Abstract
Audio samples corresponding to audio extracts or whole audio titles are automatically mapped to triggersin a playable sound-producing device, the mapping being dependent on the meta-data associated with the audio samples. Thus, a user can play the sound-producing device and generate sounds derived from his favorite audio titles. It is possible to define different mappings between the audio samples and the playable domain of the sound-producing device: an audio sample selectorcan select between different possible samples for playback by comparing the audio properties of the samples and the play-mode and/or characteristics of the user's performance. An audio sampler/sample-processorcan automatically extract segments of an audio source file and map them to triggers in the sound-producing device
