Multi-sample Instrument PGM

What's everyone's method of creating multi-sample instrument programs?

I created some programs with samples from my guitar and a friend's Triton Extreme and they worked out great. I sampled as many octaves as possible and tried to make every note the same length and velocity.

So that worked fine, so I bought a piano sample CD. It was a huge pain in the ass creating a program for it. There were a few notes missing from each octave. So I had to tune a lot of them.

Both of these took a real long time though. Does anyone have any suggestions for making either way a bit easier or faster?

BTW, I used Soundforge for editing my files and BlueBox for creating programs.

AWAVE 9.3!!!

Penfold, you are the man. This program is awesome, thanks!

that sounds interesting... somebody tell me more about what tasks you use awave for and why it's good?

Sometimes in this forum, you get one worded answers because sometimes you dont need a long explaination to what is and what not... If you want a professional explanation into what "tasks you use awave for and why it's good?" then no...

Why? because the previous poster asked for "Does anyone have any suggestions for making either way a bit easier or faster?"
In terms of making programs, fine tuning them, using sample CD's etc.

Then i answered with AWAVE 9.3.
It dont take a genius to google this and see for them selves how it can help them? why u need to be told?

anyway awave does what mpc editor does, what bluebox does and more. it does it for all PGM type files, from Kontact, ReFills, SoundFonts the works...also try looking into Chicken Translator....

I'm glad i did not have to get into why i mentioned to you. and your welcome.

hi penfold,

well the reason is i was just hopin to save some time

and in the time u spent to tell me 'no' u probably could have xplained.

but oh well i don't expect a free lunch

its just nice when it happens.


i thought i might have built up some good karma from xplaining to people what's midi thru .

plus u know, im honestly sick of googling around the net and reading manuals etc, ive done it a lot and i have to google a lot for my job which is in research, so, im sick of it.

so does anybody else have interesting things to say about why awave is helpful to use with the mpc1k? what does it do that bluebox doesn't?

maybe my tone was abit harsh...and my words, but how can you save time ? what if no one answers? i think what i am trying to say is DO FOR YOUR SELF cause no one will do for you.
