Samples Panel Display and Controls
For more information, see the following topics:
The Samples panel lets you load, view, shape, and organize samples for playback.
The Position A and B button lets you store samples in two different sets of Zones and Clips. The mix between Positions A and B can be controlled during playback using the A/B Blend slider in the Trigger, Expert, or Samples panels. For example, Position A could have a center hit snare sample and position B could have an off-center hit snare sample. Mixing between the A and B positions helps give triggered samples a fuller sound by blending between alternate samples. The A/B Blend control can be automated to vary the mix between Position A and Position B over time.
In the Samples panel, TL Drum Rehab lets you load up to four samples per Velocity Zone using Clips 1, 2, 3, and 4. Use the Clip Playback Mode pop-up menu to select whether the Clips are triggered in sequential order (Cycle) or in random order (Random). Using slightly different sounds on multiple Clips per Zone adds a greater degree of realism by adding variety to the sound. For example, you might want to load samples of the same drum played with slightly different stick positions into Clips 1–4 and have TL Drum Rehab trigger them in random order for a more realistic sounding “performance.”
1 In the Samples panel, select the Velocity Zone to which you want to add a sample.
2 Click the desired Clip: 1, 2, 3, or 4. In order to select a Clip, there must be a sample already loaded into the preceding clip.
3 In the Library browser (located to right of the Main window), double-click the sample (WAV, AIF, or SD2) you want to add. TL Drum Rehab loads the sample into the selected Clip for the selected Zone.
5 From the Clip Playback Mode pop-up menu, select Cycle or Random to determine whether the clips playback in sequence or in random order.
The DRP Name display displays the name of currently loaded DRP file above the Waveform display in the Samples panel. This is the same as in the Trigger panel (see TL Drum Rehab DRP Name Display).
The # of Zones pop-up menu lets you select the number of Velocity Zones into which you can load samples. TL Drum Rehab lets you have up to 16 Velocity Zones. This is the same as in the Trigger panel (see TL Drum Rehab # of Zones).
In the Samples panel, click Play to audition the currently loaded sample for the selected Zone and Clip.
In the Samples panel, click Clear to clear the currently loaded sample for the selected Zone and Clip.
In the Samples panel, the Velocity Map functions the same as in the Trigger panel (see TL Drum Rehab Velocity Map and Velocity Zones).
In the Samples panel, click Invert to invert the phase of all Clips in the currently selected position (A or B). Invert can be useful for ensuring phase alignment with other drum tracks in the session. It can also be used for shaping the tone of drum sounds—a classic analog technique.
The Sample Name display displays the name of the sample currently loaded into the selected Zone and Clip is displayed right above the Clear button.
In the Samples panel, the Velocity Map functions the same as in the Trigger panel (see TL Drum Rehab Velocity Map and Velocity Zones).
