AngelCityOutlaw Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 or rather, "drum sequencing". Just yesterday I downloaded the trial version of Sonar X2 and it's pretty sweet so far. Once you get onto how it does things, it's pretty straight-forward. There is just one thing I can't seem to figure out though. Is it possible to load your own drum samples into the step sequencer? I can't even seem to trigger audio clips via MIDI controller as an alternative method Since I'm still figuring it out, and because it is a demo, perhaps I'm just missing something obvious in the setup or maybe it's a limitation of the trial? I tried Google, but couldn't seem to find the answer. Maybe I was just using the wrong keywords or something. Anyway, thanks in advance for the help! Oh, EDIT: By the way, if you can load your own samples into the step-sequencer, would the "essentials" version of X2 have the same capability?

Argle Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I thought the step sequencer was just an alternate view to the piano roll? aka you use it on a drum VST track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have something like superior drummer, you can trigger the samples with the step sequencer. Each note in the step sequencer is set to a note on the piano roll. What I mean is can you use the step sequencer to trigger samples that are not from a VST plugin. Is that doable in Sonar? If so, how?

Moseph Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Not doable as far as I know, though I don't really use the step sequencer at all. I think if you want to do that, you load the individual samples into as VST sampler like Cyclone or Session Drummer (both included w/ Sonar) and then trigger the VST.
