We are the music makers - producers?

I have it set up with some of the bundled drum samples (kick, snare, hi-hat) and then some guitar stabs. Did this by dropping the kick drum into a midi track (not sure if that's the right term - I mean the vertical strip where you can record different parts using the same instrument), then added other samples.

This brought up a mapping for the trigger finger, and I dropped the other samples into it. If I understand the manual correctly, when you drop an audio sample into a midi mapping like this, it creates an instance of Simpler (with ADSL envelope, LFO, etc.) - which it did. But I can't figure out the gate or latch mode.

hmmm, do you mean you dropped the audio dample into the 'Mixer Window' - (thats the vertical strip one).....the audio sample can't be put into a midi track here...midi is information whereas audio is audio....however, audio can be placed into a sample map. I'm still not sure of the settings in simpler though. Do you use it with a laptop? I can have a look at it if you want and help with the set up?

I can come see you or visa versa? It's up to you.
