I know the difference between samples and sounds. I’m not sure about the sound pool: does it contain the samples that you copy from the +plus drive and then make them available for projects? Is it the RAM (64MB on the DT1)?

I think this video should help. And pictures always help me … this is from the video.

Thanks for the links. I’m slowly getting the hang of how the structure with sounds/samples/soundpool works. My main problem is still: How do I transfer my sample library from the Mac (various folders with WAV files) to the +drive (bulk copy) using “transfer”? So that I can then access my samples in the +drive and copy them from there to the DT’s sound pool (RAM).

Hi,

The method described several posts ago where you click on your sample folder and drag it into transfer is specifically how you get your samples to the +drive.

It sounds like the problem you’re having is with the method of how to access your samples on the +drive and then add them as sounds to the sound pool and the process is very specific because you need to save your sample as a sound.

Again, I will say this clearly, your sample must be saved as a sound, there is no getting around that. Your samples are not automatically sounds, that’s why I stressed the difference in my prior post, because you must then manually save a sample as a sound in order to use it as a “sound” in the "sound pool.

For importing samples into the sound pool, there is a very good description of the process right here in the post I quoted below, and this linked post is exactly how you access your samples in the +drive on a digitakt and then save them as sounds and import them into the sound pool:

Soundpool basics (help!)

Apologies if this was answered but to the original question, here’s a simple breakdown. Hope that helps. Step 1: Edit your sound (pre-made or from scratch) Step 2: FUNC + IMP/EXP Step 3: Select: Export Sound Step 4: Select Save Location (Starts you off at C:001 since the previous 256 come with. Level Data knob to scroll up) Step 5: Name your SOUND Step 6: Select which categories it applies to. (Easier to find via category search later) Step 7: Hit ‘Save’ (first option on that category lis…

Hopefully that will help some!

It’s as easy as opening Transfer, go to the drop page and drag & drop all your sample folders (from a finder window).

Then wait for a long time and there you have all your samples on the +drive of your DTII.

Hi guys, im having some issues with loudness when using Transfer. In this case, im taking a sample from a DAW project and transferring to the DT2 using Transfer.
After transfer the level is very low, as well as no audio wave on the DT2.

What am i missing? Do i need to normalize the audio before transfer?
