Topic: Sample Manager - Korg NanoPad and VDJScript

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Does anyone know if the sample manager can be passed parameters via VDJScript? I can't find any documentation. I want to link the nanopad so when I change the scene it changes the bank on the plugin.

However, not even sure that will work as I don't think the scene button sends MIDI back to the host.

Any suggestions as to how I could do this or how I could set up for banks of samples using just the nanopad and VDJScript?

Cheers,

Roy

This is a SUPER idea but I cant get it to work. I tried to click on the action learn way and it didnt work. You clcik on the "action learn" button then click the button on the skin, well it didnt work. Not sure if its becasue the buttons cant be mapped or if you cant do it with effect buttons.

We need SYNTH on this, lol!!
 
unfortunately I couldn't map the manager when I tried a while ago...

you can map a button to load a bank of samples though..

Sampler 1 load "filepath/to/sample.mp3" & Sampler 2 load "filepath/to/sample.vdj" & Sampler 3 load "filepath/to/sample.wav" & Sampler 4 load "filepath/to/sample.mp3" & Sampler 5 load "filepath/to/sample.vdj" & etc...

But I'm not sure the nano pads bank selector buttons send midi... In that case you should map every pad with load eg

Pad 1
Sampler 1 load "filepath/to/sample.mp3" & Sampler 1 play_stop

Pad 2
Sampler 2 load "filepath/to/sample.mp3" & Sampler 2 play_stop

then change the hard shift and repeat for all the banks you want to use.

the fastest way to get all the filepaths is to use the sampler manager plugin, save a bank, then open the ini file with notepad in the plugins folder. You will see all the filepaths for your samples and you can paste them in. Hopefully the sampler manager will be fixed in VDJ8 although I think it has to be to accommodate the new sampler functionality.
 
 
 
Have made it really simple.. Seeing as I'm having to load the sample each time. I'm just using a single sample slot:

SC1 B1 Sampler 12 load "D:\Users\DJ\Dropbox\Studio\DJ's\Soundchaser\Soul Intention (Flash).mp3" & Sampler 12 play_stop
SC1 B2 Sampler 12 load "D:\Users\DJ\Dropbox\Studio\DJ's\Soundchaser\Soul Intention (Wind).mp3" & Sampler 12 play_stop
SC1 B3 Sampler 12 load "D:\Users\DJ\Dropbox\Studio\DJ's\Soundchaser\Soul Intention (Reverse Echo).mp3" & Sampler 12 play_stop
SC1 B4 Sampler 12 load "D:\Users\DJ\Dropbox\Studio\DJ's\Soundchaser\Soundchaser Supermix (Delay).mp3" & Sampler 12 play_stop
SC1 B5 Sampler 12 load "D:\Users\DJ\Dropbox\Studio\DJ's\Soundchaser\Soul City_KayJay TAG 1.mp3" & Sampler 12 play_stop
SC1 B6 Sampler 12 load "D:\Users\DJ\Dropbox\Studio\DJ's\Soundchaser\Soul City_KayJay TAG 2.mp3" & Sampler 12 play_stop
SC1 B7 Sampler 12 load "D:\Users\DJ\Dropbox\Studio\DJ's\Soundchaser\Soul City_KayJay TAG 3.mp3" & Sampler 12 play_stop
SC1 B8 Sampler 12 load "D:\Users\DJ\Dropbox\Studio\DJ's\Soundchaser\Soul City_KayJay TAG 4.mp3" & Sampler 12 play_stop

As for the other scenes it's:

SC2 B1 Sampler 12 load "" & Sampler 12 play_stop
SC3 B1 Sampler 12 load "" & Sampler 12 play_stop
SC4 B1 Sampler 12 load "" & Sampler 12 play_stop

This means I can keep the remaining slots for when I'm not using the nanoPad and keep them mapped to my MC-6000!

The load and play is instantaneous and works a treat. I just need a simple print of what scene does what and I'll be a happy bunny ;-)

Thanks for helping me think this through...

Cheers,

Roy
