WAV Sampler without SFZ

Postby robinw » Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:26 am

Hello Forum,

I have to admit that I am fairly new to Flowstone, so maybe my question is first grade stuff: I created a simple multisampler with the built in multisampler module. Unfortunately, this is only working with SFZ files and not "standalone" WAV files. I would like to create a WAV Sampler that doesn't need to be feeded with SFZ files to load a WAV. I want to load the WAV directly into the sampler. It's clear to me, that I would loose the multisample functionality with this, but that is my purpose.

Here is how the schematic should look like:

Load WAV | Clear WAV | File name | Transpose & Volume

I hope that some of you clever guys can help me with this. I would like to know how this works and is a good adaption to my beginners knowledge of the software.

Robin

You may hook up a file dialog prim to a button to set the path and use wave file prim or wave array prim (in case you're aiming for multisampler) to load those wave files. For the sampler wave reader, simply copy the one from the stock one.

Hi Robin, welcome to Flowstone.

I moved this topic to general section because user examples is meant to be for users posting their own modules.

If you are not bothered about multi sample then just use the "Wave Player" module.

I have a more advanced version of a Wave player on Flowstone Guru, Sample Looper/Player.

Sorry for my late answer, I was away a lot in the last days. So first at all: Thank you for your answers. I'm really up to learn Flowstone and you really helped me out. I went a step further now.

Hey Exo, thank you for the link. I already discovered your website and it is in my bookmarks. I just downloaded your Wave Player Module and I am impressed about it. This was exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!

One big disadvantage of the wav player which still is not updated after all these years, and dsp knows about it.
It's not supporting any samples that are prepared with for example Wavelab, where you can add loop marker points.
This unfortunately only works with the SFZ. Then you need an extra txt file containing all data about start loop and end markers.
These marker points will be stored in a header part of the wav sample. This is all standard according the microsoft WAV file.
So when you have allready sample very nice and accurate marked with pointers then the wav module does not do a thing with it. So you must use SFZ which sucks or you can use the gurus example.

Also it is not possible to create a container (or maybe it is when using the dll function? or with ruby maybe.
So you're samples are easily to use as long it is wav and not packed i a container.

(of course everything can be cracked so they can use it anyway)

so if you want your own samples in a sampler, then better stick to Kontakt or Sampletank.
