Hello @Maarten always appreciated yr instrument contributions for Looptical... And a big shout out for that great program.. Not much discussed these days ..
+1 on these 3
Ok problem here. Recorded straight into cubasis, with headphones inserted into ipad, the signal to be seen, but couldn't figure it out, how to spread it on the keys, Like Doug Style, recorded but would not load again, or shall I record it on every separate key? Bug? Anyway, file over audioshare: please if you map, tell me, I can't ... https://www.dropbox.com/s/ur9cwv7djga0d1k/cubasis - yamahapsr60calliopeoboe - c3 (1).wav?dl=0

@crzycrs Study this video from Steinberg, it should help learn how to cover more keys...
Thanks @Samu, mighty generous.
You're welcome. All of the instruments that I made for Looptical I also made for Xewton Music Studio. You can download them from the Music Studio forum. I've spent an enormous ammount of time making these instruments. Although I'd like to have them inside Cubasis too, I don't know if I'm going to go through that entire process again, maybe others are willing to convert either my Music Studio and/or Looptical instruments to Cubasis.
Looptical has this really cool feature that lets you export individual samples contained in a user instrument to Loopticals iTunes folder. You can pull those samples using IFunbox, import them into Cubasis and then assign them to their respectve keys in a Cubasis user instrument. Because of this feature Looptical will make for the fastest conversion to Cubasis. When Looptical users are willing to help out, we could have the complete Sonatina Symphonic orchestra library and 21 other diverse instruments for Cubasis in a short period of time.
Just a heads up on sampling, I think a good general rule to follow is that if someone is still selling the sample or source of the sample, then you are legally responsible when trying to share that sample.
Transferring over sample sets from other apps and software isn't exactly what I had in mind here, unless of course that sample set was uniquely created or is perhaps a revival of old hardware.
Just some thoughts. Be considerate of other people's work.
@1P18
All good, the DRT sets are cleared...
@Littlewoodg Edit: Cleared for use, duh, got it now (thought you meant taken down and link removed).
I brought up the issue with Kontact, because Native Instruments still sells that software along with all the samples that go with it. If people start sharing those samples they might face legal issues.
Here is my minisampler folder link in Dropbox, it should be public, so do tell me if it works. I've only created 3 small instruments for the moment, but I should be doing more when I have time.
Oops edit see a bit below
We good.
@mtyas It needs to be a zip file, with a direct link to the file. It's easy to do, instructions are in the first post of this thread.
Sorry for the bad links, here we go again :

Next thing might be a challenge, make something that works with "just" these instruments (diverse riches already). What do you think OP @1P18?
Yeah sure, if that's what you want to do. Sometimes it's good to set up parameters, and just work within whatever you set up.
Oh boy, well. 'Tap and Drag' ...

New instrument!
This one was an unusual journey, started out with a loop in iMS-20 which I then ran through Alchemy Mobile. Sampling it into Cubasis I used 2 notes at a time rather than one, so it plays almost like a chord progression. The end result sounds like a jangly electric guitar. It is mapped to the 2nd and 3rd octave.
Sent One - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ze5bwvogls5j1yh/Sent One.zip
Got another instrument in the pipeline, and have found a good method:
For instruments mapped to the keyboard I am finding a good way to go about things is to use AudioShare to record sounds, as it has Inter App Audio slots you can use for effects. Then depending on the sound source you can simply record notes in one long sound file, then trim each separate note as a new file and send it to Cubasis.
I say depending on the source because in many cases you can get by with only recording every 3rd or 4th note, and then just rely on the pitch shift within the MiniSampler and spread that note out. Have to be careful with that though because often times it doesn't sound like a note but rather just a sped up or slowed down sample.
This method allows you to combine different apps and turn them into an easily useable instrument in Cubasis.
Another instrument:
Tokyo Sun - A worn down synth. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ge5ajb8cwmd6i9/Tokyo Sun.zip
Also, another tip for mapping samples to the keyboard:
It helps to spread the sample both up the keyboard and down the keyboard, because Cubasis changes the pitch by speeding up and slowing down the sample, and if you spread too far one way or the other you get further away from the original sound. This is particularly noticable on samples with modulation or any sort of rhythmic variation. Of course that may be a desired effect, but just something to take into consideration.
@1P18
The Tokyo Sun instrument is killer. I'll try some patches...
Here are some sets, again from my collection run through various boxes
Glitchboard and the SOR set are 4 octaves worth of oneshots each, one sound per key. Sounds is a drum kit on pads

@Liitlewoodg Thanks.
Continuing the tip for creating insttuments:
As for recording and mapping as mentioned above, if you went by octave you would only have to record four notes per octave: C#, E, G, and A#, and then you just stretch the sample up one note and down one note in MiniSampler.
This method saves some time without sacrificing much. Again it's all up to what you're going for obviously. Some people may want the sample to be absolutely pure.
My first instruments have been done at just one sample per octave, stretching each one up and down by around a fourth or fifth to give continuous coverage, and they sound fine. You can hear the change of tone where two zones meet if you listen carefully, but if you are playing chords for example, you would be very hard pressed to hear any disjoints within a track.
Great tips guys keep up the great work it's much appreciated!
I'm not a sampling guy, but these tips have helped so much!
A whole mess of sample packs from synths, good for MiniSampler or any other sampler really:
http://www.freesound.org/people/modularsamples/packs/
Turns out you can download these straight into AudioShare via the browser in AudioShare. You have to have a freesound account, but once signed up you can download packs (as zip files) or just individual samples.
Taur is an instrument created from a Moog Minitaur. Here's a bell toned percussion kit, and a couple of glitch kits Churn and Drull.
Derek Buddemeyer made a bunch of samples available for download a few years ago, here's one of the Acoustic DrumKits arranged for Cubasis instrument use.
I've got the Volume up to 8dB and Release set to 4 when I use it.

Wow, I missed a lot of these previous kits, and now they're gone. Anyone still have them?
Dropbox is evil. They spy on you. Don't use that.
