Free VSTi Sampler : TX16Wx 0.9beta *update 11*

[sinkmusic]

very promising:)
drag & drop samples from DAWs browser would be nice

+1 !
Some rex/slicing features could be great, too

[Jonathan Shepherd]

Thanks very much man! Good to see another sampler enter the field...Short Circuit is awesome, as are others, but new ones don't come along too often. Will test tonight, good day-----

[Grenoybel]

Loop Start and Loop end Modulation would be heaven

[CoolColJ]

Nice, will check it out
I'm always looking for a soft sampler that can compete for hardrware ones for filtering quality and character

What sort of pitch shift quality does it have?

[dalor]

Looks very promising! Love the open format, kudos for that!
Questions: Is it Synthedit (causes trouble on my system)? Plans for x64?

[Z3R0T0N1N]

Wicked! The TX16W was our workhorse back in the Atari days
this has some amzing stuff... wow, it's a real sampler!!

Thanks for this, I look forward to trying it out!

this is SO cool...loving it. thanks a lot for this. it might become my main sampler

lots of crashes and annoyances, though.

some issues that i can remember from last night testing:

if i play a note, hold it and then change the filter cutoff the changes are only heard when i play the next note. (maybe a feature ...maybe a bug ?)

if i double click a knob value to enter it with the keyboard, things dont work as expected. i insert 1 ms and it shows 0. if i insert 2 ms it show 0 again. if i insert 3ms it will show the value correctly.

the lfos are working in a strange way. the POS knob should change the start phase of the lfo when in tempo sync mode but it has absolutely no effect. when i press play on my sequencer the modulation always starts in the same lfo position\phase even though i change the POS value. or maybe am i not understanding the way it should work !?

I second this motion! And third and fourth it.

Just an update for the interested parties. I've taken the suggestions and bug reports to heart, and an update is forthcoming. First iteration will bring drag&drop of files + fixes for some (most?) of the reported bugs. After this I'll look into loop point modulation and group indicators for incoming notes.

Thanks for the feedback people. Keep it coming.

Good work !! Thanks a lot for share it !!

just some wichs...
- add many mod destinations (drive for exemple)
- the ability to change a bit-depth and sample-rate
- LFO rate can be dotted
- a quick start guide
- Group sound controls more clear

for the bugs...
In Keyboard Mapping, when I change Program (in top-left), the sound controls knobs is not active, normal because no group are select. Then when I click on the group, the sound controls knobs go to good value except the first row (volume, attack, decay1... and LFO1 too). The "display value" is good but led not ?? If I click on knob, the led go to same value as "display value" (perfect).

I hope I was clear because I speak a bad english

I haven't really gotten around to using this yet but I was reading through the PDF and I was just wondering if there's support for velocity layered samples? I've got a drumkit that was recorded with seven different velocity layers on the kick, snare, toms, etc. and I'd like to try importing it. Is velocity layering already present or is this something that'll be added later? BTW thanks for this and I'm looking forward to trying it out when I have the time.

Hi, take a look here.

but a great plugin. I really like.

ups. to late

I actually have the real hardware in my basement. I even considered making the UI an exact copy from photos of my own unit (complete with scratches and dents). But I wanted a graphical UI.
Still, my first and best HW sampler.

Is the real machine a good sampler?
I have seen them on ebay a few times and have often wondered if it would be good to pick one up-I love old grainy sounding samplers.
This software looks really good.

If you can live with 12 bit sound and only 1.5mb of RAM ... then go for it.

You'd be better off looking for a Yamaha A5000/A4000 imho. They go for next to nothing on ebay. I have an A3000 which is also great except for the dodgy rotary's.

Thanks,
I love old 12 bit samplers and 8 bit ones too-I have even got an old korg dss1 which is more like an analogue synth than a sampler,but it does sample and sounds great.
I may scope an old Yamaha out and have a play.
Cheers,
Steve.

Great. Keep plugging away at it!
