I know I've posted this before but...
I've got a Delta 44, and a M-Audio Radium 49 going through my USB port. I was wondering if there was anyway to load individual samples to the keys of the radium, like one key saying something, another key being a guitar loop, and so on. If that's possible how would I go about doing it? Using sonar 4 also.

Oct 05, 2005 08:50 am You can use a free software program, i'm looking for it now, that maps your keyboard to whatever sound you want. like, the Y key plays a car.wav, the T key plays a trumpet.wav, etc.
It works great. You can alt-tab away from it and it is no longer active, so you can do other stuff, then alt-tab back to it and it works again.
I'll find it . . .
Alternately, one could build a soundfont with all the necessary sounds in it, then play that soundfont in your host program, being controlled by the midi input. That seems like a lot of work though.

Soundplant is the animal. It's a kick to play with.

Oct 07, 2005 04:50 pm So is there a way to use your computer keyboard as a MIDI input device?
Like this same idea, but if you have a program that expects MIDI input to trigger samples, can you trigger them with your keyboard instead of a MIDI input device?

Oct 07, 2005 05:26 pm thats awesome, but I am looking more for a way to trigger them with my midi controller.
Tadpui - That software that PJK linked to does just what you asked

Oct 07, 2005 08:47 pm If you're still using SONAR as mentioned in your profile you should have 2 to choose from... The DR-008 DXi2 and Cyclone DXi.

Oct 09, 2005 09:41 pm Yeh Loki, the Cyclone DXi is just what your looking for. Simply load you samples in each section and away you go. There are a couple freeware sampler programs out there as well. If I remember what they are called I'll let ya know.
