I do something really similar.
Cubase lets you take the "groove" too, so I chop, take the groove, and load the samples in my sampler. I make a multi program for my sampler with drum hits, set to loop from forward to reverse, and make MIDI notes bend together. All MIDI notes in the Multi are set to same group mute i.e. each note mutes all other notes in group. Each hit has it's own program (I was thinking a program for each part of the drum kit would have been a better idea) and I change pitch, filter, LFO, modulation, etc. at the Multi level.
for non-CC control stuff I have to use a device panel in Cubase. REAPER let's you control the ADSR envelope on a hardware sampler? Now I'm curious.
What's this function called?
I've been meaning to start a thread about stuff like this - sorry to hijack.
depends on your hardware sampler :teeth:
I haven't tried doing it on the S1000 (it's midi implementation is very basic) but on the EMU Ultra 5000 you can set midi CC cords to control most of the parameters inside the unit.
Reaper comes with a VST I can stick on a channel and automate any Midi CC I want (ReaMidiControl); I think you can download the VSTs for free from KVR and use in any DAW supporting VST.
The last tune my buddy and I were working we did it all live from hardware; I was drawing in the filter, pitch and decay of the break from reaper directly into the EMU for the breaks (EQ was done through one of my Ashly units)
For the groove there is an extension you need to install ( included in SWS extensions), but you can grab a set of items (midi notes or Audio bits) and extract the groove and re-apply (it also comes with some basic swing grooves from MPC and SP1200 units)
Out of the box you can get a "recycle" like midi for chopped drum hits too; you just have to make sure you set the project bpm to the same as the loop.
The exact function is "Create chromatic midi from items" which needs to be mapped to a key-shortcut after you first install.
I'm a bit of a Reaper fan boy though
but I was able to convert my buddy who uses Reason and Logic to switch
