A bank per song
When a song becomes active, the sampler switches to its bank. That way a Stream Deck key always plays pad 1 of the current song.
Sampler
Playback at the push of a button.
Intro, applause, break music or sound effects: the sampler plays your samples through the console – triggered from your computer, iPad, control panel or Stream Deck.
Pads & banks
Every sound in its place.
Samples sit on pads, pads sit in banks – one bank per gig or per song, for example. Playback happens on the computer running BandAssist, through an audio device of your choice. Tablets, phones and controllers only trigger, so the sound always reaches the console.
- Banks with up to 8 × 8 pads, name, color and waveform per pad
- Play to the end or only while held, repeat, fade in and out, start and end point
- Groups: one pad stops the others – like open and closed hi-hat
- Several pads at once, progress and remaining time, “Stop all” with one tap
