Definitions

Unsure about a particular concept or phrase? Let’s dive in to what everything means.

Create tab

The main production workspace. This is where pads, loops, scenes, browser focus, and mixing happen.

Browser

The file and source navigation area where you find sounds, preview them, and move through folders or libraries.

Pad

A playable sound slot. Pads are triggered with 1-9 and 0. Each pad can hold:
  • a loaded sample
  • trim or chop behavior
  • mixer settings on its channel

Channel

The mixer lane tied to a pad. When you change gain, pan, filters, pitch, saturation, width, reverb, ducking, or stem selection, you are usually changing channel behavior.

Loop

A recorded performance slot. Loops capture pad triggers over time and can be edited, muted, duplicated, extended, quantized, and arranged.

Session timing

The timing context set by the first meaningful recorded loop. Later loops sync against that timing. BPM can be overridden in the Settings tab.

Scene

A stored arrangement of stacked loops which play together. Scenes let you build song sections and transitions, since scenes are played one after another in series.

Focus

The active pane receiving keyboard input:
  • Browser
  • Details
  • Mixer

Row

The currently selected workflow row inside the Create tab:
  • Pads
  • Loops
  • Scenes

PerformFX (coming soon)

A separate live-performance effect system available in the Perform tab.

Project

A saved .meiji file containing your session state, including pads, loops, scenes, mixer settings, and metadata. Projects are stored in:
  • ~/Documents/Meiji Sampler/Projects/
