Dec 06, 2004 12:03 am probably not. Probably can point and click to sequence whatever. But keyboards make it funner.
Dec 06, 2004 01:40 am oh cause my halion and others dont play any sounds?

Dec 06, 2004 01:54 am let me see. You have software samplers, right? You want them to make sounds, right? I've never used Halion, or probably any others except the one that comes with Reason. Now, I can use my mouse to point and click sequence any sounds I want in the Reason software sampler. I can also use my keyboard, but I don't need to.
Dec 06, 2004 02:02 am yeah i don't have reason yet so i think with my softsampler(s) i assign my sounds to keys then i have to play them on midi keyboard ...oh well

Dec 06, 2004 07:34 am read the manuals?
Dec 06, 2004 07:58 am I suppose so it's just kinda a pain in the butt
i like to just install run and go but yeah that's the most logical thing to do i guess im not the manual type but i will anyways
thanks

Dec 06, 2004 11:45 am It seems that most of these programs are available as VSTs in another program. You can probably point and click sequence in whatever host program you would use, if you want to avoid the keyboard.
Dec 06, 2004 08:42 pm ok thanks alot i'll try it out

Dec 09, 2004 10:49 pm I would think if you bought a $400.00 softsampler you would have the manual, and it has all the details in it. I use SampleTank 2 and it is easy as pie. It will function as a stand alone or as a VSTi as coolo said.
Dec 09, 2004 11:29 pm Yeah i figured it out for some reason i thought when i loaded it up the sounds would too
little did i know i had too import them!
This was my first crack at using a sampler of any type so I was just not informed enough about them to know what i was doing so now i know to read a manual before posting a question when the answers right in the manual
Sorry for being so lazy
