anybody know what plugins I can get in Sonar so I can sample many drum sounds like in an Alesis DM5? or a plug in that can replicate an acoustic sound and trigger it?
If you have Sonar 2 you can use the Cyclone DXI....
Find a clip with sounds you like
Enable groove clip looping
Move the markers in the edit pane to the appropriate spots and drag the clip into Cyclone...
now you can take the seperate parts of the loop and assign them to pads in dxi or manipulate the parts to make your own loops.
Any audio can be manipulated and pitch shifted within reason and you can route the outputs to internal effects!
