Drag and drop loop to sampler

So when do you think we will get this feature? It's pretty popular on the ideascale.

I'd love this feature... I'm finding myself using more and more loops recently. Would be really handy to be able to drop them in the sampler.

I liked the idea myself on the idea scale...

But thinking about this a little more we have this already. We can record the samples live with the sampler....

This would be pretty nice. We can record loops live to the sampler, which is nice, but drag and drop would be quicker.

Think I'm still confused on this one. You saying you can't drag from the file list into a sampler bank?

I don't have this problem. I drag files from the browser into sample banks.

No. In Traktor, you can set a loop in a deck, then just click the track information in the deck and drag it to a sample deck and it'll continue playing, albeit muted. This lets you take the looped deck out while bringing in the sample deck smoothly, then letting you do something else with the deck that was looped. It's a lot simpler than the hoops that I need to jump through to record to the sampler in Torq.

AHHHH yeah that would be cool!

Punky

Right?!!

k-sea

only if they stayed in sync ;-)

Punky

Yeah the Traktor samplers do some weird sh*t.

I am also very interested in this as a production tool.

Torq is DJ Software, not a production tool. Same goes for Abelton; it is a production tool, don't put DJ in front of your name if you use it solely on stage.

A moot point!

"Torq is DJ Software, not a production tool." I beg to differ...

from the website...

"On stage and in the studio, Torq provides the ideal centerpiece for your audio production setup. Want to hook up your outboard gear? Torq can send and receive MIDI beat clock, allowing total synchronization with drum machines, effects boxes, and other computers. ReWire support and an 18-cell sampler let you bring powerful studio processing to your live sets, as well as infuse your studio productions with live energy. Torq is also ReWire-compatible with Pro Tools M-Powered software, Ableton Live, and other popular applications, forever blurring the lines between performer and producer."

Use it how you will.

Actually rather than drag and drop: I'd love to be able to set up a hotkey that would do the following:

1. drop playing loop from track to first empty sampler slot.
2. Continue playing looped from sampler slot
3. stop playback of loop from track.

That would also be very nice!
