Topic: Assign certain tracks to certain sampler banks

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Is it possible by scripting to include a code in the track name for example "SAMPBANK1" which makes the sample bank named "SAMPBANK1" pop up in the sampler view?
That means I could create track specific samples which are called up automatically when loading a certain track.
Or perhaps include the name of the samplebank somewhere else in the MP3 tag area?

Yeah possible. I told someone how ages ago, something like a repeat start script waiting for a load pulse, when the load pulse is triggered query the track name if it matches call the sample bank.

It all gets a bit lengthy though once you're querying for one of a possible lots.

What would be cool would be a database entry for related sample bank, query and call from there.

Actually just thinking for a second... just a action poi on your track right on the loadpoint to call the bank, a quick jab of cue and job's a goodun.

That would also be my suggestion

Go to the POI editor of the track and add an ACTION POI at the very beginning of the track with something like:
sampler_bank "<the name of the sample bank>"
as the macro

Then the sample back should change to the one you want as soon as you start playing the track

Instead of storing all the possible track names and sample banks in the script, you could still store it in a tag field.
On load, the script could query the 'user1' field for example, use param_contains to check if it includes some part of a common sample_bank name, and if so, load the sample bank based on that field.

Thanks for that, I wasn't sure about querying the user# tags.
I may use this my own setup.

Thanks for all ideas.
I realize there will be conflict between the two decks. Playing sample 1 on bank A, and loading another track to Deck 2, will change the sampler bank.
Then one have to assign certain "slots" on the sampler exclusive for Deck 1 and Deck 2. Getting messy...

Maybe, maybe not, a pad page could query the deck & user field & call the bank & call the sample.
There could be other ways to avoid the conflict.
