Learning Activities
A. Sampling with Reaper and TX16 Sampler
B. Sound Mapping with OSC

  • A. Sampling with Reaper and TX16 Sampler
    Download and Install TX16Wx Sampler as VST
    Open Reaper
    Create New Track “Insert Virtual Instrument on New Track” with the TX16 Sampler
    Load Audio Samples “Bell” and “Peeing”
