Re: Improvements in sampler module
I see your point in this, however renoise screwed themselves by making the DAW information held in RAM instead of DFD. You get a smattering of multi-velocity 24-bit XRNI instruments loaded up & all of a sudden ur at 2 gigs of RAM being used!! Defeats the purpose of using a tracker, in my book.
As to SunVox it would ne NICE if it could at least import a soundfont instrument & map it correctly, even if it was single-layer. XI instruments are somewhat low quality. I've had many great sounds in SF2 when converted to XI & previewing I just say "WTF Happened? It doesn't even sound near as good as the soundfont!".

Unless NightRadio is planning to add SF2 import to SunVox itself, I will try to create a SF2 to MetaModule converter for Solar Sails MMCK in the next month or two. (Solar Sails is a desktop companion app for SunVox that I've been building, and MMCK is the MetaModule Construction Kit portion of it)WaxingAndWaning wrote:As to SunVox it would ne NICE if it could at least import a soundfont instrument & map it correctly, even if it was single-layer.

SunVox can handle some pretty complex routing, and has support for 32-bit float samples, so I'm sure we can figure something out that sounds great.

Wow, that sounds great friend! I just got back into Sunvox after a vacation (last version I used was 1.8.1) Looks like it's grown up a bit, some nice additions & some of the demo tunes sound pretty killer. SunVox has great sounding generator modules for that 'digital' sound but the sampler sure needs attention.
Last night I did an experiment & took a single velocity SF2 & converted to XI Then loaded up into Sunvox. Then I took the very same SF2 & loaded it into Caustic. Caustic sounded good (not Great) but SunVox sounded horrible. It's a rough one when you want to use organic sounds in SunVox.
So Bravo & thanks for your time & trouble on that project. SunVox is superb for the digital sound, if we can just get decent organic sounds from a sampler format then it would be the best.
