first up… loading your own sample into groove agent is a pain on a single screen. with mediabay beatdesigner and groove agent loaded there is just not enough screen space. so how about a simple right click on the pad and insert sample option?
second… it would be fabulous if you could assign a pad to a midi track you can then transpose a sample up and down the keys! cubase would finally have that simple sampler we’ve all been waiting for!

If screen space is your problem, have you tried the new MediaBay “Mini Browser”? It’s assigned to F7 by default. Works great in combination with saved browse locations. I use the full view to set up my browse locasions and I can then quickly jump between views in the Mini Browser with the “Locations” section visible on top of the result list. Saves a lot of screen real estate.
Re. Transpose: would you really consider transpose up and down from a keyboard to be sufficient for calling it a “sampler”?
i just wont a simple sampler like the one in abelton. i would love to cut a bit of audio out of my project sling it on to a pad and mess around with loads of fx and spice it up. i love the drag and drop of groove agent. at the moment i’m cutting samples out exporting it then loading it up in to kontact. its a drag! im a house music producer and work with friend on abelton and the thing you can get done quickly like this is amazing!
Have you ever tried cutting a bit of audio out of a track and drag it onto Loopmash? There’s a lot of stuff you can do with the new performance fx in LoopMash 2.
