So i’d like to load up PB4 with some of my Audiotent sample libraries. How can i keep sample randomisation for each lane to the sample library folder? For example, if I load up a folder of kicks in lane 1 and snares in lane 2 and I hit random samples from the factory library will picked but i’d only like samples from my custom sample library to picked. ---

Hi, you can drag and drop your samples into the right side of the preset manager, where you’ll find eight sample slots. Above these slots, there’s a “Randomize All” button, clicking it will select new samples exclusively from the folder your original sample came from. ![RNDMSL001](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/audiomodern/original/2X/6/69b4c30a1ad125e7f58a12f62e0cbfd857a9006f.png) ---
