I am totally calm daddy . It's just when you said:thecontrolcentre wrote:Calm down kid. "all that about needing two samples pr. octave" was to create a "realistic" sounding instrument, which is what you said you wanted to create. You yourself said you planned to use envelopes to finish off the different time-stretched samples. I therefore presumed you understood how envelopes work. Many people have offered almost exactly the same advice and you've refused to listen to them ...
and thenOne sample is enough if you use an envelope ... tweak the envelope until the sample sounds ok in the keyzone
I do appreciate that you take the time to answer. But the above statement was confusing for me at least considering that you first stated that at least 2 samples for each octave was needed to get the instrument to sound realistic and afterwards that this wasn't needed if using an envelope. I know how envelope works I just haven't got much experience with it. That was why I reasoned that one had to stretch the samples and pitch shift them and then fine adjust with envelopes.You are really over complicating things.
I don't refuse to listen. I'm asking for an explanation. To me your statement sounded contradictory - and then you state "that I'm overcomplicating things". But that statement only made my overcomplicated state of mind worse .
My intentions were not to offend you. You just have to understand the confusion from the "kid's" perspective. It isn't that obvious for a beginner.
