Is it really true that SM is 16bit only for loading & saving samples? Urm, I thought 24bit was the minimum mastering standard? If both questions are true, then this would have to be a high priority IMHO. Going higher than 24bit could be useful to others also. 32 bit wav file save? http://www.kvraudio.com/news.php?id=14777 Choice of three WAV formats to maximize integration with Wavetable Synthesizers and Samples: 32-bit/96K WAV for synthesizers such as Cakewalk Rapture, 24-bit/44.1K WAV for samplers, and 64-bit/96K WAV for professional sound-designers.

Note: 16bit is not even listed as an option. 64bit loading/saving would require more SSE2+ of cource.

Yes, wav handling does seem to have been a bit of an afterthough. Needs a complete overhaul to include higher bit depths - at the same time adding streaming to/from disk and reading/writing loop points (at the very least), so that we can make proper samplers capable of competing with what's already out there.

    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.
