Cubase’s sampler track – what’s the advantage over typical sampler, if any? – Hosts & Applications (Sequencers, DAWs, Audio Editors, etc.) Forum

I think he’s asking why is sampler track different to a sample being loaded on a timeline which seems interesting question.

No, I’m actually asking why they introduced sampler track instead of separate sampler device, like any DAW has – Ableton, Bitwig, Reason, Studio One, etc. I don’t see any advantage but mostly drawbacks, for example I don’t think you can easily replace instrument from sample track to a synth, because there’s no device that you can remove and put something else in its place.

It just strikes me as a weird choice, but perhaps I don’t understand the reasoning.
