ableton audio/midi question

alright homies...here is another ableton question...
so i'm a FL user, and i've been messin' with ALive for a little bit, and i tried looking through the manual for the answer to my question, but i havn't found it yet, and i don't even really know what i'm looking for.
so the question:
in Fruity Loops, you can load an AUDIO file into a sampler, and then you could then plot out notes on the piano roll.
now in Alive, i am able to load up a midi instrument, and program a midi part, but how do i do this with an audio file? for instance, i have a kick.wav. i want to write out a basic kick pattern in midi, and have it trigger the audio file...but i dunno how. does this make sense?
i'm sure this is a simple thing...i will try to figure it out now, but if someone could help, thanks. |

hey no probl.
This should be very easy.
You'll want to drag an instrument called the Simpler onto a midi track.
Then drag kick.wav onto the Simpler. Create a midi clip by double clicking a box in that midi track while in session view (the mixer view). A piano roll should apear at the bottom and you are ready to go..... |

| welcome to ableton. Pitch will do whatever if you are not careful about it. Use the transpose located right on simpler. |

lol, thanks again. although the original kick still differs slightly from the one i loaded into simpler. the decay seems a bit off and some other odd things...but should be ok i guess.:) :)
EDIT: NVM i figured it out lol...i just had to adjust the length of the midi notes..duuuuuh. |
