6.6 Sample Playback Overview
An instrument can be a sample, edited or raw. A raw ‘.wav’ sample can be
added to the instrument list. When a sample is edited and developed further
as an instrument it can be saved as a ‘.pti’ instrument, for example
‘drumkit1.pti’. This can be used across all projects or distributed to other
producers. Sample based instruments are only used on steps in Tracks 1-8
while MIDI and Synths can be used on all tracks.
This section covers the basics of using .pti instruments, and not the end-to-
end capturing, editing and use of sampling which is covered elsewhere.
How a sample is applied as an instrument is handled in the ‘Sample
Playback’ page, accessed by the dedicated [Sample Playback] button.
