Sampler in Logic Pro for iPad
Sampler is a sample playback instrument.
Note: Sampler provides no user controls in Details view. A Volume knob that sets the overall instrument level is shown in the Plug-ins area.
Audio files, called samples, are combined into tuned, organized collections called sampler instruments. A sampler instrument is the file type that is loaded into Sampler. When you choose a sampler instrument, the associated audio files are automatically located and are loaded into RAM. You play and record the loaded sampler instrument in the same way as any software instrument.
Because sampler instruments are based on audio recordings, they are ideally suited to emulating real instruments such as guitars, pianos, and drums.
Sampler provides an extensive library of sampler instruments that includes these and many other sounds. You can load sampler instruments or patches from the Browser.
Logic Pro for iPad Sampler provides playback compatibility with Logic Pro for Mac projects. You can load presets for this plug-in, but parameter editing is available only when using Logic Pro for Mac.
Note: In the Logic Pro for Mac version of Sampler, you can analyze imported samples and can manipulate them using the Sampler synthesis engine. Logic Pro for Mac Sampler provides extensive sample mapping, looping, and grouping facilities that make it easy to create instruments containing hundreds of samples and layers. Dozens of modeled analog and digital filters are available, in addition to an extensive modulation section.
To add Sampler to your project, choose it from the Instrument > Sampler submenu in an instrument channel strip or the Plug-ins area. See Intro to plug-ins.
