Unable to trigger a sampler track?

Using v.2.1.10.2107 on MacOS

My hope, is to map a sample onto a key of my MIDI controller so I can press the key during a performance and trigger the sample. It seems like this should be simple. but I’m not having much luck finding documentation or tutorials on how to do so.

So far, I have been able to create a Sampler Track for the Song and Part in question. I’ve got an aiff loaded into the Sampler Track which I can trigger from the virtual keyboard in the editor, but so far, I have been unable to get my MIDI controller to trigger the sample.

If any one could point me in the correct direction, I’d appreciate it.

Why don’t use HALion in a layer for that?

Unfortunately, I only have HALion Sonic. However, it seems, that using a Sampler Track, I should be able to do it without HALion.

HALion was only an example. You can use any free sample player as instrument.

… have you configured your MIDI-Input Port? And is the Monitor control activated?

See you,
Michael.

Yes, I was able to work around the issue by using Kontakt, but it seems that I should have been able to use the Sampler track. Thanks.

Ah… I was missing the “monitor control” being activated. Mystery solved. Thanks!

Now next question is how to keep the monitor control active between gigs. It looks like the project always loads with the monitor control deactivated :wink:

there is an option to save monitor and rec states in the preferences!

Hi! Yes for monitor

Thanks!
