Pre-listen sounds in a playing sequence or via external Midikeys

Hi! Is it possible to pre-listen sounds from the +drive direct in a playing sequence? So I can hear which bassdrum fits best to my already recorded pattern?

Or sometimes i´ve recorded a miditrack in Cubase/DAW playing the Bassdrum of the Rytm. Now I want to scroll through the Bassdrumsounds of the +Drive to hear, which Sound fits best in my arrangement. But I can´t. The only way ist to go into the soundbrowser and load a sound by clicking “yes”. For pre-listening the next Bassdrum while playing the track I have to go into the soundbrowser again and load the next drum, and so on. That´s anoying for my workflow.

Do you have any tips? Thanks!!!

function + yes = load sound without closing the sound browser.

The only way I have found is load all the candidate sounds into the project, then change the sample whilst the pattern is playing. When you are happy, go back into the Samples folder, change to View RAM and remove all the ones you don’t want from the project.

No. No auditioning as such
But holding Function whilst loading sounds (press Yes)(as above) will at least keep the browser open, been like (and auditioning requested) this for a while in A4 too, so may not improve beyond this mitigating key-combo
Pre-listening via keys(or internally) should be just fine, just not the underlying internal sequencer - until the sound is loaded, live playing over-rides the sequencer trigs so you’re most of the way there

I’ve just been looking at a forum post about chaining samples.

I wonder if that is another way of solving this problem, that is, putting 60 sounds in one WAV file, then using the Start and End parameters to audition each one.

The drawback is that you have to prepare the file in a DAW in advance. The advantage is that you keep all the sounds, useful if you change your mind. Also, as the sample can be p-locked on a trig you can change the sample during the performance.

I haven’t tried it yet but I’m going to give it a go.

How do you do this?

Ha, I just meant how do you View RAM? Couldn’t find this. Is it easier to just purge unwanted samples using F + Mixer > Project > Purge Samples to get rid of the unused samples

I can’t find any such command on the Rytm, seaarching on “purge” in the Rytm manual yields no results, but I can find it in the Octatrack manual, so that only applies to the Octatrack I think.

Yep that’s correct, there’s no “purge unused samples” in the Rytm.

A little help is that in the project sample slot list you see an ¤ to the right of the sample name (before the sample size) for all samples not used. (Or is it the other way around, I don’t remember… :D)
