Voices of Instanbul -- mapping sample loop to specific notes

[idragosani]

I'm a little confused about importing samples... I have the 'Voices of Instanbul' CD I am trying to import into ST2.1 XL (I got the WAV version of the CD).

I have, for instance, a set of samples of percussive loops (6 samples in one directory) that I want to map to specific notes, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4 and A5. However, importing them into ST always spreads them across a range to fill up the entire keyboard, and I don't want this! I can't find any documentation on how to map a specific sample to a specific note, or, after importing, to re-edit the zone to accomplish this. The range controls don't seem to be doing what I want.

To do that you need to essentially map them before you import by putting the note you want it on at the beginning of the name of the wave. Then put them all into one folder (the ones you want in one map) and then import the whole folder. That should get you as close as ST gets for custom mapping. It is not as flexible as a sampler but it'll do the trick!

Putting it at the beginning didn't work (just made one big zone and no notes would play)... adding at the end (like in the ST manual) creates the full range of notes in between the notes I specified... I guess I can live with that

Another option is to map it in another sampler and then convert it to ST using one of the various conversion tools out there like Translator. But, if you can live with the limited mapping abilities then sometimes that's enough.

Alas, I have no other samplers... I guess I will have to get one, but this will entail, of course, not spending money at esoundz...
