Not sure if I'm just being dense but...

If I create a new instance of Sampla in a rack slot I don't see anywhere in the sampla gui to select a sample! -- If I choose "add a sample" from the tools menu and select an audio file Mulab creates a new rack with sampla in it and it plays the selected sample but I cant see anywhere in the Sampla Gui any indication of which sample is being played. Am I missing something?

G5 OS 10.4.9

Click the title bar of the 'Sampler' section. It contains a little arrow indicating you can click on it to 'jump to' / 'open up' the target.

By the way, what do you guys think of the names 'Synthia', 'Sampla' and 'MultiSampla'.

Is it

, or is it

?

I think those names are ok. To me they are a bit more Euro-centric and "fun", less "corporate" than other products.

I don't expect too many people considering Mu.Lab would be put off by this.

I was hesitant to say something at first, but...

Synthia is alright.

Sampla and MultiSampla however are...well...I think they're horrible names.

I love Synthia! It's a perfect pun, you should keep it.

Funnily enough, I was thinking about the names a little on the weekend and came up with "Samplona" (Pamplona) - another pun.

What if we could find another city pun to replace Synthia and one for Multisampla? Though it would be a shame about Synthia!

I'm with toxicoh - eurocentric and individual is good...

You could also tap into Flamsk a little!
Software with cool Dutch names would be a real novelty i.e. attention-getter! I personally don't know of any yet.

...this does sound like a cool idea to me!

I popped in recently to check out how things are going and I reckon Synthia is cool as....!

I don't know about the other two names, but Jo you are really putting in the nice stuff now.

Actually was pretty impressive before already.

What is this Sampla/synthia thing? Have I missed something? where are these plugs?

The only one I'm not keen on is "MultiSampla"... It sounds like it's trying a bit too hard as a name...

Though I guess that means Sampla would need changing, too.
