Hours of individual note recording
Choose a source instrument, note range and sampling interval, then capture the sequence from a software or hardware synthesizer.

The problem
What it solves
Turning a synth sound into a reusable sampled instrument usually means recording many notes, naming files and mapping zones by hand. CLR Auto Sampler automates that capture sequence and builds a native Ableton Sampler preset.
Repeated mapping and layering work
Create mapped key ranges, up to three velocity layers and optional round-robin takes, with the native .adv and WAV samples saved together.
Sustained sounds that need usable loops
Set a loop-search region, minimum length and crossfade for individual samples. Disable looping for drums and other one-shots.
Seven capture controls
Set the performance range
Configure how the source is played, recorded, layered and mapped into the finished instrument.
01 / MIDI ROUTING
Choose the note source
Select the Live track that receives generated notes. For hardware, route that track to the synthesizer port and channel first.
02 / AUDIO ROUTING
Choose what to record
Select the software-instrument track or hardware input, then choose its available tap or channel.
03 / NOTES SAMPLED
Set range and spacing
Choose the low and high mapping boundaries and sample every note or every second, third or fourth note.
04 / VELOCITY LAYERS
Capture up to three layers
Enable Soft, Medium and Loud independently; set the played velocity and each layer’s playable range.
05 / ROUND ROBIN
Add repeated takes
Capture two to eight takes per note and velocity, with Forward, Backward, Other or Random Sampler playback.
06 / CAPTURE TIME
Give each take room
Set note duration, release tail and the pause before the next take. Adaptive trimming keeps up to 1 ms before the detected attack.
07 / SUSTAIN LOOP
Loop sustained sounds
Search a chosen region for smooth per-sample loop points, set a minimum length and apply a crossfade. Turn it off for drums and other one-shots.
