Hi Rylan: 'Question! should I copy only individual audio samples in the folder I created for the scripts and audio samples? or would it be okay to copy an entire section of instruments such as one containing pianos of various types? Thanks, Robbie Lee. ----- Original Message ----- From: "yRylan Vroom" <dj.sonr@xxxxxxxxx>

Not a problem Robbert. If you enable midi output on an SFZ instance
you'll be able to send it to a drum map and use it in the step
sequencer as well. cheers

Hi Robbert, I've experienced a similar issue. To play a single wav
file on a musical scale, you can load it up in dimention Pro. To map
multiple audio samples to keys on your keyboard, you need to load them
into the SFZ multisampler. The easiest way to do this with as little
understanding and hastle as possible is as follows. Take all the wave
files you want to use, put them into a folder you make exclusively for
the purpose. Now, I'm going to give you a script that you need to copy
paste exactly from this email into a blank notepad file. Rename it to
have a .vbs extention, then put that new vbs file into the folder
where your wave files are stored. Hit enter on the vbs file once
you've pasted it into that folder, and it will output a sfz file. Load
up an SFZ track in sonar, and load your new SFZ file into it. Voila!
You now have a basic multi sample setup. You can of course add a lot
more to the SFZ file with regard to other settings to change how the
samples sound and so on, but I'll leave it up to you to do that
reading :) Oh, by the way, don't move the sample wave files from your
dedicated sample folder if you want your sfz file to continue working.
Here's the script:
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folder = fso.GetFolder(".")
Set files = folder.Files

Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile( folder & "\new.sfz" , True )
keyCounter = 36

for each objFile in files
   sName = objFile.Name
   if StrComp(Right(sName, 4), ".wav", 1) = 0 then
      outFile.WriteLine("<region> sample=" & sName & " key=" &
keyCounter)
      keyCounter = keyCounter + 1
   end if
next

outFile.Close
set files = nothing
set folder = nothing
set fsoFolder = nothing

End of script. HTH

SFZ is installed with Sonar if you did the regular install. Look for it

your soft synths menu.

By custom do you mean samples that I played myself? I didn't create these 

I
selected them from a program called: Multi Samples that came bundled
with
Sonar. Well I tried the peddle technique and It doesn't prevent the pops 
and
clicks. One more question: Where do I find the FSZ sample player? Can it 

be
downloaded from the Cakewalk web site? or is it on my Sonar installation 
disk? If so I will check and see and install it. Robbie Lee.

Are you using custom made samples? It could be that you have clipping
issues
or the samples are stopping at a bad point of the envelope, and causing
the
click. Hold down the pedal before you release the key, see if that gets
rid
of it. Also, what if you use sfz and create a quick test that way, do
they
still click?

HTH, D!J!X!

Hi: I'm using my Roland midi synth to trigger audio samples from the
Matrix
View: I've never used this feature before and have been experimenting
and
reading the tutorial section on it in CT. for the past five days.I'm
using
it to build a drum kit but, I can't seem to get rid of the audio clicks
and
pops when I release my synth's key between beats. I've tried making
adjustment to the buffers in my audio interface. that improved it but
did
not eliminate it. Is there anyone on the list using the Matrix feature
with
success. If so: 'mind giving a few pointers to a first timer? 'Would
greatly
appreciate it. Robbie Lee
