Surge doesn't use samples... It uses wavetable synthesis (sweepable wavetables, like the PPG kind), FM, and VA synthesis...

I just had a play round with this thing. I am so using this as my drum sampler from now on, as well as a host for my soundfonts!

Damn damn damn damn!!

One thing I like a lot with sc1/sc2 is just to use the onboard oscillators in the filter section to do some synth sounds. I load a silent wavefile that I loop.

Huh? There is.

There is xfade in SC2.

Explain please. I'll try again.

BTW those are still some nice tunes Jens.

OMG

It's so much more excellent than I thought. Almost perfect SFZ and SF2 support too huh? Wow this is great stuff. I was creating shortcuts in the wrong place.

And xfade works between two sample zones

Thanks Jens.

Claes already mentioned that there's going to be a donate-link at the Vemberaudio page, but I think what would really benefit Shortcircuit would be the 'pay what you want'-model. I rarely donate to freeware developers because I never remember to do it (and sometimes it's a real hassle) but when I have to consider it for a second when making the download, the chances that it will be a non-zero donation are really high. If it was a slick and effortless system (and didn't require, say, a paypal account), I'm sure Vemberaudio would get a much bigger cash flow from Shortcircuits that with just a donate-button.

After all, I did pay £2 for the Radiohead (and would have paid more if the bitrate was higher and/or I didn't consider it mostly a cheap marketing gimmick and an extra way of milking their fans) - if Shortcircuit was developed further I'm sure I'd pay a substantial price for it even if I could choose 0€. (Right now its usefulness is frustratingly limited to me as a Kontakt 3 owner, but SC2 wouldn't need much to fill in Kontakts gaps very nicely.) If Shortcircuit had the possibility to sample and do FM I'd certainly pay >50€ for it.

Basically I'm just thinking of ways to keep Shortcircuit alive because it would be a big shame if the development stopped...

How do I load samples...

I have put some stereo wave files into the samples folder but they are not showing in the browser when opened in cubase?

1411kbps
16bit
44khz
PCM format

Help please

Sorted - samples needed to be in folders

Unfortunately I found SC1 was causing SFZ files to end very abruptly - noticeably different from rgc's sfz player.

Grr i haven't found how to load kits in SC2 : the browser only seems to display audio files (and no kits), and there is no "load" button...

Sample-Crossfade?? I dont mean zone/velocity-crossfading...

It was unbelievable cool, that in SC1 you could just load up one WAV and have it loop perfectly

Yeah, no luck loading soundfonts in SC2

. I love the interface though.

Shortcircuit now freeware.
