graphics or alike that illustrate your point would help (me at least 😉 )

If your sample player was built within SM you could avoid the 'sucking' problem easily because each note would be in it's own channel in the poly stream. But I can't see how you'd avoid it if you're talking about feeding the audio from an external sampler into a plugin.

Trying some kind of phase cancellation would be next to impossible (I think... I can't see how you'd match the phase of an external sampled instrument).

The only other thing I can think of is a filter that makes notches at the harmonic frequencies of the incoming fundamental based on velocity. But even that is bound to cause spill-over to other notes.

Maybe a technique used in the Roland D-Series Synthesizers would help: Mix your piano samples (mostly used for attack phase) with synthesized waveforms (sustain), where you have full control over the spectrum.

Before your first post

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Then your post goes up straight away.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
