Hi all,is it possible to have more than one sample player in a schematic and will both sample players be able to produce audio at the same time.
I ahve a scematic with two sample players in it both are loaded with samples-If i connect both of them to the output stage only one will play its audio,if I disconnect the one that is playing then the other sfz player will now produce audio.
Do their signals have to be combined or is it not possible to have two or more sample players?
Thanks. 🙂

Two sample players shouldn't be a problem.
However if you are driving them from MIDI, SM can get confused if you have more than one MIDI to Poly module.
After a MIDI to Poly, there's usually a whole load of stuff that uses the poly (white) connections. But white sections coming from seperate MIDI-to-Poly's won't mix together properly.
The way around that is to use a combiner module at the end of each section to get a mono (blue) output. You can then safely connect the blue connections together to merge the sounds.

Hi,thanks for the reply.
I have Just checked my schematic and cannot see a midi to poly.
I have a midi to sample and when I click in the midi to sample module there is a midi to voice which is connected to a voices to poly module.Is it the voices to poly module that needs its output combining?
Sorry about the dumb questions,I am new to SM but becoming very addicted to it. 🙂
Thanks

Hey man 🙂,
I go through phases where I do little else than use SM.
Do you want to post your schematic?
I can have a look at it.
The 'midi to voice' and 'voice to poly' is the element trog means when he said 'midi to poly'.
Try using just one 'midi to poly', if you have more than one, unless you want to use more than 1 midi source.
Please post your schematic if you like 🙂
edit-
Trog means to place the 'poly to mono' or combiner, on the output's of the samplers.
try that 🙂
Then you can merge the streams in blue
Sorry I had to edit my reply, as I was being fuggy in the morning hehe

HI,thanks for taking a look at it.
I basically have two sample players and have a series of switches that will switch sample index on one sample player to allow me to play differnet banks of sounds and this sample player will have its own adsr envelope.
I want to create a second sample player with its own adsr.
I think there is something wrong with my output as well because it is not showing vst option.
Any help would be great.
SM is brilliant but man what a learning curve.Great fun though.
🙂

Thats got it guys-thanks very much for your help.
I love this software and this forum I am hooked.
😍

Yeah the learning curve was long for me, I still don't understand much stuff in the frequency domain.
I am not familiar with sfz, so I may have broken some of the functionality.
I have 2 .wavs playing now off 1 midi input. They have seperate adsr 🙂
Let me know what's the next step if you are scratching your head, and we try and use the .sfz to their potential.
Cheers man
I see you got it, nice!
Here is my file anyway
