Playback templates (containing endpoint setups, expression maps and percussion maps) are available for various sample libraries.
Below is a list of the options currently available, including expression maps that you can use to create your own playback templates.
This page will be updated as new ones are made available. If you have a playback template you’d like us to link to or add then please let us know by email.
