Random Sampler 2.5 Update
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2021 2:42 pm
Hello! I have just published an update to JK's Random Sampler. Details outlined below, also viewable as part of the store page description. Any issues or requests or anything, don't hesitate to post here, on the Facebook group, or email me.
Version 2.5
new right-click drop-down menu for sample window:
- copy sample list to clipboard
- paste sample list from clipboard (appends to end of existing list assuming there is room)
- note that this also works between separate instances of the sampler module
- also note that this only works with for valid path names, internal audio data is not copy/pasted
- save mode option (data vs path) moved to this menu
- quick reference: a message box showing all valid mouse and key combinations for sample manipulation
- file info: shows a message box with basic information for the selected sample
changes to old left-click and right-click behavior to accommodate the new dropdown menu (again, also available in right click menu's quick reference)
left click:
- load new file from chooser (or replace bad path file - see below)
- CTRL: load next sample in folder
- CTRL + SHIFT: load previous sample in folder
- ALT: load random sample from last used folder
- ALT +SHIFT: load random sample from selected sample's folder
right click:
- drop-down menu
- CTRL: delete selected sample/path
- CTRL + SHIFT: delete all
- ALT: preview selected sample (temporarily overrides normal playback - wait until end of file or click again to stop preview)
sample path display updates:
In 'data mode,' invalid path names are now preceded by an asterisk as a reminder. Remember, the data is stored internally, so the sample will still play as normal, but none of the path-based functionality (load next, load random, etc) will work.
In 'path mode,' invalid paths are preceded by '???' to indicate that the path is invalid and nothing will play, but the path name will be held for your convenience until replaced or deleted (note that if left, these essentially empty slots can still be triggered, but will naturally result in silence)
Sample/path replacement: While normally a left-click brings up a file chooser to add a sample to the list, if the highlighted sample's path is invalid, this will instead bring up a chooser allowing the user to REPLACE the current sample/path with one chosen from the file system (note that the current path name will be displayed in the file chooser title as a potentially helpful reminder).
adjustable attack and release with actual (limited) polyphony!
top left declick button is now an attack envelope (fade in) knob ranging from 0 to 500 ms
top right delclick button is now a release envelope (fade out) knob ranging from 0 to 500 ms
previous versions used a hacky method of declicking sudden level changes on a retrigger, but now we have actual internal 8 voice polyphony for some nice smooth fades between triggered sounds
