Note Editor
The Note Editor is a rich text editor built into Sample Vault. Use it to keep project notes, reference information, ideas, and to-do lists alongside your sample library — all in one place, without switching to another app.
Writing Notes
Notes are written in Markdown. If you’re not familiar with Markdown syntax, the guide covers everything you need.
Common formatting:
| Syntax | Result |
|---|
**bold** | bold |
*italic* | italic |
# Heading | Large heading |
## Heading | Subheading |
- item | Bullet list |
- [ ] task | Unchecked to-do |
- [x] task | Checked to-do |
`code` | Inline code |
To-Do Lists
Create checkable to-do items by writing - [ ] at the start of a line:
- [ ] Find reference kicks for the intro
- [ ] Layer the main pad with a C minor sample
- [x] Export stems
Previously, to-do lists were a separate feature. They are now consolidated into notes.
Slash Commands
Type / anywhere in a note to open the command menu. Slash commands let you insert formatted blocks without typing Markdown syntax manually.
Common commands:
| Command | Inserts |
|---|
/heading | A heading block |
/bullet | A bullet list |
/todo | A to-do item |
/divider | A horizontal rule |
/code | A code block |
Reordering Sections
Drag the handle to the left of any block to move it up or down. This lets you reorganize your notes without cutting and pasting.
Notes and Workspaces
Notes are associated with your active workspace. Switching workspaces in the title bar shows the notes for that workspace.
