Hello there, thank you so much for doing this video. Your explanation of how to use that sampler was superb. I’m registered as blind, so having the advantage of someone like yourself kindly explaining how this process works as I’m sure you can imagine is so very helpful.
Very well explained. Another usecase is to transform a monophonic instrument (hardware or VST) into a polyphonic one. I've done that with Acoustic Samples VWind flutes.
Great video Jono. Really helpful. Now I see why my question last weeks was so close! I'll admit Ive never played with sampler in this way. But seeing as I picked up a late 90s Rompler Synth recently that while it sounds great. It weighs a ton! I can sample the patches I want and carry a lightweight midi controller to rehearsals/Gigs! Phew!
Absolutely! It's a great way to be able to take your core sounds - irrespective of their hardware origin - wherever you want to go. And it'll save your back in the process. A double win!
Nice, love Akai AutoSampler. Some potential ‘gotchas’ for people. If keytracking is tied to LFO for eg on vibrato, and that’s temp sync’d, the note stride/intervals will need to be short otherwise it’ll sound wrong when pitched. Also, guitars like Prominy etc have velocity 127 as pinch harmonics (also lower as mutes) So keep an eye on the velocity layers you capture
@@jonobuchananmusic Thanks for all your hard work. I’ve used Logic for years and your videos always provide excellent information and more over, give inspiration to try other things. Thanks 🙏
Thank you for this interesting video. Do you plan to do another one about the auto-looping settings of Autosampler? Some are peculiars and affect the samples themselves
Great video, thanks so much! Is there any chance you can make a video about how would you go about sampling an electric guitar? I have in mind first sampling a bunch of individual notes (clean) and then also (using your final video comment) sampling the same notes after they have been through an effects chain. Thanks again Jono, your channell keeps getting better and better.
Really interesting stuff in here Jono, thanks as always. I wonder one day could you do a video(s) on Low Frequency Oscillation or even some wider teachings on synthesis. synthesis 101 :) . All these parameters and options scare the bejesus out of me, but looks really cool and have no doubt you can do loads of really awesome stuff I imagine. You have dipped in and out in previous vids, anyways, just a thought. When I look at the ES2 interface, for instance, I don't know where to start.
Hi Danny. Really interesting question and, in truth, not something I'd tried until you suggested it. Samples created via Auto Sampler are automatically added to the Samples > Autosampled folder within the Music Apps folder and from there, you can certainly select them all to be loaded into one of Alchemy's sound sources (A, B, C or D). However, by default, whilst they're all available as a list, they're effectively 'queued', so that only one is active in Alchemy's default sample mode. I suspect that it's possible to line up multiple samples in order that you might want to move through them as a series of individual waves and there might be interesting granular capabilities too. Let me take a deeper dive into this and I'll come back to you if I find out anything interesting!

Thank you so much - I'm delighted to hear it was helpful.
What a brilliant feature. Thank you for posting this.
You're very welcome! Thanks.
I never knew about this! Nice work, Jono. I can confirm my teas have been significantly tastier in my JB mug, too. ☕
Ha! Excellent, many thanks Chris. And very pleased to introduce you to a feature I hope you'll find very useful.
Another great video. Thanks Jono!
Thank you!
Thank you for that! I didn't even know that the Autosampler existed but it could be very useful!
You’re welcome. And you’re right - it’s a hidden gem of a feature.
Very well explained. Another usecase is to transform a monophonic instrument (hardware or VST) into a polyphonic one. I've done that with Acoustic Samples VWind flutes.
Absolutely, that's a lovely tip. Have fun, MiniMoog owners! ; )
Very good, A great use of the auto sampling capability of logic, well explained!
Thanks so much, Dave. Glad it was helpful.
Thanks Jono!
You're welcome!
Fantastic -just great timing as I'm looking to sample and keep sounds from my Pro 1 and MS20 . As ever a great delivery
Super - thanks Lee.

All very useful points. Thanks for sharing them.

Thank you! Absolutely, there'll be plenty more to come on the Sampler and its assorted options (including Looping) in future episodes.

Hi Ian. That's something I'll happily add to the list. Thanks for the suggestion.

Funny you should mention that, John... stay tuned!
Thanks for another fantastic video. Can you easily load the auto samples into Alchemy?
