I have a bunch of samples that I would like to convert to multisample files. I recently stumbled on the post above but after some experimentation, it looks like Bitwig doesn't recognize the file when it is compressed 7zip.ThomasHelzle wrote:The Bitwig Multisample Format is a zip file that can be opened for instance with 7zip and includes a xml file with the definitions so it's easy to create a converter if you or anybody else wants to.
These were the steps in my experiment:
1) I extracted the contents of a working Bitwig multisample file using 7zip.
2) I compressed the same contents (xml and Wav files) but changed the file extension to .multisample
3) I dragged it to Sampler but Sampler ignored it.
Any idea why 7zip can open a multisample file but cannot create one?
