NI Polyplex - Loading Your Own Samples into Polyplex

Learn how to load your own samples into NI's drum sampler Polyplex.

Some bugs noted with Polyplex

1 - The horizontal scroll bar in the sample map editor sticks where you last left it. Be sure to scroll hard left before dragging samples to the keyboard so that the first sample is loaded on slot 0 (note 0).

2 - When you drag samples to the map editor, be sure that there is only one sample per note. In his example, when he adds some more samples in, they occupy more than one note which will result in tuned playback of the same sample across those notes.

I never knew how cool polyplex was. The grain delay fx is insane.

Thanks very much - I have a deadline and wanted to use Polyplex on a new song - this has really helped.

THANKS A LOT !!! This is a new way of layering drum-sounds - and a really good one! Apart from all the other great features. I did not know that POLYPLEX is such a powerful tool !!!

Good stuff. I just got Komplete Ultimate a few days back and was wondering how you do this. Also crazy to see how old PolyPlex is.

Only way to get the samples to stay in there overtime you boot up polyplex is load in your user samples and save polyplex to sounds or a group in maschine, it would be really handy if they allowed you more then one group though, i want to fill the whole thing with my own samples! Great videos man, keep up the work...more machine komplete stuff stuff

This is a very nice and well thought out tutorial. Thank you for this.

[mouha]

Thank you ! Looking forward to seeing more tuts about NI

[infinitedurr]

Excellent little tutorial. Thanks for this. I was wondering: Is there a way to sort samples by Sub-Type as well that you know of? How can we tag samples so that they sort this way?

I am using the seperate Drum ensembles Polyplex - Kick/Snare/Perc etc but I find it troublesome that there is no Hihat ensemble included.

Mario Christopher I see what you mean, Polyplex wont MIDI learn anything lower than C3. Is there no way to move your drum pads up an octave?

[markholding]

I realize this is an old thread, but if someone can help it would be appreciated. NI has changed the file drop down menu which no longer includes 'Save ensemble as'. Why they would do this baffles my brain. Anyhoo, how is this done now? Thanks in advance.

Do you know how the subtypes are set up in Reaktor? I'd like to load a full replacement set of samples which I am currently preparing from field recordings, and it would be helpful to know if I could set up subtypes as in the sample libraries supplied with Polyplex.
Thanks for this and many of your previous videos which have helped over the years. I'm going to take that 7 day trial soon to see what you are hiding up your sleeve :)

Hello... Greetings... I have a doubt :) I use M-Audio Oxygen 61 4th Gen and its got these Drum pads. I'm unable to assign them to the polyplex pads :( Cos the midi notes of my drum pads are in the octave of C2 and polyplex starts from C3 :( Please Help :)

I am thinking of purchasing battery 4, but now with polyplex out and what you showed I am hesitating, as I can't afford both I wanted to ask you which one would you recommend as a drums choice?

[Hajjmat]

I cant find were to Save my kit.. I tried to press "Save ensamble" or something similar and it said that reaktor 6 cant save the ensamble..

[ageshero]

Okay, sooo, this needs to be updated with a drag and drop code. Cauze this is just silly. Lol

[azfiu]

Polyplex doesn't randomize the first kick of the four for me, and it seems it's not for you either when you press the dice, it just changes the ADSR, volume, and everything else.  I feel like it has to do with that purple line, whats the deal?

[guillaumerousere]

Hi guys, is there a way to have severals user bank when uploading the samples? for instance all the kicks in the same "user" than snares in a different one?

[szilardzsargo]

i can't drag and drop my sounds from the folder into polyplex it just doesn't allow me to do that. if i try to add them with the add button, it lets me select and load only one sample at a time. it's frustrating with a folder with 100+ sounds in it. any idea why that is?
