Step by step

  1. 01

    On an Instrument track, open the Instrument tab at the bottom and choose Sampler.

  2. 02

    Click Add samples… and pick a short audio file. It spans the whole keyboard.

  3. 03

    Play notes: higher keys play it higher, lower keys lower.

  4. 04

    Drag several files onto the Samples box to give each one its own key — handy for drum hits.

  5. 05

    Fine-tune each sample’s root key, key range, velocity range and round-robin group in its row.
