Hi guys Any ideas as to when there will be updated wav file handling? I would like to implement some kind of wav playing system within a synth. In order to create looping systems I would need to know the length of the wav file. Would it be possible to have the wfile component output this value (I think it would be best if it was in terms of samples). Also; The ability to play longer samples; A poly wfile component.

I recently asked about this, they are going to be updated in a future release.

Hi galaa,
We will be looking at the whole wav file handling issue at some point. The component that's there at the moment is (as you've no doubt noticed) very basic indeed.
With so many small issues to deal with it's difficult to say when wav handling will get some treatment. Tom, sorry I can't remember if it was Jorge or myself that told you it would be updated in a future release. From what I've just said this is obviously true but I'm not sure how far into the future you think it's going to be. Maybe you talked with Jorge recently about this?
It's great that there is so much activity with SM at the moment and we don't want to stand in the way of this. So small updates can certainly be done sooner rather than later. We're trying to balance this kind of support with the work that needs to be done to get us to version 1.0.
Outputting the length of the wave file should be no problem at all. I would imagine that support for longer samples should be easy too.
When you say poly wfile do you mean the same component but with Poly connectors?
Thanks

Tom,
Apologies, my brain is still in first gear after being away - you did speak to me about the wav file component.

Heh no worries 🙂 I had a good idea for it, being able to set its time before looping, dunno if you told Jorge about this should i message him about that? Thanks 🙂

Also once you have this one up and running i think it would be very cool to add extra formats such as MP3 and Aiff, or maybe have similar modules for them 🙂

Yep
I think as Tom said if we could have acces to the length of the sample then all manner of looping possibilities would be possible

Maybe the output could be both Poly and Mono and simply set by a string entry to choose the format and then the outputs update in realtime.
