I know I can record a sound with a sampler and have the sound in the sampler, but if I had a keyboard, could i manipulate any sample that I have in the sampler?
and when I mean manipulate I mean, manipulate it as Midi. Meaning, if I record the sound of a string from a Roland Juno, be able to make anything I want with the sample of the string trough a different keyboard.
 
wow, I have to read that again before I can understand that...


I'm n ot sure waht you mean with 'a different keyboard'. Anyhow, whren you have a small audio file, a sample, you can import that into a sampler. The possibilities then depend on your sampler. When you link that sampler with a sequencer, you can trigger that sample with midi samples. the choices of manipulation depend on the possibilities of your sampler.

Does this explanation help anything?
 
I see. Well, when I use a sequencer with the sample, can I manipulate the sample in such ways as to make my own riff with it or quantize it, and play it at different notes JUST LIKE A REGULAR MIDI NOTE?
 
yep, like I said you can trigger the sample with midi signals. What kind of a sampler do you have?
 
Well, I don't have one. I was asking to be assured that's what a sampler does. I will be getting one very soon. In the next 2 weeks. I'm looking into the AKAI series.
