Shawn,

SONAR 2.0 is the way to go.  It's new synth Cyclone DXi will allow you to
trigger loops from any midi device. It supports key mapping and multiple
outputs. You also have full control of each slice of a loop, and can assign
individual slices to different MIDI notes.  

If you already have SONAR 1.0 you can get SONAR 2.0 for $79.  Cyclone alone
is worth the price of admission.

You might also consider the VSampler DXi synth.  You could use that to
assign different samples from a chopped up loop to different MIDI notes on 
a
keyboard.

I work here at Cakewalk so let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,

Carl Jacobson

Subject: Greetings, and a question about sampling/chopping

Hey all... just joined the list, so I hope I'm not posting on a really
redundant subject....

I'm wondering about assigning loops/samples to keyboards while working in
SONAR.
I'm looking for a way (plug-in) that I can chop up a loop and assign it to
the keys. It's easy enough to do in Reason, but it's a pain to keep going
back and forth from program to program. I know SONAR 2 has rewire so you 
can
stick a Dr. Rex sampler right into a track, but it'll be a long time before
I can afford Sonar2.

I know this functionality can't entirely be reserved for CREATIVE's
soundfont format, but I haven't yet been able to find something to fit my
needs.

Relevant info if needed:
PC,P3 at 800 mHz, M-Audio Delta 66 with Omni I/O, evolution MIDI 
controller,
Sonar XL.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
