Hi. I have many wav files with loop points inside. When I load a wav file, I want who SM use the loop point. How to make this operation? Thanks.

Sorry for my wrong english 😝 .

I don't think SynthMaker exposes the loop points to use within the program. So right now, the only way you could do this is to have an external script or program to read the chunk data from the wave file and report back the location of the loop points (which would be quite difficult).

If SynthMaker's allowed binary data to be brought into the program you could do this internally (reading binary files is an often requested feature)... but preferred would be to support the loop point data structures of the wave file format by adding outputs to the Wave File primitive or by adding a second primitive (or set of primitives) that could expose data from the more common chunk types used in '.wav' files.

    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.
