In this video we look at two different ways to set up our sampler on drum pads. First the organized way, second the ergonomic performance focused way. Geist 2 makes this quick to set up and the same thing can be done in most samplers.

 


 
Layout 1 – Organized
– Kick on pads 1-4
– Snare on pads 5-8
– HiHats on pads 9-12
– crash and toms on 13-16

Layout 2 – Performance
– kick on pads 2 + 3
– Snare or clap on pads 4 + 8
– closed hihats on pads 6 + 7
– everything else wherever.

    Thanks Jon !

    Small detail: Would have been nice if you showed how to assign the pads of your QuNeo controller
    to Geist’s pads, in Geist.

    Warm regards.
    Rob.

      I think it’s default settings, preset 1: Drum C1 – D#2.

    8 x 8 would be rad, just got a Jam. Is it possible?

      to be honest I don’t know. I’ve never seen that one before now.
