Open question: Formats?

[endmusik]

OK - now that the dust has settled from the launch, I'm getting to work not only on the next product, but extending what formats the TMK001 library is available in, and what other formats I will hopefully include as options in future launches.

I am currently working on versions of the TMK001 Polyphonic Wretch Machine library for:

1. Ableton Live, including Racks setups

2. Reason NNXT, including Combinator patches

3. Logic EXS, including channel strip presets

What's everyone's opinion? Would love feedback on whether you'd be interested in any of these formats, as well as other features that I can build into each specific sample set. I've got plans, but as with all plans, there's always room for more

shit yeah for live racks and EXS!

Any possibility of doing one for digidesign structure as well?

Any possibility of doing one for digidesign structure as well?

Technically, yes - and I'll tell you why: my primary sampling utility has the option of exporting sample sets out in multiple formats, of which Structure is one.

The thing is, all other formats I can actually load into the native environment and not only check that they work, but also build out patches and additional settings (Racks in Live, Combinator patches in Reason, Channel strips in Logic). As I have no Digi software/hardware in my studio, I can't do that.

If I could identify someone who would be willing to take the raw, un-tailored exported content and test it, I would be able to put it up, but in that scenario I wouldn't be able to build out a fully developed product for Structure. It would basically be a mapped sample set with no bells, no whistles, no nothing, just the base patches by their lonesome.

sfz please please please

sfz please please please

if you can point me to a tool for authoring on the Mac then I'll do it up

What he said!

Live Racks would be most welcome. I can probably test the Structure stuff for you & compare it to the Kontakt version.

[zerosum]

NNXT yes please (most interested in)

EXS yes please (still haven't upgraded logic, but it will happen someday)

Technically, yes - and I'll tell you why: my primary sampling utility has the option of exporting sample sets out in multiple formats, of which Structure is one.

If you need help I can help you out with digi(now officially AVID with all digi names dropped) stuff, I am a self labeled pro tools dork.

Eric who? You may have me confused with someone else

So here's the plan:

Current: Kontakt 3.5 with custom scripting, base patches covering several different combinations of layers, plus 25 presets with additonal Kontakt tweaking

Upcoming:

1. Reason NNXT - Base patches covering several combinations of layers, as well as 25 Combinator patches using the base patches plus additonal modules to show some potential uses

2. Ableton Live Sampler - Base patches covering several combinations of layers, as well as 25 Live Racks using Live effects/etc to show some potential uses

3. Logic EXS - Base patches covering several combinations of layers, as well as 25 Channel Strips using Logic's built in effects to show some potential uses

4. ProTools Sculpture - Base patches covering several combinations of layers, any presets outside of the raw setups will be at the grace of some gracious beta testers

Does that sound good to everyone?

I'd love to do SFZ, but unfortunately research is proving fruitless on developing for that format on a Mac. I suppose someday I'll need to get a PC for additonal testing in-house, in the meantime I'll keep an eye out for updates on potential SFZ authoring tools

Another quick note on all of this: the Kontakt version was developed in a very specific way due to the scripting that was done by my compatriot Brian Cass of Overclock, inc. - the additional formats are going to be a different set, with the only similarity being the raw samples utilized.

another quick note - if anyone notices any Chicken Tikka Masala on the Reason patches, I apologize - working through dinner
