I’m in 8.5. How do I get a sample into the piano roll and “play” the sample using portamento/pitchbend with a midi keyboard?
I’ve tried loading the sample into Groove Agent SE and spreading the sample chromatically across the pads as stated in the Groove Agent manual, but I can’t seem to get any portamento between the pads, no matter how much I mess around with the pitchebend settings.
Thanks for this. I’m now able to “play” a sample I drag into PadShop Pro, but a few questions still remain:
The portamento/pitchbend doesn’t work with a vocal sample very well. Is there a setting I am missing?
The playback speed changes (e.g.- lower notes play the sample slower, higher faster). Is there any way to have the sample play back at the original speed, but still in different pitches?
Thanks for the advice, but I have already watched the video and read up plenty on PadShop’s features. As stated in the original post, I’ve already tried GASE4, and the portamento is not an option unless automated or used by a controller.
I guess I should be more clear. Here is my ultimate goal:
When triggering pitched samples across the keyboard, is there any way to have ALL samples play back at the original speed, while changing pitch? As of now, if you are playing the root note, it is normal speed. As you go up in pitch, the sample plays faster and vice versa.
Example: Guitar sample that has a half-step bend, played at the same speed, when played lower or higher in pitch so that the bend is always happening at the same point in the beat and also the ability to use portamento/glide.
This thread is 7 years old, even after the launch of Cubase 13 I still can’t figure out a way for the exact same proble. When I open a sampler track in cubase using a one shot sample or such, the piano roll only speeds up and slows down the playback to pitch change. I want to pitch shift without speeding or slowing down the track is still be able to play on the piano roll. Something similar to Serato Sampler and assigning different pitches for the same sample and assigning to the piano roll.
