Importing Samples (Padshop Pro only)
The maximum length for samples to be imported is ten minutes. If you try to import a
!
longer sample, Padshop Pro imports only the first ten minutes.
You can import samples using one of the following methods:
• Drag a sample from the MediaBay of Steinberg's Cubase or Nuendo to the
waveform display.
• Drag one or more selected audio events from a Cubase or Nuendo project to the
waveform display.
• Drag a slice from the Sample Editor of Cubase or Nuendo to the waveform display.
• Drag a sample from the Windows Explorer/Mac OS Finder to the waveform
display.
• Click the menu button in the top right corner of the display and select "Import
Sample" on the context menu.
On import, samples are saved in a predefined directory
(C:\Users\user\documents\Steinberg\Padshop\Samples\User Samples\). This
directory is scanned regularly by Padshop Pro. You can add subfolders to the "User
Samples" folder, to structure your sample content. These subfolders are shown in
Padshop Pro the next time you open the program.
If you try to import a sample that has the same name as another sample already used
in Padshop Pro, a number is added to the file name on import.
You can only import samples from VST Sound containers shown in the MediaBay of
the Steinberg sequencers Cubase and Nuendo. Samples from the VST Sound nodes
in HALion or HALion Sonic cannot be imported.
The Sample Root Key
When a sample is loaded, Padshop reads root key information from the sample file to
set the correct pitch for the oscillator. If no root key information is found, the root key
is set to C3. You can adjust this value manually.
Exporting Presets with Samples (Padshop Pro only)
You can export Padshop presets that contain samples. This allows you to transfer
your samples to another computer system, for example.
Proceed as follows:
1. Click the menu button to open the context menu.
2. Select "Export Preset with Sample".
3. In the dialog, specify where you want to save the preset.
In this location, a Samples folder is created in which the samples used in the
preset are saved.
If you export multiple presets to the same location, they share one Samples folder.
If you try to export a sample that has the same name as another sample already saved
in the Samples folder, a number is added to the file name on export. In this case, the
sample references are updated accordingly.
