Short story:
I have a bunch of wav files with percussion samples, the samples in them are separated by a short bit of (ms) of silence. The samples are not evenly spaced like on beats. Is there software tools that can split these into separate waves? Like based on transience - every new hit gets a separate wav file?

Long story:
I have a ddrum4 brain. It only has 8megs for memory. I'd like to split out the ddrum samples and use the brain to trigger a software sampler, like gigastudio.
You can find the ddrum samples here: http://www.ddrum.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... highlight=
(Eventually Armadillo will have the official site up again)

Included on the CD is a "ddrumtool". Ddrumtool will read the custom ddrum.mid files and let you audition the samples. I can loop these back and record these (directwire) but then I have wav files with multple samples in each separated by sample length. I'd like to separate out each sample into it's own wave file to load into gigastudio. Separating by transience would seem ideal.

What tools work best for something like this?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks! Waveknife works the best so far. Still leaves a lot of manual steps but luckily it's a one time thing.
thanks,

Is it still 16 bit?

Do you mean does it only handle 16-bit wav files? Im not sure.

The latest version is March 2006, though.

Oh bugger. Damnable non-UK date formats; they just dont translate when using beer. Grrr.

Question: How to split samples out of a wav file?
