Hi,
Firstly I apologise if this is elsewhere I did perform searches but couldn't find anything, maybe I'm being stoopid wouldn't be the first time.
Basically what I'm after is a piece of software that would let me assign samples which would them be activated via my yamaha keyboard. So each key on the Yamaha keyboard would be a different sample. Hope this makes sense.
A little background may help, I'm a DJ (lol) using vinyl and a standard mixer, I can wire my mac up to the mixer so that I can mix MP£'s or whatever that way, however what I'm trying to do is set it up so I can trigger a sample say -
'I want it smooth and by the numbers' via my keyboard. I would have different samples assigned to different notes on my keyboard so wouldn't have to go back to my Mac to change the sample I could use.

any suggestions, any response much appreciated.

Cheers
Coops

Take a look at VSamp, it's standalone and a plug, and very inexpensive.

Thanks a lot. At work at the moment but I'll take a look at it tonight.

Thanks again.

cheers

gdoubleyou, do you know how much hit the cpu takes when you run this pluggin? The website doesn't say.

It's very cpu-freindly, when used as a plug it has a minimal interface, all you can adjust is the headroom, and polyphony, plus bank selection. No problems using several instances.

I still use it all the time, once you purchase it, you get access to the sample library, lots of good usable sounds.

It doesn't have a fancy interface like the big names but it gets the job done. I found it quick and easy for when you want to map and layer two sounds together.

VSamp was my first virtual instrument, used since OS9.
