I was hoping it would be that easy...that would be awesomE!Ashe37 wrote:kushwonder wrote:...let me clarify...how do you know what note the "original samples" are so that you can scale it correctly on a keyboard?Ashe37 wrote:they weren't sampled 'from' a Fairlight, they are the original samples on floppy.

I've been assuming they were middle C
thank you for the info! ...I figured that is what I would have to end up doing, but was secretly hoping it was going to be uber easy like all the samples were middle C or somthinmadtheory wrote:
these are the samples as they are stored on the disk, but without any indication of the original sample rate or pitch (because we only have the PCM data, not the "metadata", so to speak, that is in the rest of the VC file). You'll need to have a reference- I usually use a piano because that's what I'm used to. Switch between the piano sound and the sampler so you can compare. Then position the sample on the sampler's keyboard til it's roughly in tune, then tweak the pitch in cents.
...I have not had anytime to play around with these samples yet, so thought I would save some time by asking.Or if any of you enlightened sampling people use Keymap, import the sample, hit the "Remap -> pitch detection" key command, and have the samples instantly mapped to the correct pitches automagically...madtheory wrote:Ever tune a guitar?
What's "up" is that these are the samples as they are stored on the disk, but without any indication of the original sample rate or pitch (because we only have the PCM data, not the "metadata", so to speak, that is in the rest of the VC file).

Technology is no substitute for old fashioned musical skills...
I think it's unlikely - I think Apple bought Redmatica to get Andrea and his intellectual property and audio coding genius - the assets are a necessary part of the deal but not the main reason for it, imo.madtheory wrote:I'm hoping the next Logic update incorporates the ENTIRE Redmadica suite, I'm a big fan.
Same to you madtheory!madtheory wrote:Very cool! Thank you very much, glad I could help. But you've done so much work! I never got around to converting every disk so this is really great. Happy new year!
It's strange, for some reason I thought you had converted it all. I was gonna ask you for the "good" library, but thought that it could be fun to check out CMIOS9 myself. Btw. this was no work at all compared to the horror 2 years ago. All those hours I could have made music instead..

Sorry. It's like that with free services. Sorry. It's like that with free services.[/quote]
