Set the note range parameters Range Start and Range End to encapsulate the lowest and highest note you will ever want to play, IВ generally set this from C0 to C7 (see ScreenВ 1, above). Now that our synth sound is ready for sampling, letвЂ™s look at the basic parameters of the Auto Sampler. If not, turn all the other oscillators off or down, then set all the LFO and envelope modulation to be equivalent to zero (or off) and, lastly, bypass any effects.

If the synth has an equivalent of an вЂinitвЂ™ or вЂdefaultвЂ™ patch with all the modulation and effects turned off then load that. Set up the synth so that you have the sound of aВ single, raw oscillator. IвЂ™m using my Moog Sub37, however you can use any synth from which you like the raw character of the oscillators. LetвЂ™s begin sampling with aВ single oscillator from an analogue synth. To avoid the risk of distortion, IВ always aim to leave at least 6dB of headroom.

Play aВ selection of notes from the full range of the keyboard and check that no note drives the input into distortion. As you play notes from the keyboard you should be able to monitor the output of the synth coming into the Auto Sampler. The Auto Sampler UIВ is divided into sections - click on the keyboard to check that your synth is set up correctly and receiving MIDI. To fix this, go to the Input field of the channel strip and set it again in there.) Next, add the Auto Sampler by clicking on the first insert slot in your new external instrument channel strip, then go to Utility / Auto Sampler. (IВ found aВ bug present where the audio input IВ set in the popвЂ‘up didnвЂ™t set the audio input on the channel strip. Then configure the audio and MIDIВ port options to reflect the connections to your synth. Click on the plus button at the topвЂ‘right of the Channel Strip Mixer UIВ to bring up the new Channel Strip popвЂ‘up, and set the Type to External Instrument. Now your connections are all set up, letвЂ™s add aВ channel strip to carry out the autoвЂ‘sampling. Lastly, go to MainStageВ 3 / Preferences / Audio and set the Audio Output and Audio Input fields to the audio interface your synth is plugged into. If MainStage loads the template in full screen mode simply click the X in the top leftвЂ‘hand corner to exit Perform mode and enter Edit mode. Open MainStage, go to File / New and from the Concert selection popвЂ‘up go to the Keyboards tab, then select the Keyboard option and click the Choose button. You will also need to connect the audio output of your synthesizer to the audio input of your audio interface. To begin, you will need to connect the MIDIВ out of your computer to your synthвЂ™s MIDIВ in so that MainStage can send your MIDIВ Notes to trigger voices to sample. If you donвЂ™t already own MainStage, itвЂ™s aВ bargain at ВЈ28.99 $29.99 - even if you just used the Auto Sampler and none of its other features, it still represents excellent value for money when compared to buying other equivalent autoвЂ‘sampling packages.

In this monthвЂ™s Logic workshop we look at how to autoвЂ‘sample hardware synthesizers to create EXS24 patches which can then be used in Logic. However, it wasnвЂ™t until 2015, with the release of MainStage 3.1, that we saw Apple put that technology into one of their products.

In 2012 Apple acquired the Italian company Redmatica and their Auto Sampler, Keymap Pro and EXS Manager software titles. If you own one of the many analogue monosynths from companies like Moog, Korg or Behringer and have dreamt of having aВ polyphonic version of that synth then autoвЂ‘sampling could be aВ great way to explore some of those possibilities. Turn hardware monosynths into software polysynths by autoвЂ‘sampling in LogicвЂ™s companion app, MainStage. Here itвЂ™s configured to sample every three semitones and the Auto Loop parameter is set to вЂSearchвЂ™ so it automatically finds the best loop points. ScreenВ 1: The Auto SamplerвЂ™s plugвЂ‘in GUIВ allows you aВ lot of control over the autoвЂ‘sampling process.
