Trigger Wav Samples

[S1User]

Hello Guys,

I'm working on a drum sample player and for the life of me I cannot get the Wave Array thing to work. If you can be so kind as to give a simple (as simple as possible) example of pre-loading a few samples into a wav array and then later triggering any of them from MIDI.

I've been reading here and on the net for a few days now and I just cannot get it to work.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot. Is there a wave array primitive in there? i can't find it. i really just need a simple schematic that shows how wave files play from a wave array prim. '

I'm wracking my brain.

Yes...there is a wave array in there...in a un-named module...at the top of the screen....

I don't think it's a good idea to work with the wave array. All wavefiles loaded to it will need to be of the same format and share only one ADSR.
It's better to have dedicated "oscillators" per drum channel, each with their own set of sound design tools, like ADSR, filter or eq, and panning, for example.

Thanks, but I don't need ADSR. I have a collection of drum samples and all I want to do is trigger them via midi and have them go to individual audio outputs in my DAW so they can be individually processed and mixed.

I have the same drum samples in a Kontakt kit that I created, and Kontakt is literally doing nothing to the samples but triggering them. I just want to move that kit to a standalone VST plugin

You may not need an actual ADSR but you’ll need something to keep the channel open while the sample plays out. Without this, the sample will stop playing when the midi note OFF signal arrives.

If there’s no ADSR you’ll need the envelope control prim (search for env in the toolbox). The prim will need to control the index counter so it starts the counter when a note is played and closes the channel with a poly bool signal when the index counter reaches maximum. That way you get one full shot independent of when the MIDI note OFF is received.

I finally got it working. Now I just need to figure out how to stop the sample from triggering every time I add or delete a primitive in the schematic.

The adventure continues.
