Saving kits.. help!

[fizzyfizz]

Using Spark 2... is it possible to save a set of samples as a kit?

eg; I have a set of samples loaded from an old Yamaha RX15 drum machine. Can I save this as a 'Yamaha RX15' kit? I can't seem to find any way of doing this.

THANKS

Make a new project in spark

Drag individual samples on to the pad you want it assigned to in the main window

Assign it a type etc in studio view

Save the kit

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also use the disk tab in library and load to  a target pad

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want a multi layer sample you can load multiple layers in studio view

Theres more info in the manual

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply but I'm still unsure where to go to do the actual 'save' (sorry for being so thick)

See the attached screenshot. If I load my samples and click on 'save as' I don't get an option to save as 'kit'.

What am I doing wrong?

You cant overwrite the factory kits

If you look its renamed it

If you press OK it will save and ask you if you want to save a copy of the samples

If you using your own samples your better off starting with a new blank project

Hope this helps

Got it! My mistake was I wasn't creating a new project.

Thanks again

hey fizzy fizz

What i'd also do is load in your samples first, this way your samples will be named. You can always rename them after. There's a danger when you create a new project without any samples, that you will create erroneous files called 'new project' but with no samples.

 See the file attached, the green area is where you can open your samples. You can remove it with the X. You can then rename with the name at the top. So just open any project and start replacing the samples. Check that there's not more than 1 sample in the sampler layer, save as and you're good to go
