Nanostudio 2 Sample selection in slate
Hi everyone,
I’m new to NS2 but I already love a lot about it.
A quick question: in slate is there a way To change an assign sample Without going thru the menu each time?
I have big samples library and I would like to be able to browse sounds in context.
Was expecting to have little arrows left and right of the sample name to go to next or previous.
Please let me know if this possible in any other way.
Thank you!

You can open a browser next to your Slate kit and preview samples from there. Once you find what you want you can then just drag and drop the sample onto the pad. It's really quick to set up kits in Slate.
Thank you for the tip Richardyot
Unfortunately I doesn’t really help me as I would have like to be able to change the samples of a playing kit on the fly while the mix is playing, perfect to select the best sample in slot.
Thanks again for the input
Yeah preview is really bad in NS2, all sample app developers should take a look at Maschine for in context preview.
Check out the following video, it might be of help:

You might want to go look at how fast Maschine is in this regard
Drag n drop is not in context preview.
Dragging and dropping through fifty samples is going to be tiresome at best, doing the same with up n down arrow, or just tapping in the list, very different.

Simply selecting the pad and double tapping the sample name is fine for me.
@AudioGus Nice - that works even better 👍
@AudioGus Perfect, thanks for the video!
also by tapping on sample name in "sample" tab you jump into full page file browser where you can browse through directories, audiotion samples and then by double tap on sample it is loaded... this is ha dy if you use 2 or 3 aample slots per pad and ypu want tomchange just one of them...

Dont you have any tricks for in context previewing samples dendy ?
no, unfortunatelly... this is something i'm missing too, hope one day ...
To be fair @AudioGus posted a pretty great way of previewing samples in context. The beat is playing, with the relevant pad highlighted you double-tap on a sample in the browser and it replaces the currently playing one.
Is that really so much worse than having arrows to cycle through the samples? I would say it's actually better, since you can quickly go back to any sample in the folder (say you want to compare samples that aren't next to each other the list for example).
@AudioGus thanks this is a acceptable work around!
Note to developers a couple of arrows next to sample name could greatly increase work flow
Thank you all
Great, happy to help!
yes i'm using this method exactly .. it is OK, but sometimes after trying lot of samples from various directories it would be nice to return back to original sample - usually when this happens i'm in troubles, because i'm old sack with bad memory and i can't remember which sample was initially there
)))) So my method is usuall save project, then i play with different samples, and when i want return to original one i reload whole project ...
i hope one day i will convince matt to add non-desctructive auditioning just by selecting sample in browser :-)
