How I made those pads aka The Magic of Auto-Sampling (Kontakt/SFZ Tutorial)

[@deepsearesearchcenter6629]

Your walkthrough of Translator saved me so much time. Thank you.

[@jchepher]

This has literally changed my life! Thank you, I can sample all my external stuff now

[@DavidHilowitzMusic]

Glad it helped! Yeah, I kind of buried the lede: the main purpose of AutoSampler is sampling external hardware and it does that really well. :)

[@actonblue2012]

I have Studio One and I am going to try this with Prescence XT and Sample XT. Thanks for the ideas and instruction.

[@matrix12x]

Great video. very helpful. I've used auto sample to sample some older vintage synths I have into EXS24. The round robin is great for making it feel more analog. This way whenever I hit the same note, I don't get the same sample repeatedly.

[@sgib199]

This is great stuff!

[@sgunmusic]

For those who are in windows , u can do this with FL studio directwave as well just create a directwave instrument and it auto samples , just in the sample menu don't check in monolith files, it provide u with all samples in wav file where u save the dwp instrument :) enjoy

[@lahattec]

Yea, that Mandolin pad was genius!

[@kirkydaturkey]

Been curious about something like this. Super cool!

[@ulfrohdin]

You are kind of talking above my head, but this was super interesting.

[@lunchpin403]

Same, sounds great though

[@pyramydseven]

Nice work. I like it.

[@KevinMantheiMusic]

This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheAudioDabbler]

Main stage is awesome!!!!

[@Voxrobot]

Thank you -- this will save me hours and hours.

[@tybowesformerlygoat-x7760]

Thanks so much.

[@thosesmallyesterdays]

Is it possible at some point to do a video on GUI's like this one? background photo, knobs layout and maybe, if possible, knob buttons swapping with proper looking knobs.. :) Thanks for everything you re doing for the community! :)

[@thosesmallyesterdays]

Just found a past video of yours about that custom knob on the PVC instrument, off to watch that! :)

[@alainterieur794]

DirectWave in FL Studio does this too on Windows and macOS.

[@DavidHilowitzMusic]

Ah, that’s good to know!

[@leviram4089]

So does the final sample include the loop regions?

[@DavidHilowitzMusic]

yes!

[@leviram4089]

@@DavidHilowitzMusic amazing! So would you recommend using this instead of crossfade for finding loop regions? Or is it not reliable enough?

[@Robert-kx8mp]

@@DavidHilowitzMusic thanks for the interesting lesson, does Kontakt set the loop count to 3 on your imported instruments? and do the loops sound okay? I can import the ESX directly into Kontakt 5, but I get a loop count of 3 on all my samples, and the looping sounds bad, I'm not sure I want to get into trying to make them sound good. I can open the same ESX in Ableton and the looping is very smooth, fwiw Ableton doesn't really support round robin. EDIT: on second look, the Ableton looping isn't much better, it was being masked by the fact that Ableton was looping all 3 round-robin samples at the same time

[@DavidHilowitzMusic]

@@Robert-kx8mp I haven't tried importing the EXS files directly into Kontakt. I didn't even know that Kontakt 5 could read those files. (You learn something every day.) I wonder why it's not pulling the right number of loops. Maybe it's pulling in loop points for all three round robins and applying them to a single sample? Very odd.

[@lahattec]

@@DavidHilowitzMusic As I recall, earlier Kontakt 5, or earlier than that) could read exs files. To do it with a later Kontakt 5 you have to use an older dll file. See post #17 here, but there are similar posts elsewhere if you Google it... www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/loading-exs-instruments-broken-solution-provided.325128/

[@AndyNicholson]

Nice! Anybody if anythign similar exists in for Windows, or maybe a VST

[@AndyNicholson]

Just did a quick search, apparently Samplerobot and Samplit are both worth exploring

[@DavidHilowitzMusic]

@@fabianbucher Ah, can that do auto-sampling?

[@fabianbucher]

@@DavidHilowitzMusic yes but it's kinda quirky to use. best try the demo, I think you can do pretty much everything but save your samples. there's a quick tutorial here as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3vHpWaBa8x_j9U

[@fabianbucher]

Didn't know about autosampler in Mainstage. I'll have to check it out. I've been using discoDSP Bliss for resampling which works pretty good in my opinion. www.discodsp.com/bliss/

[@Kevin-ie7vi]

David I found this after researching ESX to Kontakt conversion. I'll let you know after I try it : vi-control.net/community/threads/importing-exs-into-kontakt-a-fix.75187/

[@Kevin-ie7vi]

This actually worked !!!!! As always David Thank you very much. Your work is inspirational

[@proteus1]

Be better if your screen recorder was recording at 1440 or 2k. My eyes arn't that good to see.

[@howdoworld]

Most Daw's on windows /mac that have samplers can read read exs24 files even freeware ones like tx16wx www.tx16wx.com/ So possibly you could just make the Exs24 samples/ file available along with your excellent free downloads ✌ great vids by the way
