Welcome to your first step towards a sleeker, more cost-effective studio setup! In this beginner-friendly tutorial, I’ll guide you through the process of sampling MIDI synths directly into DAW samplers like Logic Pro and Bitwig. Learn how to capture and utilize your favorite sounds from analog gear, creating compact, playable patches. This method not only makes your setup more manageable but also protects you from the depreciation of bulky, rarely used equipment.
Whether you’re looking to declutter, speed up your workflow, or save money as your old gear loses value, this guide will help you transform your studio into a modern, digital powerhouse. Join me as we dive into the techniques of multisampling your MIDI gear, turning the old into the new and freeing up space and funds for your musical journey.
Do you want some multisampled patches from my studio? Lemme know in the comments!

Thank you Mattias for a great demo improving sampling workflow. Could you explain how the Bitwig sampler managed to get the note/key mapping correct at the first try?

That's a great question.

Well the filenames spit out of the auto sampler are named with their root-key that they are sampled in. C3, Gb3 (F#), C4, Gb4 etc. So it's easy for any sampler to know where to set the root key and approx place the sample coverage. I think the functionality to analyse the root key is also built into the sampler if a sample lacks the naming convention. But of course it's gonna be more accurate if we have the naming convention setup. In Logic you are probably gonna use it's own Auto Sampler to make this, and that way everything will be more correct in terms of naming convention that it's sampler prefers etc. So it will work out of the box. I wanted to show a FREE approach for anyone (may it be PC / Mac) so using MPC Beats is the only free good alternative I know of....that can also velocity sample. And with very easy and fast workflow! 👌

oh, I feel the pain of manual sampling and editing for 10000 hours... 😂🍿 correct?

Thanks for the tutorial. It would have been nice to have Programm change and sample the whole bank/instrument.

Yeah that’s a shortcoming compared to the paid software Sample Robot which is more sophisticated

It's maybe a good way for Sample-Based synths, some Digital but not for analog or Digital/Analog synths, where you can always create a new sound.

Yeah a sample will always be a static sample. If you don’t program additional modulation on top.

Tjabba Matte, Kan man göra RR på denna prg? för varje Layer typ? Skulle va superb Tack för videon

@MattiasHolmgren 20 күн бұрын

if you want to do Round Robin sampling. I guess a workarouns is to just trigger another round of autosampling and rename the files slightly manuall. So you got rr1, rr2 or whatnot. 🤷‍♂️ may work on some instruments depending on how their RR is programmed.

Sample Robot would be the quickest way to do that

@MattiasHolmgren 21 күн бұрын

Yeah that's also a solution. But then again Sample Robot is not free (I did use Sample Robot like 20 years back 😂). Showing a FREE solution was the whole point of my video. 🎁 And it's also quite convenient to do it with MPC Beats....or personally I do it via Auto Sampler in Logic Pro which is also straightforward process.

@@MattiasHolmgren so as far as the windows users they can use a midi file to trigger the notes and then use a trial version of Awave Studio to edit and export to SF2 or SFZ and there are plenty of free Soundfont player plugins

@aharonpearl9161 windows users can obviously also use MPC beats.

@@MattiasHolmgren yes but mpc beats does not export SF2 and SF2 is the most universal sound file as it can be used for free in every OS including mobile devices and most keyboards that have samplers

@aharonpearl9161 indeed but you can use the resulting .wav files in any sampler / format you want. That’s the beauty. Of course you can fiddle other apps to make it into sf2 if you want.
