sampler
Sample files, pitch and memory
The samplers read WAV and AIFF files copied into the samples folder over MTP; pitch comes from the file's metadata or a note in its name, and a project can load up to 64 MB of samples.
Anything copied into the samples folder shows up in the library, sorted by folder. Give files a root note in their metadata, or a note name in the file name, so the samplers play them in tune.
