What is the Slate Trigger Instrument Editor? It allows you to create "Trigger Compressed Instruments" (.tci files) that can be loaded into Slate Trigger, the professional drum replacer and sample library. As mentioned, I have them on the same sample drive that I have other drum program libraries on.This tutorial will help you get started using the "Slate Trigger 2 Instrument Editor".

the main drive, but that's what I do and it works great. I don't know if there's a benefit to keeping these samples on a separate drive vs. Wherever you decide to put it, Trigger will default to that location using the above method.

So you can either copy the samples to your main drive, or copy it onto a separate drive that you have other types of samples, or whatever. Now whenever you open Trigger, in the left hand "Instrument Browser" column, your Trigger samples will show up, and you then choose from there which ones to load. That should put that location in the little box, which will be the default location. Navigate to wherever you put your Trigger stuff, and then choose "Open". Click "Browse" and it will bring up the Mac Finder Window. There is a box to the right that shows what will be the default location. Click on that, and then to the right, in the window that normally shows the waveforms, etc., it will show several settings, including midi stuff, etc.Īt the bottom of that window, it says "Instruments and Presets Path". Above that, near the top, is a big white button that says "Settings". In Trigger, in the left column, it brings up a directory to search anywhere on your computer. I have all my Trigger samples in a Trigger Instruments folder that resides on my separate drive for samples, along with Toontrack Superior Drummer libraries, etc. Then in Trigger, there's a way to set that location (wherever it is) as the default. You can actually put them anywhere you want, on either the system drive or an external drive.
