Sampler items

Sampler items allow you to play sound files. You can adjust a number of parameters. Only files in .wav or .ogg format can be used. If you need to convert sound files, for example from .mp3 format, you can use Audacity <http://audacity.sourceforge.net/>, an excellent open-source sound editor.

Sampling rate

Sound files are always played back at the sampling rate that is used by the OpenSesame sampler back-end. If your sample appears to be sped up or slowed down, you can adjust the sampling rate of your sound file in a sound editor or change the sampling rate used by the OpenSesame sampler back-end (under 'Show back-end settings and info' in the General tab).
