Previewing segments of the same sample

[eggnog]

Hi!

I am currently implementing a sample slicer (aka sample chop) and I want to let the user preview each slice individually.

What would be the most straightforward approach for this purpose:

• Map a ModulatorSamplerSound referencing the same sample over a range of MIDI notes (1 per slice), each sound having a specific SampleStart / SampleEnd
• Simply set the SampleStart and SampleEnd right before triggering the portion of the sample
• Use SamplePreview from the SampleEditorHandler

I believe all methods would work but some might have advantages over others.

Thanks in advance for any help,
E.

Alright for those interested, the most straightforward solution (in my case) was to map one ModulatorSamplerSound per MIDI note and set the Sample start/end accordingly.

It would be really cool to be able to synchronously set the sample start/end positions without killing the voices when the sample is loaded entirely in memory (no streaming).

Note that I had to disable the pool "search mode" when loading the same sample over a range of MIDI notes, otherwise updating the start/end positions would be mirrored on every sample.

auto pool = sampler->getSampleMap()->getCurrentSamplePool();
jassert(pool);
pool->setDeactivatePoolSearch(true);

I believe this is why this pool mode exists, @Christoph-Hart, i.e.: to allow each duplicate sample entry to have its own properties?
