Don’t know if this has already been mentioned… Sometimes you just want to add one or two sounds to an existing drumkit. Since classic lift & drop does not work here, I discovered a workaround for this:
Lift the drumkit and drop it on tape. CAUTION: the beginning contains a lot of noise, it’s the meta data of the drumkit! Don’t modify that part! Go to the end of the tape portion, and record the sounds you want to add to the drumkit (you may also cut some existing sounds you don’t need to get some extra sample time). Be careful not to exceed the maximum drumkit sample length of 12 seconds. When done, join the new recorded slices to the rest of the drumkit (SHIFT + CUT). Then lift and drop back into DRUM mode. Now you just need to map the new sounds to the keys (adjust sample start and end points, etc.).
Nice. I actually posted a while back asking if this was possible and nobody suggested this!
I tried it out yesterday and it’s definitely easier to add new sounds onto the end (vs. replacing/adding a sound in the middle of thie kit) so you don’t have to remap all the keys again.
sorry to resurrect this old thread, but couldn’t find any other discussion on this!
I am trying to execute this (with the field, not OG) and when I drop back to the drum sampler (from the tape, after adding new sounds to the end) , I lose my markers. Is this feature exclusive to the OG?
Regrettably it is. I reached out to TE and they said that the manual even has a misprint about it. They switched file formats so there is not the noisy metadata anymore. If you opened an OG1 sound in Audacity and looked at the “Comments” field in the metadata, it showed the ADSR and other settings but sounds from the field do not do this now.
