Record copy paste sample

Hi all.

A little help please. I’m trying to sample from an 8 bar set of midi notes then paste that sample onto a new set of pads. The idea is to sample synths, layered drums etc, map them to pads then play with them in step mode.

The problem I’m having is once the sample has finished recording the midi notes that I recorded from now play the sample instead of the synth they were originally playing.

I also can’t work out how to copy paste the sample to a new set of pads.

 

I am a bit confused about what you're trying to achieve. Maybe I am misunderstanding it but it sounds like you're trying to "sample MIDI"? That's not a thing, you can only sample the Audio coming out of the synth/instrument, so whatever you play in terms of MIDI you're stuck with that once it's a 'sample'.

Hold down the Duplicate button, press one Pad then another Pad.

 

Hi. I probably didn’t explain very well. Yes I’m trying to sample the audio being played by the synth. I can record the sample, just hid record then play and it records the synth. What I don’t understand is when the sample has finished recording, the midi events that were triggering the synth are now triggering the sample.

Thanks the advice on duplicating the sample.

 

Mute the midi channel after recording the audio. I do this often with outboard synths. Play a midi pattern-send to external synth-record incoming audio to new slot-then change sounds and keep recording. I mute the midi but i still save that info just in case i need to change something.

 

Interesting. I didn't think of sampling onto the same track I am using to sequence external gear via midi. Be interested to hear other's workflow in this area.

 

I like to sample my synths that way. I use loop mode to record multiple takes with different patches , recording filter sweeps. Kind of like live loop making.

 

Yeah this is kind of what I’m trying to do but all inside Maschine. The only way I can see to get the sample into a different sound or pad after recording is to go into the folder where it’s recorded then drag it to where I want it. Is that the best or easiest way?

 

U can record 2 each channel u want, just select the desired pad, the desired input channel and the desired record mode. Press record. Press the Play-Button. After that mute or delete the original channel. And of course, recording 2 the same channel where the original-signal´s coming from leads 2 the triggering of your new recorded sample, coz the midi notes are still remaining. U got 2 use the C3-Key instead.

 

Ok cool. So say I have a synth in group a, can I record that directly onto a pad in another group?

 

Yes, of course....choose a group, a pad, press sampling, select the input-channel and the record mode...etc

 

Would you mind explaining in a little more detail? I’m used to doing this in a DAW where I might send source instrument to bus1 then set unput of audio channel to the same bus. I can’t see how to route it as the selections for the outputs of the synth and the inputs of the destination pad have different names. Thanks

 

Oh, ha ha! Never mind. I found it

 

Mos likely you will benefit reading the manual and watching some youtube videos. You can achieve the things you want effortlesly after you master the basics.
