Using Vital as a Sampler

Write guides and how-tos about LMMS for other members.
Just sharing some things I recently learned. This opens some major doors on manipulating samples in LMMS.

Step 1: Open Vital and disable OSC1, then enable noise oscillator.

Step 2: Drag sample from outside LMMS (doesn't work internally) into the noise oscillator. If you're a Windows user a quick way for doing this is by pressing Win key, typing the name of your sample folder, hitting enter. Then press Alt+Tab once (this brings the window you opened to the front) and dragging and dropping the wav file into the noise oscillator. This may sound like a lot of steps but seriously, once you learn it you will save you a lot of time.

Step 3: Click the midi keyboard icon in the noise oscillator (this makes it polyphonic instead of monophonic).


And voila! You now have an insanely powerful sampler that even supports glide/portamento.

The icing on the cake for me is this trick Musicbear taught me; accessing the control knobs by clicking the wrench icon.

Just think... you can now modulate anything from effects, LFOs, envelopes and so on.

I hope this tutorial was helpful and I hope you all create some cool sounds.

Thank you so much for the tutorial! You can never stop learn in this beautiful journey and how amazing Vital is!
Have a great week ahead! Cheers!

It's my delight to help out. I look forward to improving on creating and mastering songs, though it's pretty lengthy and tedious I find.
The talent found here is far beyond my own but I do find great inspiration in that. The best of luck to you on your creative endeavors. :-)
