Wave files and Samples

Post by **Neil B** » Mon Nov 11, 2002 2:28 am

This is probably a geky sort of question but I'm never scared of embarrasing myself.
Is there any software on the market that can take wave files and convert them to samples?
Now I know that the answer is "Yes" but:
1. I read a recent thread on this. I loaded a wave file into Recycle II. I exported it as a soundfont file and loaded it into the STS 2000 Player. Okay it works, but I have to adjust the STS 2000P up 2 octaves and I don't have control of the ADSR - for instance the attacke of the note.
2. Again using Recycle I exported it as an Akai sample but this is only compatible with the Akai 5000/6000 series I believe.
3. The old Sample Player and Sample Player F are not happy with these formats either.

So basically what I want is something that can convert a wave file and be used in the sample player F (which gives me control of the ADSR. I'm not after something that generates superb samples, simply a means of having the wave files playable and tuned perhaps over 1 octave, thus saving me lots of work in pitch shifting wave files etc.

Any helpers?

I think there was a utility available here on planetZ called STS Creator.. Create a simple program out of any sample... Also had a batch mode for goingn thru a complete directory.

Thanks for the rapid responses guys.
Downloaded and I'll test it later.
I'm just relieved that it wasn't such a stupid question after all

It works fine thanks to you both. That really helps to do a large percentage of what I was looking to do, by converting them for the STS 2000P.
Now, if only I could get them into the old Sample Player and Sample Player F.... so this thread remains open if anyone can help
Thanks again.

They are already suppose to work in old sample player? any .STS or .P can be loaded by the old sample player... Maybe i'm wrong?

Thanks for yet another reply - I tried it in a hurry and didn't have time to check the old players.
With an embarassed expression on my face I shall switch on the music computer!
Thanks - I'll let you know
