We’ll use these tracks to play sound effects, drums, and fills at various locations throughout the song. We’ll also use the ribbon controller to scratch out these sounds during the Intro and Ending sections.

As with the sample on FREE 1, we’ll set the sound up in two different ways for track banks 1 and 2, so we can get different sounds in different sections.

*This CD features samples from the world’s foremost sample developer — AMG.
