not with the ns7 but i use or used to use a nanoKONTROL with the vci-300 and abelton

Some use kueit to play samples with itch's hardware...

-KLH

Itch does not support other MIDI controllers.

not meaning to control itch but to use along side i believe

Using a Oxygen 8 USB keyboard for Battery 3 sample triggering alongside NS7/VCI-300 ITCH.

i use a korg and akai nano controllers with ableton for sample banks in the background

Can Kueit be triggered by a MIDI controller?

Like a Nano Pad... etc

Yes it has midi assignable capabilties

Thanks. I think I'm going to take the plunge and purchase this software with a MIDI controller.

Anyone know what's the best MIDI controller to get that has more then 8 pads but portable?

Disregard. The Nano has 12 pads so I think I will go with it. Definitely portable...

spazz also look into the nanoKontrol if you want to use something like ableton later the sliders come in handy

i dont need any sampler function in itch... buy a roland sp 404 and put it in the front aux! ...

better than everything!

i'll wait for software before paying 400.00 tho

eBay is your friend... Hardware samplers are cheap and look good.

If I understand correctly the ITCH business model, this isn't going to happen.
Maybe a new, totally different product line could be paid SW, but not ITCH.

hardware sampler is the best!

i have a 1 gig card in my sp 404... u have 12 sample pads with 8 different settings .... plus microphone effects and ting..

i have one bank with 5 tunes on the pads...

when my itch software has a problem ... i can restart my laptop and play some tracks on my sp 404.... i know some friends which do crazy mixes only with such a unit!

i love this ting...!

if itch will release samples i will not use them anytime...

I have this for sale if anyone is interested, with its SCSI ZIP drive

[quote but I still think that a hardware sampler offers many more possibilities/quote]
for the same reason i would choose a vfx-1 over any outside effects unit . there is actually Less possibiliteis to me in an external sample.
1. not intergrated with itch.
2. not able to include in recorded sessions
3. uses are set in stone. software based sampler can add more feature without having to buy the 303 or 303 or 505 or 606 to get new features
ITCH will not cost but you may need to buy a controller which again is what i would rather spend for for the reasons above

2. not able to include in recorded sessions

..........

for sure... over the aux input of ns7

..

kraal I record from the soundcard of my pc to a multitrack. So I'm good on that front. Your other points are valid however we don't know if or when this sampler is coming. I need to do triggering right now.

spazz -- triggering jingles and such the kueit/soundplant solution is the best. just saying paying 300-600 for a stand alone sampler isnt the best move. i mean getting virtual dj is cheaper.

my main point is like always consider the cost. research research research. and bottom line get what works fpr you

kraal how much do u think Serato will cahrge u for the sampler?

i think you are missing my point.... i personally would pay the money if it were part of the ITCH package.... but looking at this forum recently i think i am the only person who choose to get itch based on what ITCH is and intergrated hardware software solution. so my opinion is prob different than most

i got cha.. yea

what i am seeing can already be done in itch now without the sampler

meaning not much of more than 2 songs playing at once

yuck @ that 404 video.

Agreed. Not looking to go that route.

For a stand-alone sampler that is...

yea it would take flash gordon to load tracks and add them that fast to a mix without sampling, at least by my initial thoughts... maybe in actual practice it can be done now with Itch but a couple of the moves def not.

not a big deal

i think hardware and software are equal for that feature

have you ever used the virtualDJ sampler? all that can be done plus have it change as you change the pitch sliders ect

again i see a sampler intergraded in the software much better than any stand alone unit

actually it would be quite simple......dig deep into the features of ITCH the solution is right there at your finger tips :)

@kraal hu? care to enlighten me?

going to make a video...... in the next couple days

but basically it is the cue points and the record function :)

ah i c well I'd love to see it!!! but yea cool idea..

at how fast the track loads, if you had some compact playlists, memorized cue points, and set up all the loops (you can have up to 9 loops saved) seems pretty doable.

i'm workin on somethin atm so i'd love to see your video Kraal, new to my ns7 so not totally familiar yet.

i think kraal's idea is to record (sample) parts of songs and create a playlist that way he would play the play list of samples to create the mix// its nice but not sampling cuz they still have to load nevertheless its a cool idea!!!

czar not quite.... one track with multiple cue points.

ohhh cool...

i cant wait!!!!

sry bud u set urself up to it. ":)

I think I'm in love:) Maybe the best companion for the NS7 aux

i want to just steel the jog wheels

Nice...

@Kraal, did you ever get around to making that video? I'm really interested in seeing it.

I'm pretty sure Kraal is talking about something like this

Watchwww.youtube.com

I like that song. What is the name of it?
