... o-kaaay so when i export a *.csv definition file, and it creates the folder of samples, do these have the loops 'baked in' now? if i understand, loop points in wavs are in the header, and are 'universal' ? (not sure how that works but have had a glimpse of) that's very useful, just got a couple ...

found another use for saving definitions :) as it exports a folder of copies of the samples, with names formatted 0000- upwards, this is something i can use in file renaming ! then select all new files, 'rename here' with Bulk Renamer, and add a prefix, remove a zero or two. (eg: MPC500 likes short ...

more thoughts: a graphic interface for defining zones on X-Y axis, across a midi keyboard. decent size, plenty of space to drop samples and drag them around. sizing of zones snaps to midi notes and velocity values. each zone being an 'object', with coordinates. sounds a bit like Skinman by g200k .. ...

what i like perhaps most (?) about Viena is that it loads fast. it's loading faster than winamp here at the moment (my PC needs refreshing) so a soundfont has become a doubleclick-to-audition format, which is great. (i'm sure i could've done this before with something else, but it probably had a spl...

passing thought: using akai mpc500 at the moment, with MPC Maid, which lets you set up to 4 layers, in the akai *.pgm program. there's a 'copy parameters to all pads' button, which helps do quick and basic setups. and on the mpc500 itself, you can select a single pad, and do '12-levels', which can b...

do you have any visuals for this ? why not direct from browser, if it's only copying? i noticed that importing the *.csv creates new copies of the samples in a folder, numbered 0000 upwards. (Vosyr does something similar) this is nice. haven't thought of how this extra folder of copies could be used...

have you ever considered doing a drag'n'drop interface? (or module) at one point i looked at VSampler as a means of making soundfonts because it saves as sf2. but the GUI on the version i tried was tiny, so way too fiddly. it's a longstanding wish, with making sample programs (including soundfonts a...

and now.. ;) i want to know what else i can define in csv/text ! i've only exported definitions of simple soundfonts so far. so i haven't seen velocity splits or other parameters in csv form. (lol i discovered Miss Excel today, great interview on how she's making serious money selling excel course o...

aaaand that was fixed easily too. decided to delete the 'ALL' preset, because it was the one referencing the first set of samples, manually removed them before seeing the 'delete duplicates' button in the main page !

great progress

ok: did the full file this time and it ran fine. still created doubles for existing instruments, and for all the samples. this time i did Purge and it only removed 3 of 32 :-/ so now i don't know which ones i need or not.. save file.. getting there.. now going to delete doubles and see what complain...
