nebulae wrote:^ cool, will test out tonight - I think it would be most useful to do a generic example...a step by step for newbies who basically want to create a Sampler patch of traditional tuning. How to go about this? What are the best settings? How to map them in Sampler, etc.

Overall, the tool is fabulous!

basic tuning for sampler:
step 1: use basenote + offset factor of 1 + Create AMS for Key Map + (how ever many notes you want)
step 2: use the same value for basenote and keymap (like 24)
step 3: click generate
step 4: drag and drop all the exported files onto sampler. it automaps.

basic tuning for simpler:
same as above, but use a rack and multiple simplers... it doesn't automap.

BUT!!!! if someone wants to post a multimode template sampler/rack patch, i think that might work. let us know what the name of the files it's looking for and just export with that same prefix. boom goes the dynamite!

ok as a total self-admitted noob, I'm wondering if Bjorn might put together a Vimeo of this process? I just need to see it once to get it.

I tried it the other day.. Install went smoothly. Windows booted into the blue screen. Wiped the partition, reinstalled, same problem..

Best of both worlds indeed ;)

WINE I believe is what Neb was talking about. No Windows needed.

...afraid not. apps made with vb.net require the .net 2.0 runtime that ships only with m$ windows.

Unfortunately but, I think WINE is what Neb was reaching for. Although it appears to be useless for this situation as well. :?

This sounds really cool! I wish I had Windows just to mess with this.

Y'all know there is another way to use Sampler microtonally? Not necessarily better, but it works for me. I do it by loading samples, adjusting the zones to a semitone per sample and use the key tracking scale and the detune function on the "sample" tab to tune each note (+ or - a number of cents deviation from tempered tuning). This is a great reference for that:

The sound design side of ams files really intrigues me, though. I'd love to learn more about that.

what's the error say? what os?

alls you really need is > xp with service packs. i could have sworn .net 2.0 came with vista so i'm kinda stumped unless it was a d/l transfer error.

if its a security thing you may have to trust my assembly somewhere... i forget where but you can tell windows to trust the app even though it's not "signed" by me... not even sure how to do that because it's run on every pc i've tried it on.
