Sample Pack Mode lets you import one-shot drum sample packs and converts them into ready-to-use kits automatically.

Important: Kit Maker is for short one-shot sounds. Loops and long sounds are filtered out by default (this can be changed in the Filter settings).

Kit Maker figures out what each sample is (a kick, a snare, a hat, and so on) and fills the pads of new kits with them. It works this out from the way your pack is already organized: either category subfolders (like “Kicks” and “Snares”) or keywords in the sample filenames. Most sample packs use some kind of organization, so it’s rare that samples can’t be identified.

If your pack is instead grouped into individual kit folders (each folder holding the sounds for one kit), Kit Maker can process those too. That’s covered in Process Kit Folders.
