13. WORKING WITH LOOPS AND ONE-SHOT SAM-
PLES
In KOMPLETE KONTROL you can also work with loops and One-shot samples using the Sampler
plug-in or the Audio plug-in. In this section you will learn about the different use cases of the Sam-
pler plug-in and the Audio plug-in, how you load samples, how you open the Sampler plug-in and
the Audio plug-in, and how to switch between the Sampler plug-in and the Audio plug-in.
13.1. Sampler Plug-In and Audio Plug-In Use Cases
The Sampler plug-in and the Audio plug-in have different use cases and provide different parame-
ters for adjustments:
• With the Sampler plug-in you can define the start point and end point of the loaded sample,
and modify the shape and timing. For more information on the parameters of the Sampler plug-
in, refer to Sampler Plug-In.
• The Audio plug-in specializes in keeping audio loops playing in-sync with the sequencer in your
host software and has the optional ability to do so without influencing the key of the loop. Fur-
thermore, you can transpose the loop while it plays so that it fits the key of your song. For more
information on the parameters of the Audio plug-in, refer to Audio Plug-In.
13.2. Loading One-Shot Samples and Loops
When you load a sample of the content type One-shot from the Browser, the sample will be auto-
matically loaded into the Sampler plug-in. When you load a sample of the content type Loop from
the Browser, the sample will be automatically loaded into the Audio plug-in. However, once the
Sampler plug-in or the Audio plug-in is opened, you can still load loops and One-shot samples into
either of them.
To load a loop or One-shot sample from the Browser:
1. Select the first Plug-in slot in the Plug-in chain.
2. Select the content type Loop or One-shot sample in the Browser.
3. Refine your search using TYPES and CHARACTER tags.
4. Drag the loop or One-shot sample from the Results list into the Plug-in area.
The loop or One-shot sample is loaded into the corresponding plug-in. You can now play and
edit it using the parameters.
When the Audio plug-in is opened, loops and samples from the Browser will be loa-
ded into the Audio plug-in. When the Sampler plug-in is opened, loops and samples
from the Browser will be loaded into the Sampler plug-in.
