Press Browse to Load a Sample in an Empty Simpler.

By default, Simpler will automatically set certain parameters based on the length of the loaded
sample. For example, short samples will play once when triggered, while long samples will be
set to loop and warp. Warped samples will play back at the tempo of your Set, regardless of
