i have currently been working around with using an external
controller to trigger loops (one shot, disk-based stuff
too) and find it easy to trigger commands on the loops
(like front, end, stop, play all, play looped, play no loop
etc etc....(all in Sound Forge 4.5) i am wondering if there
is any way to be able to trigger multiple loops/samples by
assigning them to keys on the external controller, which,
by the way, has only MIDI I/0.....i'm using a SB PC1512
(using the joystick MIDI adapter) to run MIDI..(into my
cheap Yamaha PSR-36)...can I trigger more than one
loop/sample and essentally turn my Soundforge software into
a quasi-softeware sampler.....and speaking of software
samplers, does anyone experienced w/ giga sampler? or
could I configure ACID to be MIDI triggered by an external
controller? let me know PLEASE!!!! nate

Hello.

No, there are no functions in Acid which would allow you to do this.

Thanks.
