How to play a sample in LIVE mode

You can assign this sample either to a Single patch or a Sampleset, then go to sequencer and write a phrase with only one note that plays the specific patch or sampleset. The note can be written to be held for as long as you wish. Then assign this phrase to RPS. But since you use the pads for something else, you have the option for RPS on the keyboard. You can assign this phrase to a single key on the keys. When you hit the certain key, the phrase will play. When you hit it again, it will stop.

Thank you Cyclop, I try that right away!

Is there a way to have 16 tracks in LIVE mode instead of 8 + 8 ch. ?

No, this is not possible. You only have 8 internal parts plus 8 external parts. With optional ARX boards, you have all the parts from the expansion boards too. Currently, the three available ARX boards (ARX-01 Drums, ARX-02 Electric Piano and ARX-03 Brass) offer up to one part, so the maximum for the Live mode is 8+2+8=18 parts, but only 8 "normal" parts.

If you want 16 parts, you can use Studio mode. Using Studio mode, you have every feature of Live mode (except for seamless switching), plus you get more FX and more parts.

That's right, I was doing that, but it's longer to separate the instrument (must go into the patch directly and save it and..) It's also longer in a show when I have to switch between my "songs" for every new setting.. But like you said, there are other advantages and besides that it would be easy to start a sample or anything just with the PLAY button.

I just was thinking, in fact it would be possible cheating a little bit, in a part,when you ProEdit it, you can put more than one patch (up to 4 tone switch) and you can choose the splitting (the notes) for each tone switch. Right?

Thanks for the fast answers Appreciate it!

Yes this is possible. Actually, if you have many samples, you can create either a Sampleset, a Multisample, or even assign samples in a Drumset. This way you'll have many samples per part, and you can multiply this by 8 (Live mode) or 16 (Studio mode).

Hi,

I know you already answered, but I spent so much time and I'm not sure Im doing it the best way.
The only thing I want to do is to play LIVE with a song that I Sample from my computer (hit a key to play, hit again to stop)

Ok, I plug in USB my computer and Sample it with the FG. I open a Studio song and with a sample set (with my sample) I burn a phrase (it's already one step I'd like to skip.. must go into sample pad and put the trigger mode to DRUM and sometimes it doesn't work well).

Then I can in LIVE mode put a Rythm-pattern or RPS with the Pad mode/Setting and assign my new phrase with a key to hit. I put "Control/keyboard/RhytmorRPS because I'll use the PADS for mute tracks.

Why the phrase does not play????? Do I need to assign one of my 8 part one with a The sample Set ?? Even then it doesn't work.



Am I doing right??




It's long, and everything will depend of a phrase. My phrase can be deleted, modificated, sometimes my keyboard bug because the sample is heavy (about 4 min = 45 MEG).


Appreciate your help
