I recently made an audio folder of all my samples, loops & one shots, and I want to experiment with sampling them. They are all from royalty sample banks - not actual songs.
Some samples I want to be able to edit on the fly, other’s I want to load many different samples into one keyboard roll, so to speak, and then others I want to be able to play like instruments.
What are the best Cubase tools for doing this?
Thank you
Hi,
What exactly do you mean by this?
Do you mean to play one sample after another? If this is the case, you would need to prepare this as a dedicated Audio Event, Export it and then you can load it into the Sample Track.
You can use Sample Track for this.
Or you can use a mature sampler, like HALion (which is not part of the Cubase license).
Sample editing on the fly, means adjust it’s start point or focus point, ideally something that also works with transients to make chops automatically like Recycle achieved almost two decades ago.
Imagine a huge piano roll in a sampler, I want to put all my rhode, or say piano, or string one shot samples, ascending in a sampler.
Sample track sounds good I will try this, is there a function that helps re-pitch the sample to the root note of C3 also, I remember Reason had this, surely now Cubase has autodetection on these samples. Can always re-tune them other ways of course.
Thank You!
Here are some tutorials:

Well, to answer the topic question…
I simply browse the library on my Mac and open the samples directly in Halion. There is no need to ‘sample them’ if they’re already on the computer. Halion doesn’t have any magic ADC or DAC that makes it even worth attempting ‘resampling’ something that way heh.
Otherwise I load them into Groove Agent and one shot them directly into one of two E6400 Ultras or an S3000XL using an output channel in the mixer sent straight to the sampler’s inputs.
