An application to import samples into a storage card!

[grek]

Thanks for the announcement in the newsletter Artemio, it was a nice surprise to me!

If you want to distribute the program from this site you are very welcome to do so

Henrik, you are doing a great work and I've always aimed at telling people about great things.

Also, I plan creating a "software" downloads page which will contain your program (by the way, is there a short name for ie?) and other related software (like my "eXStract").

Good luck!


Artemio.

Grek... thanks for the code. I will go over it on the weekend.

How about "F-Xsample" as the name?

--------------------
Remember that there are only 3 MFX + 1 Reverb + 1 Chorus in Fantom-S/X and you have to share them across 16 parts (patches) in a song.

F-Xsample is better name, I am not really happy with FXSampleTool. Thanks!

In the next few days I will start to improve the software, the first thing that I will add is probably to allow multiple selection of samples to import...

BTW, sorry for the lack of comments in my code, but I hope it is not too hard to understand..

Grek, does your software produce samples for FX series only, or they are compatible with FS too? I mean, are there any differences between the wav headers in FS and FX series?

If there are no difference, I suggest you name your tool so that there are FS and FX in the name. Like my tool: eXStract - it is meant for S and X manchines.

So, what about "FS/X Wave Converter"?

[grek]

Artemio - I have no idea if the converted samples also are compatible with the FS series, someone has to test it and tell me about the outcome.

I have to consider the name FS/X Wave Converter if the program also works with FS. Anyone else that wants to suggest a new name? Then we can vote on this site about what the new name will be!

I finally got a chance to try this neat software, I like it very much, I felt the least I can do is say thanks.

I was hoping to be able to import severale waves at a time instead of just one. I know you mentioned that you're working on it.

Thanks

I am happy to hear that you like my software. I will probably have the time to implement the multi-selection feature during this weekend...

FINALLY! A new beta version of the sample tool is now available! New features:

* New file/storage mode concept.
* Multiple selection of samples allowed in source directory.
* Sample renaming using prefix/postfix.
* Directory paths stored in registry.
* New Delete button to delete samples.
* Edit dialog updated with "keep" option, to allow setting same Bmp and original key on several samples.
* New Play button to play samples.

Download it from my homepage:

By using your software, I was able to load my card with a bunch of Acidized WAV. files and started using them in the Fantom X right away. Great work!

[TIK777]

This is a man who cares more about you than the people that made money off of the Fantom X!!!

I appreciate your labor!
Its folks like you that make the day better

Oh, thanks for all your nice comments!

I currently working on a new version with multisample support, so far it is going quite well...

Anyway, if McTinus reads this (or anyone else interested) here is how multisamples seems to be stored in the fans.svd file:

Starting on byte position 811960:
Each multisample is stored into 779 bytes in this way:

0 - 10 = Multisample name, 11 BYTE = 12 chars 7bit encoded.
11 = 0x00
12 = 0x03 (3=Storage card?)
13-14 Sample No
15 = 0x00 ??
16 = 0x00 ??
11 - 16 repeated 128 times specifying which sample used for which key.
