Hi all,

I'm road testing DW now and it seems the demo will not allow me to import a wave file. Bit hard to test the sampler without this feature.


Anyway, I have 2 questions I hope some1 can help with:


1: I don't see how I can Audition/preview a wave file without importing it to DW. I would like to audition it on the keyboard first. Is this possible?



2: Is it possible to "Replace sample" while in playback but also audition/preview "In context" (Meaning any new sample will be auditioned with the original sample paramters, like LFO, pitch etc)


Thanks in advance for any help...

Hi !

You should ask this questions on the Image-Line forums (because Directwave is an Image-Line project since 2006). Here is a link to their forums :

Like Zaf said, you should ask at IL. However, the answer is no. I have made this same case to Image-Line a couple times. How can you test a sampler if you can't even load samples? I guess they don't want to sell it too bad.

I have to register to POST on that forum. I have tried, so I'm in Limbo...


Do you guys know about the questions above^^

Previewing samples? Is it possible? (Thanks for your reply)

Last time I took a look at DW was version 1.25. And I agree that there was no preview mode (in that version at least), and "zone" parameters are overwritten/reset when loading a new sample. You definitely should post that comment and request on Image-Line forums. Registration to their forum is free.

Maybe this has changed recently.... Just checked again

You may be spot on with your earlier remark. They sure do look like they don't care about getting any new commers...


Anyway if there is no "PREVIEW/AUDITION" its a no go. I can't believe why Samplers don't include such an essentail feature these days.

Oh I see. Pity. Anyway, I can do nothing about that matter here, unfortunately...

Yes, I think you can only play back existing samples with the demo.

As far as I recall yes.

[I use DW and really like it.]
