Sampler Tracks
The sampler track feature allows you to chromatically play back any audio from your audio sample library via MIDI. You can create and edit new sounds based on specific samples, and integrate them into an existing project.
Sample Editing and Playback Functions
All sample editing in Sampler Control is non-destructive.
Setting the Root Key Manually
The Root Key shows the original pitch of the sample. Sometimes, if the sample does not contain any root key information or if you want the sample to play at a different pitch, you must set the root key manually. In Slice mode, lowering the root key allows you to increase the number of slices that can be mapped to your keyboard.

Setting the Root Key Manually

The Root Key shows the original pitch of the sample. Sometimes, if the sample does not contain any root key information or if you want the sample to play at a different pitch, you must set the root key manually. In Slice mode, lowering the root key allows you to increase the number of slices that can be mapped to your keyboard.

- In the keyboard section of Sampler Control, click and drag the root key handle.
