To load a MIDI part, drag it from the MediaBay, the Project window event display, or the
File Explorer/macOS Finder and drop it in Sampler Control.
IMPORTANT
If Sampler Control already contains MIDI, it is overwritten.
Cubase creates an audio file from the MIDI part. This includes the instrument sound and the
channel settings from the VST instrument or the return channel. The audio file is copied to the
project audio folder.

Creating Sampler Tracks
To create a sampler track, do one of the following:
In the Project window, select an audio event and select Audio> Create Sampler Track.
In the MediaBay, right-click an audio file and select Create Sampler Track.
In the Inspector of the Sample Editor, open the Range section and click Create Sampler
Track .
This creates a sampler track from the selected range. If no range is selected, the entire
event is used.
On the context menu of the track list, select Add Sampler Track.
In this case, Sampler Control is empty and you must load an audio sample by dragging.
Sampler Control
If the sampler track is selected, Sampler Control is available in the lower zone of the Project
window. Sampler Control allows you to view, edit, and play back samples or specific sections of
the samples.
1 Toolbar
Contains tools that allow you to select and edit the audio sample, to organize track
presets, and to transfer the sample with its settings to an instrument.
2 Waveform Display/Envelope Editor
Shows the waveform image of the sample and allows you to define the playback range for
the sample and to set a loop.
If the envelope editors for the pitch, filter, or amp section are shown, you can adjust their
envelope curve settings here.
3 Sound Parameter Section
Allows you to make settings for time stretching and formant shifting (AudioWarp
section), tuning and pitch modulation (Pitch section), filtering (Filter section), or level and
panorama (Amp section).
4 Keyboard Section
Allows you to set the key range of the sample, its root key, and the modulation range of
the pitchbend wheel. These settings are used if you work with an external MIDI device.
