Traktor S4 and Samples (Question for lucky testers) Posted on: 01.10.2010 by Johnsie Kingrea Hey everyone, just threw down my pre order for S4, so stoked. Anyways I was believeing about Samples and i'm confused by something. How will we go about loading samples into the banks. I know we can pull samples straight from the decks while they play but how will it work for just loading samples from the browser. Since they can only do 32 counts, how would you determine what shows up in the sample deck if you try and load a full track in there. Or will we have to use the Loop recorder to create our own and load them in after. Hope this question makes sense. | |

| nayit ruiz jaramillo 08.10.2010 | New icons have been added to the browser that show if it is a one shot or a loop. These icons show in the sampler slot header . |
| Adolf Hit 07.10.2010 | Each sample slot has a lot of control which is accesable via midi, but not shown on the UI. |
| Johnsie Kingrea 07.10.2010 | Hey Karlos been believeing more about the samples. How does S4 determine whether the sample loaded is a loop or a one shot. |

Can you explain how loading and controlling them works, do you have to be in deck c and d mode to load and control them, also I noticed in the video that Shiftee was able to individually tweak the volume and filter of each sample or he could tweak all of them at the same time. How does that work? |
| Dorcas Bassignani 02.10.2010 | after setting a loop, you can transfer it to the one of the 'sample players' using the associated button, similar to setting a cue, and remove it with shift. it has a total loop length of 14 seconds, so not count based. didn't ask about the loading from library, but while fiddling it looks like you just browse and hit load to c or d. was interested in how i make and sample the loops on the fly. |
| Johnsie Kingrea 03.10.2010 | Just went through the interactive controller explorer on NI's site, turns out the loop in out buttons can be used to double or halve the length of samples. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these so I can understand it more. I have so many unanswered questions, and i'm just eager to see how simple the workflow is. |
| Leeanna Ayla 02.10.2010 | I'm just guessing here, but I believe if you already have an 8 beat loop you select it then reduce the loop size to 4. I do this all the time it's not that bad and I believe with the S4 loop size rotaries it'll be even easier. I'm guessing there's a sent to sample deck button, just click it and your good. |

| Rebbecca Fennell 01.10.2010 | i could be wrong but it sounds like you answered your own question. again - key word here this is SPECULATION on my part but it really looks like a 2 deck controller where the third and fourth decks are just loop grabbers. this can be either good or bad depending on your work flow. for someone who spends alot of time collecting and making loops this may be less then optimal as you would have to load it in a deck before resampling it into a loop deck. could be very wrong, i am just SPECULATING based on what i see i could be missing something painfully obvious though |
