using the Editor,only one at a time and only if loaded into a kit piece , so don't import 100's of samples and fill up the SD Card if you are only going to use 1 or 2 in a folder..plan on which samples ahead of time otherwise you'll be searching through the root folder and deleting what you don't want
You can then drag and drop the samples onto each Kit piece and A/B layers..reassign MIDI Notes and edit.
The trick is organizing the samples as being in the root drive there isn't any folder structure.
