Hello,
Practical question.
When I start looping, I tend to turn the track volumes down a lot, and I end up with a huge gap between the volume of my loop and the volume of the sample preview in the drive. The latter is way too loud, and it becomes impossible to hear if the samples sound good with the loop.
Do you know if it’s possible to adjust the volume of the sample playback in the drive?
Hello! I’m pretty sure this was asked and answered earlier (about the DN but the same thing):
It’s not currently possible to control the volume of the preview. Perhaps it would be wise to ensure you are playing your tracks louder so the preview doesn’t seem so loud in comparison.
Ok thanks, I had a slim hope. It’s a shame not to have this setting!
Check the other (linked) thread, I proposed a workaround which is also useful for digitakt when previewing from the sound browser.
The sample preview is as loud as the track level of the track that is selected while previewing the sample. So just turn down the track level of the selected track.
Yes with samples of the sound pool but not with samples of the drive!
So, I just have to select my sounds and load them into the sound pool, it’s ok but a little more limiting to search for new samples which match with the loop.
I just tried it and it works with samples from the +drive.
We shouldn’t do the same thing then.
For my part, I select a track, lower the volume, then I press func + samples, enter the drive, and scroll through the samples.
When I do this, the volume of the samples doesn’t match the volume of the track…
I probably didn’t exactly understand what you mean.
When i turn the track level down the level of the previewed sample also gets lower.
And you want to make the sample in the track the same volume as the previewed sample?
Can’t you just take one of the tracks which is currently not playing/looping and set that track level to the desired sample preview volume?
Basically, I wanted to change the volume of samples when I access the drive outside of the project.
So I could search for new samples that aren’t in the sound pool.
I understood that the volume of the tracks only affects the samples loaded in the project, that’s why I was looking for a way to lower the volume of the drive sounds (outside the project).
I still don’t get it but that’s not your problem. 
Sorry for wasting your time. I thought i had the solution to your problem.
No problem. I think I’m explaining the problem poorly.
Anyway, this topic has already been covered in a previous thread, so thanks anyway.
i do it like this:
select track, lower volume, go to SRC, SAMP (encoder D), choose slot, YES (for empty slot) / FUNC + YES (to overwrite used slot), enter keyboard mode, select sample from +drive by pressing YES and then TRIG 9 (C5 on they keyboard).
this way you even can quickly try out other notes too, and preview with a prepared effect chain, filter setup or whatever you like. cons to this are that you cant change the keyboard octave when browsing the +drive, which means you always have to make sure you are in the right octave before you go there and you cant load up multiple samples at the same time, just one to the selected sample slot.
hope this helps you!
Yes, that’s not bad! It allows you to stay on the OneDrive samples page, load them, and listen to them on the keyboard. Thanks
