Perhaps you'd like to rephrase that question?

As far as I am aware the only way to make a sample into a keyboard is by magic.

Sure... there's actually step by step instructions for that in the Manual ....

But essentially,
you use the "Record" page, to record your samples. When a sample is recorded, you can leave it in memory, assign it to an existing
program, or create a new program. First Sample, have it create a new program and assign it (in the recording screen still)
to the key that you pressed. Now sample the next key, and assign it to the next key in the program. Until you have taken all
the samples you want.

Now everythings' been sampled and created.

Go to Main, in the Track you are in, assign the Program you just made. Hit your pads, and you should hear your Piano.
If a remote Keyboard is hooked up and Midi is setup correctly, you should just be able to hit the Keyboard and here your
samples...


Cheers,
Dave

yea atleast they had the decency to mess around with you and make it funny, rather than just shout at you for asking a question that can be solved by a little reading. trust me, it could've and should've been alot worse. be thankful. goodluck with making keyboards out of sound waves, should be profitable :D

If I knew what you were talking about, then I wouldn't have explained how to take Multi Sample.


First... You ask as how to turn a sample in a keyboard , which is literraly impossible.

Next you say this:
"ok i mean sampling a piano, then make it playable like piano, with a midi keyboard connected."

and then you tell us that we're useless. I explained how to sample a piano. I didn't even say
sample every note,I said "next sample". You can use anywhere from 1 to 128 samples for just
Zone 1.

So if you want clear answers. Ask Clear Questions. Plain and Simple.
