Would be great to have the Mini Sampler remember pad assignments, instead of either having to A) load the samples to pads each time you add a custom Mini Sampler instrument, or B) assign samples to default pad setup (which is a pain).
The way it is now kind of renders custom Mini Samplers instruments with pad control as useless when moving from project to project, because each time you load the instrument in a new project the pads are not set up right. Absolutely kills workflow.
Maybe thereâs something Iâm missing, but if not please add this feature.
Perhaps a good way to do this would be to let users pick between a piano roll or drum pads when editing a custom Mini Sampler instrument and assigning samples, and if they choose drum pads they are given a default drum pad layout that is consistent with every Mini Sampler instrument.
Iâd recommend a default drum pad layout starting at C3 and proceeding up (C#3, D3, etc.) to make it easier to edit midi clips made with any such Mini Sampler instrument.
As it is now itâs a real drag creating and using Mini Samplers instruments with drum pad assignments, and for people like me who prefer drum pad assignments with the Mini Sampler it means using the Mini Sampler at all is a real drag.
I hope you at least consider these issues brought up! I want to like the Mini Sampler, but just canât the way itâs currently set up.

Itâs possible:
assign your custom samples to the mini sampler keyboard
open the âPADâ view
open the PAD âeditâ list
select the target âPadâ (eg. âB0â> is highlighted in blue)
select inside the PAD âeditâ list your mini sampler sample eg. âC2 Kickâ, you will assign to Pad eg. âB0â
Result : The Mini Sampler âC2 kickâ is highlighted in the edit list and mapped to Pad âB0â
touch on mini sampler and create a preset name eg. âpad assignmentsâ
Result : Now the preset is stored in the instrument list> Mini Sampler/My Instruments/âpad assignmentsâ
Note : Now, if you load your mini sampler preset âpad assignmentsâ, the message appears âReset the pad layout ?â
Hit the âkeep customâ button and all your mapped samples should be available on the right allocated pad.
Nope, doesnât work. The pads get reset when opening into a new project. That was kind of my point, that it is a chore having to reset the pad assignments each time to want to open a custom mini sampler instrument that uses pad assignments.
Pads even get reset when opening into the same project. So the pad assignments only stay put on the initially created track. After that they get reset every time.
