This has driven me crazy every time I try to play with Audiotool. I want to take a sound I recorded and have access to playing it in different pitches, via the note track. This seems like the most basic synth-type action - sample a sound and turn it into an instrument. Yet why is it not an option on any sample, to simply make a note track by rick clicking on its box?
I assume there's some work around by routing the sample into one of the confusing synths, someone please explain... I know it can be done but god knows it's not in any intuitive way.

There is a way but it's almost more janky than setting up the multi sample pitch shift. if you right click and show software keyboard you can hit record and then play the keyboard by hand. I can't seem to edit the not pattern afterword's so it's very finicky that way.

what was the way to do it?

ok i'm embarrsed, you were right the first time, you have to do the pitch shift to the sample and load it a bunch. but at least with the note pattern it makes it a bit easier to arrange a melody. oh well, I really thought I was onto something.

okay one more very cool thing about this because it doesn't have to be a bunch of the same samples in the Machiniste, you can load multiple intruments and by choosing which sample if firing you can have one machine that now handles a bunch of instruments. granted if you try polyphonic stuff by having two samples play at once you can have both samples play at time but you can't give each it's own note track. this kinda feels like a chiptune machine the way i've set it up.

Unfortunately, AT doesn't have a dedicated sampler device that can do this yet. The usual way to go around this limitation is to use the Machiniste: (link is only visible to registered users) Load your sample in several sample slots and use the Pitch knob to detune each instance by the desired amount. Then you can trigger each "note" with the sequencer, note track or keyboard. Alternatively, you can load your sample in a single slot and use the Pitch Modulation knob to set how the intensity of sequencer hits affects sample pitch.

yes.

I don't mean to revive a seemingly dead thread but is this still true a year later? Would be nice ;)

No, unfortunately you can't add more slots to a Machiniste. But 9 slots give you more than an octave if you're working with a diatonic scale. As @Known As I said, this is enough for most good melodies. And, depending on your melody, you might not need every note, allowing you to cover a wider range. The Pitch knob gives you a range of +/- 2 octaves. If you use the second method, you could theoretically have 100 different pitches spread over 2 octaves using a single slot.

im trying to do the same thing rn. is there a new way to do it or no?
