Hi all, this is my first music device and I’m trying to wrap my head around it, just read the manual.
As I understand it, a Sound is a Sample+Settings. A Pattern contains 8 Audio Tracks which each have a Sound loaded to it. When viewing a Track, you can see which Sample is loaded to the Sound (the number in the right hand corner of the SRC page), and also its settings. A Sample has a name, and a Sound can also be exported to a library and given a name. If I’m right, a Sample always has a name, while exporting and naming a Sound is optional, as it is always stored in a given Track of a given Pattern?
Now, my real question, while exploring the factory patterns, is there a way to see if the current Track has loaded a named Sound (one from the factory settings for example), or does that information dissapear as soon as you load a Sound to a Track?
I too would like to know the answer to this.
Hmm I’m not sure you can do it. But I think when you import the sound into a track, the sample it uses gets loaded onto the sample list, right? At list you can keep track of that. Maybe they didn’t think displaying the sound name would matter since sounds are samples with very specific settings and you are likely to change some of them around anyway.
Yes you can see which sample is used in the Sound. But you can’t see which Sound you loaded. Perhaps this is intentional, perhaps this it not useful either, I was just wondering.
I’m not sure the factory patterns use sounds , they hadnt been invented/part of the firmware when it shipped.
and although theyre useful , after then initial few days of having them i’ve never gone back. the DT hasnt got a lot of things to deal with … after a short while you’ll probably get by without them… but i’m sure many other people use them a lot.
definately handy if you have a sample chain (lots of induvidual noises in a single sample , search the forum for more info ) so you dont have to tediously scroll through sample point by fractions of a specific number and constantly overshoot / undershoot the number,
ok thanks for the reply!
