This may be a easy one, but not for me... 😀 I try to put a wave sample on C3 and the next one on E3, next on G3 and so on.

My question is, how do I limit a wave to stay in between C3 - D#3 for example. I know how to limit it in the top or (not and) bottom end, so how do I make the limit on both. (I use the float minus and adding the note number I want it to start from or end on)

I hope you guys understand my question and have an answer.

just use the compare primitves, like "greater than" or "less than" to check the boundaries. Don't know what you use to get the midinotes (green data or stream), so I can't give you more information.

TA Guys, you are more than fantastic. I will try your comments out as soon I leave this borring 9-5 deskjob... 😉

I thought of something else, is it possible (as example) to change just the sound on the samples in the same way, but instead of have 1 sample every 4th note I keep the same sample over all and instead are applying an eq/filter every 4th step.

cuz my original problem wasn't that the sound was bad and sounded "sampled", it was because my sample started to loose hi freq the lower I played it and what i really are after (if possible) is to add som EQ little by little the lower down I play. And if I could have an EQ that applys after my note range. I hope you got the picture I try to explain. 😊

just use the SVF filter component, and connect the pitch input of it to the pitch output of the Midi-to-poly component. Then you've got a key-tracking filter... that's basicaly what you're looking for

Twisted_Chrylle ·

ok, that was easy, I never thought about that... 😊

but how do I invert it? I want the filter to go higher and "stickier" the lower I play?

MyCo ·

just calculate with the pitch signal...eg. substract the original pitch from the pitch of the root key

Twisted_Chrylle ·

sorry if I seems to be little daft, but do you have any example or a pic to show me, so I get an idea what exactly you mean? 😊

MyCo ·

I've made a OSM, but it's a little bit different to that what I described.

In this OSM I use a band pass filter. If a key is lower than the root key of the sample, it adds a amount of the band pass filtered sample to the output. The lower the key, the higher is the added amount.

You are an 😇 Let me try those options when I come home tonight... 🙂

If you need any help in the future and you think I can help, you know where to find me... 😀

Ok, I played around with your examples and I find both quite valuable. I’m using something between multi samples and pitch EQ/Filter to shape the sound. 😀 Thanks to Myco and "x-ray homer" 😉

Cheers

FL Studio has a plugin called Direct Wave it will make layered samples for each note but will not save as SF2.You could try Creative's Vienna to construct a soundfont,however you would still need a player.I suggest a MIDI module to select your notes.There is a gui keyboard in this forum someplace that uses the MIDI note idea.Using a wave is not the same as a SF because there is no looping or ADSR and so on.SynthEdit has a soundfont module that works very well.More than one sample player gets real sticky in SM---I could not get it to work.

I've made an example for you: http://www.box.net/shared/x39n3f4g8o Maby it will help you.
