so lets say i want to sample my piano sounds,vintage organs or string
sounds all across the keyboard and switch octaves if i need to
would this be a tidious thing to do? hows the editor?


You can take a single sample and spread it across the keyboard automatically but I find that only works well for certain types of sound. It is not an ESX style sampler, I'm not sure the right terminology but it does not seem to have the resolution. So you might want a bank with each key preloaded with your string/organ sounds.

I think the editor is pretty good but I can only speak for Mac version.

to freak out, interestingly?

There is an Auto Next sampling function that will slice incoming audio or resamples across selected keys, nice way to discover quirky glitchy stuff.
You can fx each sample independently. And you can loop each sample independently (up to the voice limit) and then unloop them individually or mute them.

Pattern editing is easy and fun.

I have barely scratched the surface of possibilities, but there are a bunch of editing things you can do on the fly in the background without disrupting the output.
You can edit start and stop point in the editor. But there is a quick way into the menus: each key has a label for a dedicated edit function so if you hold the key and press <edit> you go directly to the correct parameter.

There are a samplepaks that can be downloaded to form a library.
