Open sampler in a separate window

[Kris_Go]

Opening the sampler in a separate window would be nice.

Currently, you have to open it in the lower zone and then in a separate window.

When you close the editor, the lower zone is open.

I want to be able to open the sampler in a separate window
without opening the lower zone, like when opening the sample editor.

Thanks.

yeah this would be nice to have the same as midi editor etc.

For now I guess you would need a workaround like

Create a macro to open the Lower Zone + pop-out

• Show Lower Zone

• Open Editor

• Pop out window

I cant find in Cubase “Pop Out Editor” as a command, but I am sure if you use a macro tool (Keyboard Maestro, AutoHotkey) this could be possible

Thanks for the advice.

Personally, I want to be able to do everything with a mouse.
If possible, without touching the computer keyboard.
I don’t always have the ability to operate the keyboard comfortably.
I often have an instrument keyboard or a guitar in front of me.
Reaching the keyboard is then difficult.

I and other have requested this before (not only for sampler, but for any item in the lower zone that can open separate window like MIDI remote etc).

Open Drum in separate window without lower zone

I’ve looked around and it doesn’t seem to be possible to directly open the drum machine (or MIDI remote or Sampler track…) in a separate window, only if you open the lower zone and then click on the arrow button top right… Which is a) at least two clicks and b) opens the lower zone, which I don’t like to use and then has to be closed again, which is another click/key stroke. Haven’t found something in the key commands either. If that it is really not just an oversight from my side, I hereby cr…

Sampler Track - Open/Close with Shortcut & open in separate Window

Hi, one of the main shortcuts I am using is the one for “Edit VST Instrument”. It opens or closes the plugin GUI of a selected instrument track. It also opens the lower zone with sampler track tab when using it on a sampler track, but you can’t close the lower zone when pressing it again. This is a huge workflow killer for me.

so one of those mouses with many buttons could be cool for that. I think they call them MMO. you could program a bunch of shortcuts and multiple sequences with many of those mouses.

This is a good idea.

I sometimes use the on-screen keyboard.

There are many configuration options.

For example:

You can place it anywhere.

Now I don’t have to use the keyboard.
You can assign a macro.
Unfortunately, Cubase doesn’t have programmable buttons
to which you can assign a macro.
Something like that would be useful.

@fese, what puzzles me is that the command “Edit VST Instrument” opens the sampler/drum in the low zone, while if we build a MIDI Remote and attach to a control, the host value “Selected Track→Edit Instrument” the sampler/drum slot opens in a new window. This leads me to think that this was a decision taken upon the workflow most used.
Here’s a small video demonstrating proper sampler/drum opening in a new window, using a tiny MIDI Remote (which of course we can attach to a shortcut as a workaround).

The command for opening in a window is “Editors→Open in separate Window/Lower Zone”, it’s a toggle.

I feel you. The approach I took because of similar reasons, was to build a MIDI Remote on a tablet, placed at the center of my keyboard.
