OMNI SAMPLER
Omni Sampler expands Alpha Sampler simple drag-and-drop concept to a familiar
16-pad drum machine grid sampler with easily switchable “grids,” allowing up to 128
simultaneously loaded samples. Better still, Omni Sampler features independent pitch,
filter, and envelope settings for each pad location.
Omni Sampler is included with Mixcraft 7 (Standard Edition) and Mixcraft Pro Studio.
It’s not included with Mixcraft Home Studio, but it’s a good reason to upgrade!
SAMPLE PAD GRID
Omni Sampler can have up to 128 simultaneously loaded samples, with 16 sample
pads viewable at any time. The matrix grid on the left allows quick selection of which
16 sample pads are currently viewable in the 4x4 pad grid. The currently selected 4x4
pad grid is represented in the pad bank selector either by yellow squares indicating
pads with samples currently loaded, or gray pads indicating visible pads with no
sample currently loaded. To change which pads are currently visible in the 4x4 pad
grid, click within the pad bank selector. Keep in mind that sample pads always have
a one-to-one relationship with MIDI notes, and the MIDI note number of each pad is
fixed, starting at C-1 for the top left pad, going up to G9 for the bottom right pad.
