Samplerobot Loop Points
-
Hey there,
just wanted to ask what settings for samplerobot do you need in order to detect the integrated loop points when dragging them into the HISE sampler.
-
@elemen8t loop points are not a standardized format so I'm doing a best guess to extrapolate whatever info is in the metadata. Can you upload a sample that doesn't detect its loop points, then I can improve the parser.
-
@elemen8t
Did you ever get this solved?
I am looking into buying Samplerobot but will not unless I am sure that HISE will read the exported loop points.@Christoph-Hart
Anything you can add to this?
Thanks
-
@inlandempire same reply still applies, please upload one sample with the looppoints and if they don‘t work I‘ll take a look.

@Christoph-Hart
Thanks for clearing. I will start downloadinging the demo and see if can do an export from it — which may work or may not ;-)
Thanks -
@inlandempire If you happen to be on Mac, I find Auto Sampler (part of Logic and Main Stage) to be way better than Sample Robot for recording and editing multi-samples.
If you don't have Logic, or don't want to buy it, then Main Stage is only about $50/£30 and I'm pretty sure it has the same full Sampler/Auto Sampler features as Logic.

Oh that sounds great — I am not using Logic anymore but I think the license is the same (as the one I have)... will check it out. But I assume it does not help with looping points though. -
@inlandempire Yeah, if you bought Logic at any time in the past you'll be able to download the latest version from your Apple account in the App Store on Mac. Free lifetime updates!
Not sure about the loop points, but I'd be surprised if HISE doesn't already support Logic loop points. And if it doesn't, it needs to because I'll be doing some sample-based plugins soon!

@dannytaurus @Christoph-Hart
OK I managed to do the test samples with Logic Auto sampler, and then exporting the exs file to SFZ with this handy little tool https://www.bjoernbojahr.de/exs2sfz.htmlI have now placed the samples in the project samples folder and try to import the SFZ... but HISE seems to just preload forever.... am I doing this wrong?

@dannytaurus
No I don't. I simply used the sfz import function in the left side of the sample editor.
I am only using HISE on a very basic level but want toi prepare the sample maps to my developer. I will talk to him. He surely knows.Thanks

@elemen8t
Please take a look on the scripting suggested above. Thanks -
Just a follow up on this thread if other will look for the answer.
I have now "accomplished" the path from Logic Auto Sampler to HISE ...and it's pretty easy (could be even more I assume)
- Sample in Logic Auto Sampler
- Save as EXS
- Convert EXS to SFZ with the EXS2SFZ program (Mac and Windows)
- Convert SFZ to HISE here https://keypleezer.com/sfz-to-hise-converter/ - this step should not be required but I could not get HISE SFZ import function to work.
- Copy/Paste the converted data to a text-file and sving it as an .xml samplemap
- Edit in text editor. For some reason the EXS to SFZ conversion leave out 30% of the "Sample End" data, so in the final file I had to set a static sample end number for those samples.
- Re-enable sample looping in HISE sample.
All good....

@inlandempire Wow, that's a lot of work!
We need to be able to simply add an EXS file and it imports everything. If that's not currently possible then I'll certainly start working on it when the need arises for me.

Everything more seamless than almost seamless is lovable :-)
the process though add around 3 min. per samples map. But I agree that it would be great — after all Logic is still a major "source". -
@inlandempire I've been spoiled by this simple workflow from Maize Sampler, where I built my first sample-based plugins.
Import an EXS file and it imports all the samples with key ranges, loop points, etc. Lovely!
I'll be on to some sample-based stuff soon. Looking forward to tackling this!
