The SL3 has the Aux option for the Sample Player.

What about alowing a bypass option for those who don't have the 57 or SL3 instead of just L,M,R Because I do not like having to bring my EQ's back up to play my samples after I have done a mix or something. It's become very annoying and it also has hindered my performance ideas. Please either tell me how to run it better. or make it bypass tot he master without having EQ controll over it.

SSL already has a sample player that you can assign to either right, left or both decks... Once you've loaded your samples into the sample player (6 of them) you just press z,x,c,v,b or n to play them.

Yeah I know about the sample player but i mean how I can play those samples without going through either of the left and right decks. Master option only means it goes through both, not bypass both channels and go out master. It should bypass it all and play when you have both channels down.

You would need an extra output on the SSL box to do this. Don't know if you've noticed but NO sounds go through your master on your mixer if the fader on thechannel to which it's connected is down. I can't see what your problem with using left or right is?

I don't like that the you can't route the sample player to an aux output on the 57sl like you can with the sl3.. I would like to be able to cut and transform with the faders and not have it effect the sample player

Thats right ICY1
A lot of the time with the more technical manauvers I do. The Sample player plays at different levels when both channels are up compared to one channel being on. SO when Juggling it gets loader and softer as I phaze between the channels. So a rout option needs to be implemented.

I would be happy to just route the sample output to the headphone jack on my computer... in fact, this would be a perfect solution so that i could just put it on another line in my djm700. is that a viable software maneuver?

I know what you mean guys about it being twice as loud when you have both faders up. I also know what you're trying to do... Have both faders up with one track playing, press the effect, then drop the next track and lower the first fader.
What I will say though guys is that it's really not that difficult to change the effect to the channel that your next track will be on, this will solve the volume problem.
If however you're not just dropping tracks in and are actually mixing, you should not have both channels on full volume, if you do, you lose the impact at the transition point as the volume drops... It's kind of a let down from a listeners perspective.

In other words guys, I don't think this idea will be at the top of the list of things to do. There are far more important features that have precedence over this.

Matty, what Cutloose described was beat juggling, not mixing. Say for instance you've got an acapella in the sample player and you want to juggle a beat behind it. With the output in the middle, the acapella's level will double every time you move the fader from one side to the other, sometimes many times a minute, and that is a huge let down from a listener's perspective.

I think the routing to headphone socket solution would be ideal. Coupled with the four banks, that's a powerful feature. Alternatively, you could try Flossyfx, but then you get no level, pitch or loop control, so you'd have to edit everything beforehand, and that kind of takes the spirit out of what you're trying to do.

Thanks Danny. :)
Well I see this feature as a big failure as it hinders my performance and being able to push the boundaries as a Musical Performer.
The external routing option is a good idea. Then just use a Y cable cool.
What about being able to use one of the phono thru inputs and plug it into the AUX on the mixer..... EG: Phono Thru 1-out of box into AUX IN on Mixer. For those that don't use the phono thru at some gigs.

Are they doing it on purpose to make DJ's like me upgrade to the SSL3 because I want to do more with the software?

Can a Moderater please explain why these options aren't available when it was clear that the Sample player was developed with the knowledge it would be used as a third deck option. With all due respect of coarse.

i agree i think they should have the sampler just play as a sampler no routing on the software just be able to trigger the samples and play out the master and be adjusted from the sample volume location all in one, without even having to go through the faders or and the faders controling none of the volume aspect. Isnt the Sl1 interface hardware a sound card also??? just a thought.

The problem is that the 57 sl is only a 2 channel usb sound card, the sl3 is a 3 channel usb sound card.. Im sure they will come out with a new 57 sl3 it just sucks for every one like me that bought the 57 sl .. don't get me wrong I love the mixer, I just wish it had 3 usb channels so I could use the sample player to play a track, while I scratch and beat juggle with the up faders and cross faders without it effecting the track thats playing thru the sample player .. I can do it with the sl3 and it is great.. just sucks I cant with the 57sl.. I have talk to the scratch live techs, they and a lot of djs act as if their is no problem. then why did they go thru all that trouble to make the sl3 box.... it was so you can route the sample player AROUND THE FADERS..

well it is here sooner then I thought, the rane 68 4 channel usb mixer

this one of the options for the rane 68

• SP-6 Sample player output assign to mixer channels.

Additional output options are added to the SP-6 Sample Player, allowing a user to choose channels 1-4 or the FlexFX Return as the output. This allows three decks coming out of channels 1-3 and having the SP-6 coming out of channel 4.

Agree. I never use the sample player 'cos it doesn't sound right running direct through the channel. What it could really do with is its own available channel send (which, currently, would have to be AUX out on SL3, though the new Rane 68 could potentially add options as it can control four decks?) mingled in with the current options.
