Step Sequencer and Wav files?

[Cobus Prinsloo]

Hi all. As I've mentioned before, I use the SS a lot for my drum tracks. Several virtual "instruments" have pretty decent drum kits, and I've set up SS templates for their use with MIDI (see screenshot)

However, I have built up quite a large library of percussion sounds in WAV format, and want to know if there's any way to map WAV clips to keys of the MIDI keyboard to enable me to use them in my SS as well? If not, I think it would be a cool feature to add to Sonar.

Lastly, what platform is recommended to post my music made in Sonar, for feedback?

Thank you.

Normally you would use a drum sampler.

Wouldn’t that new sampler they added do this? I used the one included with Next which for sure played drums , never tried the Sonar version.

Cakewalk XSampler only holds one sample at a time.

I would use NI Battery, but of course any multi-sample sampler would probably do. Indeed, if you have Cakewalk Session Drummer 3 from the olden days, that should be fine as well. In Session Drummer 3, samples can be dragged onto the different kit pieces and then saved as a user kit.

Unfortunately not it only holds a single sample.

Sitala is a nice little drum sampler.
