Naming the files serially instead of detecting pitch is a good idea. It wouldn't have worked well for my initial project (Rhodes) because I didn't sample completely evenly (skipping funky notes and sampling more in certain areas.)
Oh, another thing the chopper does is it ignores any samples that are shorter than a given length. That way I was able to hit a key, see if it hit my target peak level, drop it immediately if I failed, and just try again. That was a huge time saver.
Good enough settings to make sample library ?

Grid-Slicing is indeed a good Idea (to be honest not mine), but it does only (really) work in an automatized Environment.JeffLearman wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 12:27 pm Naming the files serially instead of detecting pitch is a good idea.

Create a Midi Track, xNotes per Octaves -1 to +7, each 1 Bar long + 1 Bar Distance between the Notes, adjust the Project Tempo to determine the Sample length, "export as Audio" and create x*Octaves Slices of equal Length afterwards (File Lenth / x * Ocatves), cut the Silence, Mapping, export Audio Files with Rootkey+Rootkey Number in the Filename.
A well thought and appoved Workflow - but quiet annoying with a While, even if it´s already automatized
What you describe above sounds quiet professional to me. You didn´t do that just to sample one Rhodes Piano, didn´t you?
And have you ever tried Cubase´s Slicing? It seems that your Script is working on a higher Level than Steinbergs!

Yeah, I did it just to sample my Rhodes, back in say 2006. But I've used it a lot since then to make samples of my digital pianos so I can use the sounds in a DAW without the keyboard present. I haven't used any other tools. And I forgot about this stuff -- hopefully I'll get to it sometime this week.
