Each genre has its own folder which is labelled with the original tempo in bpm. This content consists of drums, percussion, effects loops and various instruments, divided into a wide selection of genres (I counted 26), which include two-step, ’60s soul, ’70s funk, ambient, reggae and chillout. Double-click on this, and it will take you directly to the loop content which was installed with the program. You’ll see there an icon named Sounds, which is a link to the Magix sample content. When you open the Manager, the file path should default to Documents / MAGIX / Samplitude Pro X2. Alternatively, you can open the File Manager from the same menu by choosing Manager / File Manager, or operating the default shortcut of Ctrl+Shift+B. If the Docker is not showing, make sure Manager/docker is ticked in the View menu. To open the file browser, click on the Files tab to open the File Manager from the Docker.

Loops are imported into a Samplitude Pro X2 project from the file browser. There is quite a good library of loops which comes with the install DVD or the download version, to get you up and running. Providing they have some kind of tempo information embedded into the file, there should be no problem. Samplitude can handle loops in numerous formats, including its own Magix Soundpool loops, Apple Loops and Acid loops. In this article, we’ll show you how you can import audio loops into Samplitude Pro X2 and sync them to the project tempo. Love them or loathe them, loops have become an integral part of modern music production. Want to incorporate loops into your Samplitude Pro X2 projects? We show you how. Note that the Autoplay (padlock), Loop and BPM Sync buttons are active.
