I agree with separating it into two wishes. You can always reference both wishes by pasting a link to eachother.
Regarding the Sampling Robot/Automation:
I think this functionality could be useful even if multi-sample instruments was not a thing.
Here’s a couple options i could see as features for such a functionality:
- it could multisample to one
.wavfile, which could be used with the existing Sample Slice functionality and auto creates those slices. - it could also have an option to create multiple
.wavfiles, that could be useful for a future multi-sample instrument. - it could record a proper wavetable
.wavfile, by sending the correct midi data to an external device to record the resulting.wavwavetable.
Regarding the Multi-sample Instrument:
My suggestion would be a way to assign samples yourself into this new instrument. This would obviously require a new UI View to do this. But i see a couple benefits from that:
- You could define visually the range that one sample covers (for example c4 - c5)
- This could be practical also from a performance standpoint, the less samples you need the better.
- No need for a rule-set on how to name your
.wavfiles.
