Group — Selecting this will load Sampler into a new Instrument Rack.
Fold — Folds Sampler so that only the device title bar is visible. Unfold quickly by double-click-
ing the device title bar.
Show Preset Name — By default, Sampler takes the top-most sample in the sample layer list as
its title. Unchecking Show Preset Name will replace the current title with “Sampler.”
Lock to Control Surface — Locks Sampler to a natively supported control surface defined in the
MIDI/Sync Preferences, guaranteeing hands-on access no matter where the current focus is in
your Live Set. By default, Sampler will automatically be locked to the control surface when the
track is armed for recording. A hand icon in the title bar of locked devices serves as a reminder
of their statuses.
Save as Default Preset — Saves the current state of Sampler as the default preset.
Use Constant Power Fade for Loops — By default, Sampler uses constant-power fades at loop
boundaries. Uncheck this to enable linear crossfades at looping points.
Sampler -> Simpler — Converts Sampler presets to Simpler presets.
24.7.4 Sampler’s Tabs
Sampler’s features are organized categorically into tabs (Zone, Sample, Pitch/Osc, Filter/
Global, Modulation and MIDI), accessed from Sampler‘s title bar. Clicking a tab will, with the
exception of the Zone tab, reveal its properties below. In addition to serving as an organiza-
tional aid, each tab has one or more LEDs that indicate if there is modulation information in the
corresponding area. We will get to know Sampler by examining each of these tabs.
