Add Samples In Folder
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2023 11:15 am
hi, thanks for Viena. excellent as sf2 auditioner, and have noticed i can now auto-generate a soundfont from a folder of files! don't recall seeing that in earlier versions. this is an excellent time-saver for wrapping up a bunch of sounds into a 'sample program'. feel quite lazy about making soundfonts/sample programs, and the keymapping/velocity-mapping process. am experimenting with converting soundfonts to sampler formats. presets get converted to 'presets' within a 'bank' in *.esi format for emu - and in software samplers that load sf2.
it would be nice to have an options dialogue to define the kind of soundfont to be generated more.
currently (testing with mono, for simplicity's sake) it maps 1 sample per midi note, adjusted for root pitch, starting from 0.
there could be an option to define starting note - why not end note too (and if number of samples exceeds available range? some other options)
i was looking for a way to auto-generate an instrument (and preset) for each sound, mapped to full range. (AWave can do this)
and then thinking of the quickest way to do it with Viena. so far i'm doing each one individually, which is ok for 7 or 8 sounds, but 100 is a bit of a task, if you just want to check a folder of sounds out quickly and audition them as samples.
or maybe presets, lke 1octave per sample, 4 notes, 5 notes, etc.
user defined presets? (text scripts?)
something 'auto' with velocity layers?
tbh i'm still looking through the finer points of the program to see if i've missed things. not sure what Sondero is yet..
