Hello all, I love this sampler, looks like a great way to replace NNXT in Reason, here are my questions (maybe a few more to come as I play with it more)...

1) Is there a way to Find Pitch Root of more than 1 sample at a time?
2) Is there a way to browse the samples using the up / down keys instead of clicking with the mouse? If not, can this please be added, would be really handy?
3) Is there a way to reset knobs to their original value (Ctrl+Click / Dbl Click) doesn't work, why is this?
4) How can I test importing my NNXT patches in the demo version? I can provide some for anyone to test if they can, but I would be counting on this to make my transition seamless
5) Is there a way to group zones together? e.g. say if you have a piano recorded FF, MF and P, you have 3 groups with each of the samples?
6) What are the current known issues / bugs? Looking at a few posts, it seems that DW is quite buggy with lots of upset users

No.

I'll consider this for a future update.
3) Is there a way to reset knobs to their original value (Ctrl+Click / Dbl Click) doesn't work, why is this?
No, but this is planned to change.
4) How can I test importing my NNXT patches in the demo version? I can provide some for anyone to test if they can, but I would be counting on this to make my transition seamless
This is unfortunately not possible.
5) Is there a way to group zones together? e.g. say if you have a piano recorded FF, MF and P, you have 3 groups with each of the samples?
I'm not sure what you want to accomplish. Could you elaborate a bit?
6) What are the current known issues / bugs? Looking at a few posts, it seems that DW is quite buggy with lots of upset users
At the moment there are no confirmed bugs. There's one report that EXS24 banks sometimes fail to load, which I have to investigate.

If you know of any bugs/bug reports, feel free to let me know and I'll take a look.

Hello and thanks for the response, it is a bit of a deal breaker that I can't test import of my samples since this is the main thing that will help me migrate to DW.

The grouping feature is found on several samplers including the NNXT where particular samples may be grouped together and tweaked as a group.

I think that DW is a great sampler personally, it is the most similar to NNXT which is my favorite sampler outside VST land, but I'm quite worried that my sample library won't import. Have you guys tested import of NNXT patches? Does it import everything including loop points?

Our import library was written by ChickenSys and has been tested by them. Personally I don't have any NN-XT banks here, unfortunately.

For what it's worth, I've never seen any bug reports related to NN-XT import.
