The Sample Map of The Future: Escaping the 20th Century Sample Mapping Paradigm

@Simon said in The Sample Map of The Future: Escaping the 20th Century Sample Mapping Paradigm:
The biggest change for me here is being able to use dynamic xfades and round robins simultaneously in one sampler.
Already possible, see Lindon's recent thread

@d-healey I know you technically CAN, but I mean in a way that is easy to work with, and doesn't require using RR groups for two different purposes.

Quick survey: how much of you that are using the Crossfade feature actually use the tables for customizing the crossfade curves? I mean changing this
to something like this:
The reason I ask is that now we have that nice xfader node available in scriptnode, we can just use its algorithms to replace the table curves which makes it much faster to calculate and easier to implement / maintain (I'll include a few fade types which should cover most use cases):
I'll keep the tables around in the old system for backwards compatibility of course, but not having to drag this tech debt to the new system would be nice.
-
@Christoph-Hart I leave them as linear fades and rely on CC smoothing for the curvyness.
-
@Christoph-Hart Me, 100% of the time. I adjust it until the xfade feels right. I also pretty much never want a linear fade from one to the other, but expand the dynamic range by making the lower dynamic fade down in the lower range.

@Christoph-Hart I would not at all be opposed to having the common curves as presets, but it's quite important to be able to adjust the curves for feel.
-
@Simon Now you mention it I sometimes do that dipping technique as well.
-
@d-healey alrighty, then I'll make two separate logic types for the fade (one called TableFade with the tables and one called XFade using the inbuilt fade types). I'll probably exclude the table fade for the MVP , as it's a lot of boilerplate and some UX annoyances to get there.
Ideally you can then use multiple dimensions of fading layers, so you if you have a matrix of 3 dynamic layers and vib / no vib, you can then fade between all 6 samples using two different CCs.

Lovely work, puts my sampler to shame
