# 02. Audio Sampler

### Introduction

**The UltraMixer 16-slot sampler** supports your moderation and helps you with the transition between two songs. You can play short samples or entire songs in a predefined order and play them with the push of a button. Use your mouse, your keyboard, or the sample pads on a MIDI Controller.

To enable the feature, click on the Widget Menu and choose the Audio Sampler.

Every sample button comes with a number of playback options such as “Direct Play” or “Loop”. You can configure the button by right-clicking on a slot. We will explain all the available options below.

### How to customize your Samples

##### Load / Empty

Use MP3 sound files and load them into the sample bank by selecting “Load”. Vice versa, you can also empty the slot by clicking "Empty".

##### Loop

The sample will be continuously replayed.

##### Directplay

The sample will be played only as long as you hold the mouse button.

##### Fade out at Stop

Create a smooth end of the sample's sound by slowly decreasing the volume and fading out.
