How to import one-shots into S.K.Y. Keys

Load your sample

1. Open S.K.Y. Keys as an instrument in your DAW.
2. Open the Drag & Drop tab and drag your audio file into the area labeled Drop a sample here.
3. S.K.Y. Keys detects the sample's pitch automatically. Check the Sample Note selector and adjust it if needed.
4. Play a few notes to hear the sample across the keyboard.

Try a few variations

Keep a short MIDI phrase playing while you change one control at a time. Try Vibrato for pitch movement, Filter to change the tone, or Reverb and Saturation for a different character. These are starting points for experimentation; the result depends on your recording and the settings you choose.

Use Attack and Release to adjust the envelope. Release does not make the underlying recording longer: notes still end when the sample file ends.

If an older version crashes during import

Download the current plug-in from your account. An earlier drag-and-drop crash is addressed in the site's support guidance. If the problem continues, contact support with the file type, your operating system and DAW, and a screenshot of the issue when useful.
