Sampling via USB

Not so lucky, but my roommate bought a SP12 to match a ASR10 and a mpc60 and an acquaintance had the sp1200 and they all sounded super nice.

I’m humbled only by two samplers now MPC4k which really is an amazingly powerful sampler, mod matrix allways at hand via touch of a button. Tought me allot and how appealing simple patching of velocity to multiple destinations can spring life to samples…

The other is Radikal Technologies Spectralis its a sample player /va modular groove box hybrid/ with analog filters so samples can be routed to or used as FM modulation on/ through the analog filters, yet even just convert of waves loaded to the engine gives supercharged fidelity, sounds big and phat straight from the outs kinda like my SP :wink: … have outboard and mixers for any added color at will …

Would love a Isla but Im far away from my studio on a pilgrim journey and not really supposed to endeavor in materialism … :hamsa:

I just noticed that there is no USB sampling today…a big PLUS 1

I recently received my Tracker+ and was disappointed to learn that we cannot sample over USB. The Digitakt and SP404mk2 and other kit have spoiled me because of this feature.

When I’m in that state of slow and making music i want the ability to capture sounds and phrases on the fly, so i feel Audio In over USB is essential for Sampling on the Tracker+.

I Voted for this feature as well, but i just wanted to voice my opinion it as well.

Cheers.

The Tracker+ was added to this wish, which initially was only for the mini as I created the wish before even the T+ was announced.

The fact it was accepted as a wish and that this wish is very popular gives me hope for this to be implemented :wink::crossed_fingers:.

Crossing fingers because it is needed. :wink: I’m trying to let everyone know on different forums and Discord.

Some of the people think they voted when they only hearted the post :sob:

The Vote button is in a weird place for sure.

At the top of the page? :crazy_face:

Hi gang,

Since we have USB outputs and input on the tracker, we should be able to sample via usb right now?

Is it correct? I somehow can’t get it to work. My Ableton sends signal to the “output” channel, which is the input on the tracker, but I can’t seem to get any signal into the machine.

I’m going to test if this works apart from the aggregate device, maybe im just lost like a dog in the fog and made some mistake? not sure here.

We can’t “oddly” capture audio over USB at this time. Please hit the VOTE button at the top of this thread.

Cheers :facepunch:t3::level_slider:

Hey folks, here’s a little trick/workaround for now:

  • Connect your Line-Out with a 3.5mm ↔ 3.5mm to the Line In
  • Send audio via USB to the two main USB output channels of the tracker
  • In the Sample Recorder choose Line-In

This will allow you to pipe audio via USB to the Line-Out which in turn can be sampled via the Line-In :joy:

Thanks ! Now it’s “only” about virtualizing this jack :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Sooooo a controlled feedback loop of sorts :crazy_face:

I’m gonna give it a try today. :facepunch:t3::heartpulse::level_slider:

Since during recording nothing is output from the Line Out usually (except when overriding the behaviour with this USB trick) there is luckely no feedback :laughing: (eventhough that would be interesting).

Cool. I just tried it and was able to Sample from YouTube over USB. I had to use Loopback to help with the audio routing, but I was able to capture some Marshall McLuhan snippets to pepper throughout my music :slight_smile:

Whatever works ya know :slight_smile:

Thanks for posting info on this hack…

Hopefully this little “audio signal” routing trick helps them implement it in an future update :slight_smile: I hate all these cables sticking out the back of my PT+ HAHAH

Not the first occurrence of when you short-circuit your music device you get a new feature :sweat_smile:

Okay, come on, Polyend. This is stupid.
Please add a button to sample from USB In in the next firmware update. :roll_eyes:
Thank you!

Sound like something that could be adapted software wise too with re-routing, instead of making a patchbay at the back ?

well yeah, it’s a workaround until this wish is implemented :wink:

I guess this one and all the related topics can soon be closed :wink:

Hello everyone, you can try it @here
