Small controller for sample decks, TSP2

[jayo]

Dope- I didnt see your post, i was writing my response at the time, but that seems like it may be useful for me. Would use both decks C and D with your mapping, or only one extra deck?

So would it be possible to create a loop on decks A/B and drop it down into the sample decks, giving me some sound from the previous track to bridge will bring in the new (3rd) track?

Can anyone answer this for me???

I'm not familliar with sample decks, but i think that when you trigger a sample slot that is empty, it automatically records the sound going on on the deck above( A <=> C / B <=> D)

And about the mapping idea i posted, you can choose from C to D because the LPD8 has 4 programs.
When you hit the small "program" button on the left, you choose your program, and all pads and knobs are different. I'm not sure i'm explaining well tho.
Imagine that when you are in program 1. Each pad will be named "1,2,3,.....7,8". YOu assign them to sample deck C.
But in program 2, each pad will have a different name, like "9,10,11...15,16". And you can assign them to deck D for example.
So yeah, you can control even 4 sample decks if you want to.
The switch between decks requieres you to change program (it takes only 1 sec but that's 1 sec you might need in your performance, so a small controller is not as pratical as a big one with 16 pads)


Talking about mapping is a bit confusing when you write it down just like i did, so if you have trouble understanding what I meant, I'll try to do a mapping and show you how it works via a video.

When I got my X1 I mapped my Dicers to the sample decks. Small, efficient, and they don't take up any unnecessary room in my set up. And, at only $100 for a pair, not to deep on your wallet.
