First post! A real newbie!
Tried searching for what im looking for specifically and cant seem to find it.
I need to play same sounds (1-2 seconds) in various songs. Stored as .mp3 or .WAV files, and able to be assigned to a pad on the midi controller. What is the easiest and quickest way to add that to my rackspace? Its seems like the auto sampler is for pulling sounds from other vsts and such or creating long sounds.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Jeff
Use a vst sampler like Kontakt or battery or decent sampler
Something like this: [Gig] 8X Soundboard
(if you need something simple, of course)
If there are many sounds, then take a look at the recommendations above.

Yes, you can do that with the the Audio File Player in GigPerfomer. I have rackspaces with up to five wavs or mp3s assigned to the pads of my M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61.

Thanks for all the quick responses!!
I appreciate the suggestions. Are there any tutorials on adding this function out there? Again, I’m new to GP and still learning how to get everything set up.
So I figured Id ask for something more specific.
Thanks!

This looks like what I need - Never installed a .gig file yet - where do these go?
~Jeff
Download the gig file and load it in gig performer
You can save the gig file wherever you want.
Have you looked through the extensive documentation at all to understand the capabilities?

I’ve been happy with the free version of this (triggering sound effects):
(Someone mentioned you don’t have much control of envelope note off etc. But, for my purposes it has worked fine).
I figured for this quick thing it would be easy to ask the forum for help instead of trying to read through all of the “extensive documentation”. Thanks for the reminder though.
Do you have a rackspace that does this you can share? I can’t seem to get more than one lane to play on Audio File Player and even getting that to work was a PITA. I’m using v4.5.7.
I believe that everybody here uses v5 
(I just checked, your upgrade price is $69 if you want to upgrade)
4.5.7 has the Audio File Player - which was what my question was about. Is there a list of feature adds and bug fixes for v5?
Actually, if you are still on 4.5, then you should review the releases starting at 4.7 because, despite the same major version number, 4.7 was a huge upgrade from 4.5

I wrote a blog article: https://gigperformer.com/still-on-gig-performer-4-key-reasons-to-upgrade
None of the 5.x features are anything I’ll ever use so I’ll probably pass on upgrading - unless the SAFP is capable of MIDI triggering MP3 one-shots in more than one lane w/o a lot of wonky programming.
You can still update to v4.8 that has SAFP included (although the pitch shifting / time stretching are included in v5).
What do you mean by wonky programming?

It is!
Read up on SAFP markers and actions.
You can trigger actions such as pressing a widget button from a marker and that widget button can be mapped to the Play From Beginning parameter of the Audio File Player to do exactly that.
I think new features are not the only benefit of newer versions. Every release, whether major or minor, usually brings efficiencies and enhancements to existing features. Just my $0.02.
