Guest Helper ET Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 so i wanna take a quick sample of a piano key being struck or anything, and use the sound for the waveform in my oscillators. i know there are synths that can do this i just dont know which ones... thanks Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/40927-looking-for-a-softsynth/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCM Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 with Crystal VST you have to first load in the sample as a sound font then convert that to the waveform...something like that anyway.... instructions on line somewhere....Google it mate...sorry for not being very specific Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide BCM's signature Hide all signatures Bandcamp | Spotify | SoundCloud | Amazon | Apple Music | YouTube | YouTube Music | Deezer | Google Play Music Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/40927-looking-for-a-softsynth/#findComment-903997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David R James Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) A good software sampler will allow u to do that that. I used to use halion when it first came out to do that . Edit: one that has envelopes, and filters etc. i think kontakt does it Edited December 21, 2008 by David R James Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/40927-looking-for-a-softsynth/#findComment-904086 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest plangplang Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 hey ET if you're serious about this, try reading this: http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/techniques.htm it's from the dude who created MaxMSP and also PureData and explains in detail how digital audio processing works. I said try, because myself i couldn't make it past the first two chapters out of laziness. But it's been quite a good read so far. A synthesizer which uses a sample as waveform is simple and is explained in chapter one or two.

Guest epsy Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 vaz modular can (granular and straight sample based osc) (and is the best sounding soft synth ever made to boot) Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/40927-looking-for-a-softsynth/#findComment-904570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spraaaa Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 don't you use ableton et? you could just do this in the simpler/sampler though it depends what other kinds of modulations you want to do to it.

Guest narkeworld Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) epsy said: vaz modular can (granular and straight sample based osc) (and is the best sounding soft synth ever made to boot) I was thinking about getting this synth but the Arturia Moog Modular is a hundered dollars less. I think that extra hundred dollars that goes into the vaz modular may be for the mixer and the vst support, can't you sequence like 16 things/channels/sounds on it (I guess this is what the mixer is for)? I would get the vaz synth but the Arturia Moog Modular looks a bit more solid plus I don't need vst support and a mixer embedded into my synth. But I'd like to hear why you think the vaz modular is better than the Arturia Moog Modular, does it just sound better?

Guest epsy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 sound is far superior. arturia actually uses the exact same dsp across a number of synths they make. I believe sound on sound called them out in an article for this. Download the demos for vaz and arturia and it should be real obvious. Vaz has such nasty filters that when routed correctly rival my fuckin sherman filterbank.

awepittance Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) epsy said: vaz modular can (granular and straight sample based osc) (and is the best sounding soft synth ever made to boot) have to 2nd this, im glad most of the analogue fanboys havent discovered this monster. and yes it blows out of the water Arturia moog modular. I mean thats emulating a moog modular right? So if you want to be stuck in the moog modular paradigm by my guest. Vaz is a totally open ended modular synth like Reaktor is and has sampling features, digital effects processing like customizable flangers, phasors.

Guest Helper ET Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 i want to get into that complex modular stuff but i dont even know where to begin learning...are there any websites out there that explain it simply from the ground up?

Guest epsy Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Knowing the logic behind what you're doing is obviously helpful instead of just randomly connecting wires hoping you don't accidently set off some feedback loop that blows your monitors out. Although I think learning things completely 100% kinda ruins the magic for me personally in a way. If I knew EXACTLY how turning a knob would affect the sound it would kinda ruin it for me to some extent.
