How do a route sampler output 1 to container input 1+2?

[Orvillain]

I have a sampler with multi-mic samples. I want to route output 1 of the sampler, to 1+2 of the container it sits within.

I basically want to duplicate the signal, which is one half of a stereo audio file, to two destinations so that I can have a dual-mono implementation of that signal.

How is this done?

@Orvillain use a routing matrix in the Samplers FX.

Nah, that isn't the solution. I want ch1 on the top row to connect to ch1+2 on the bottom. Then I want channel 2 on the top row to connect to 3+4, etc.

The routing matrix doesn't let you do that. It does let you do what you've linked, sure. I did figure out a solution using sends and a send container, but I just wonder if that is the correct approach. Will post more later on it, out right now.

@Orvillain What about using 2 routing matrix fx?

I think it does...

and even the inverse of that:

@Lindon Best as I can figure, that will work for effects, but not for sampler outputs. I could be wrong there though. I did try it by holding shift and assigning the routing that way, but the purple line just results in silence. From what I read in other forum posts, you can make a callback method to set the send level, but that seems a bit ... just a bit weird to me. It didn't seem like the right way to do it.

I think I've solved it by doing the following:

• Putting sampler into a container
• Adding a send container to that container
• Adding send FX modules to the sampler
• Assigning the channels I want to send in the routing matrix for each insert effects
• Using the main sampler routing matrix to route the left output for these dual mono pairs
• Using the send container to route the right output for these dual mono pairs

This allows me to get the dual mono L+R pair to the 1+2 of the container. From there, the routing is then just treated like any other stereo source.

The issue I was having is that my multi-mic samples have a series of stereo files, but each file is actually it's own mono source; ie - there is no link between left and right in the source audio file.

I'll post some screenshots tomorrow if you're interested.

This is how I handled it:

Main container. Inside:

• Sampler
• Send container

Sampler FX:

• A series of send effects.
• Each one selects a channel pair (0 being 1+2, 2 being 3+4, etc)

Sampler routing matrix:

• For the outputs that I need to duplicate.... route the left through to the container inputs.
• Leave an empty socket for the right.
• Any top row sources that are genuinely stereo just route through as normal.

Send Container routing matrix:

• Connect the top row channels to the 'empty sockets' for the right source.
• This means that 1+2 now carry the same signal. 3+4 carry the same signal.

Main container:

• Now you can add Simple Gain insert effects and assign them to the pairs.
• This gives you a volume control for the dual-mono pairs, as well as the regular "true stereo" sources.
