I just try to view/edit a recorded sample. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
I am on the latest Vangelis release and Zynthian V5.1.
When I select a recorded sample, I can only start playing it but don’t see the sample editor, like described in the wiki ZynSampler User Guide - ZynthianWiki. I only see an empty Zynsampler page on the screen when playing a sample:
Did you try a chain with zynsampler in it?
Ok, now I realized, that Zynsampler is located in the instruments selection. 
I was a little confused about this kind of workflow: When you recorded something from the main chain and after recording, you hit Zynthians play button on the touch pad, Zynthian will play the last recorded capture. This is really nice if you like to capture an idea quickly. But you don’t see, that Zynthian is playing something in the display. When you hit the play button again, Zynthian stops playing.
Maybe it’s something like a simple player that I am missing in Zynthian. A player just to play audio snippets, with simple forward/backward, next/previous and a position marker. Something like a simple “mp3 player app” where you can select a file to be played in the background. Does this feature exist or is it something new?
At the moment if I like to play along to something I use my Ui24r digital mixer. It has a simple stereo audio player and a multi channel recording/playing feature.
Have a nice evening.
That’s the scenario the zynsampler grew from. There was a simple audio player, implemented as a test facility but it was simply a linux command line script. It was ok as a test but didn’t allow accurate playback and there was a requirement for such a thing, so @riban wrote zynsampler and discussion developed .It does do the pos markers and repitches as well and the ADSR implementation emerged from amused recognition of a possibility. It’s certainly been a interesting development, but I would agree the “zynthian as quick tape recorder” is rather contrived and really should end in the zynsampler environment for playback or other audio abuse.
Hi @pianissimo !
I just fixed zynsampler in vangelis. It should work now, Please, update and test.
Thanks
Hey @jofemodo , thank you for fixing it. I just tried it - it’s working, including illuminated play button on the keypad and play-indicator on the display.
It’s a great feature for play alongs, backing tracks and to quickly record ideas.
Have a nice evening.
