Fair enough. Thanks man.parawave wrote:A downloadable PDF manual is in development. Please don't forget, Rapid has a lot of meaningful tooltips for every knob. The stuff that is not explained in them is mostly in the user guide or too obvious for explanation.

Great news! I have Virus TI wavetables in Serum format and I'd love to use them in Rapid.parawave wrote:Yes, you can just drop existing Serum tables with a framesize of 2048 samples and use them with directly with Rapid.
You may think you can fly ... but you better not try

Wavetabe, multi-sample and Resynthesis import ! You can drag multiple files, .wav, .aif and then choose your import method. It's also possible to directly drop files into the oscillator display.
When creating multi-samples, the mapper detects and automatically lays out all samples from the embedded root key information, or the key within a filename. Velocity layer and round robin samples are also supported.

Wavetable-Import Tutorial with the new RAPID update. It is in German but I think, everyone will understand, what happens.

NEW RAPID Update - Version 1.1.0
The wait is finally over.
RAPID adds supports for custom user libraries. It's now possible to simply and quickly import own sound material via drag & drop or file chooser. Supported input formats are WAV RIFF and Apple AIFF at various channel, sample-rate and bit-depth configurations.
User Libraries
It's now possible to create, manage, archive and install custom sound libraries. The imported sound content can be named and sorted into user-defined categories. Additional metadata can be specified in a new information tab. Easy versioning and sharing with other users is encouraged by an easy to use publish feature, which quickly bundles a library in a self-contained ZIP archive, install-able via a new Library > Add... feature.
Wavetables
Addable are single- or multi-cylce wavetables with constant frame sizes (e.g. 2048 samples *cough* Serum). Internal re-sampling and stretching loads and plays all waveforms without aliasing. An optional "de-click frame" feature reduces unwanted buzz noises if realistic non-wavetable content is loaded. It's now an easy thing to import real instruments at e.g. C4 and re-sample it into a high quality RAPID wavetable.
Multi-Samples
Convert and load single- or multi-samples with different velocities and round robin. An automatic note detection recognizes the embedded MIDI unity note information, or identifies a note token within the filename and assigns the samples to the key map. The content is compressed and optimized for load times. For example, an uncompressed piano multi-sample with a filesize of 197MB only uses ~50MB after import.
Resynthesis
A special resynthesis algorithm allows the creation of new exciting synthetic textures by manipulating the spectral content of any source sample. This method pre-renders and compresses the re-synthesized material at different pitches into a multi-sample. A new source of inspiration and a creative tool for all new-kinds of sound design techniques.
Here is a complete list of changes.

So. What do you think? If you're a RAPID user and already tested the Resynthesis feature, I'm very interested in the stuff you create with it. Suggestions are welcome, the whole importer stuff could be further enhanced with new methods. SoundCloud links to weird pads are encouraged ;)Additions:Changes:
- New source browser design.
- Support for user content libraries.
- Wavetable import (incl. resampling to table root frequency).
- Sample import (incl. loop points, at any input samplerate).
- Sample Resynthesis. Converts the spectral content of an input sample into a multi-sample.
- Drag & Drop sound files onto oscillator displays to quickly import new content.
- Auto map multiple input samples to the whole keyboard range.
- Import formats (RIFF WAV, AIFF).
- Sortable and renamable source browser categories and entries.
Fixes:
- Separate Wavetable & Multi-Sample tabs.
- Remove modulation option in context menu now shows all routings of a control.
Optimizations:
- Tooltips typos.
- Default VST program name, needed for some VST hosts/wrappers.
- Increased loop wrap accuracy.
- Left and right channel was swapped during resampling.
- Sample playback preview now shows the actual waveform when oscillator keytrack is turned off.
Removed:
- Reduced Wavetable load times.
- Reduced Multi-Sampler load times.
- Faster drawing for source browser entries.
- Removed some runtime allocations.
- Reduced preset parser load times.
- Multisample pre-render Quality option. There was no real improvement on high setting.

Question, after I download, will I have to re-enter the serial number?
