Q: Vocal sounds

I am still in the early learning stages of MainStage but I was wondering if there is a way to assign a vocal sound to say a drum pad?  For instance in Legacy there are vocal sounds that are different for every key like "Lets rock", "do it again" etc.  Is there a way to assign just a certain vocal sound (say on C sharp) to a drum pad to trigger only that sound?

Thanks for any help on this.....

    You can do this by building your own EXS instrument. It's not that difficult, just create a channel strip with an EXS24, open the UI, click the edit button to open the Instrument Editor. Now, drag your vocal samples or sounds into the editor and adjust the key ranges. It's all in the manual.

    If you have Logic, you can put all your vocal samples on an audio track and convert that track to a sampler instrument.

     

    Best,
