Not having this is what made a lot of work for me on the hw version and would be awesome!
BTW speaking of HW:

Still runs like a charm

!

Anyway is there a chance for auto loop detection?

Well, in truth the algorithms for beat detection are fairly easy. The hard part is integrating it into the UI really.

On that note, I've been trying to build REX support, but with the format being non-public (damn you all unpublic formats!) it's not going that well. I am aware that the REX library is licensable, however I would conclude that I do not fulfill the requirements, being neither a music company nor making commercial products. I fear that REX might be out of my reach for the moment.

Easy enough to reverse engineer the slices and other meta-data of an RX2 file. The audio encoding itself still eludes me though. Some suggested it to be DWVW compression (same as typhoon waves), but in that case its a modified version of the algorithm...

Are you interested in working with me to get the license?

A license like the REX license tends to be non-transferable and non-sharable across organizations, so I am not quite sure what you are suggesting?

Wow! Some suggested that simple disk-streaming has no place in this type of sampler, which is merely another way of playing samples. I don't understand the theatrics about it!

Now, we seem to be at a point of talking about reverse engineering and licensing a file format. Yeah... I guess streaming is going a bit far for something that was supposed to be simple!

I'm still quite intent on keeping the instrument simple and focused on what I myself want in a sampler. The REX license is free, just restricted, so not a biggie there. And file, formats: still no biggie.
Slicing: on the fence really.
Streaming: not very likely!

But we'll see where it takes us. I'm adding crossfade looping and some other features now. Stay tuned.

If you head over to the Renoise forum, somebody has already reverse engineered the RX2 format, It will be in the extensions forum and is open source too i believe

My search skills fail me. Cannot find (as yet anyway). You wouldn't have a link would you?

I'm suggesting we team up to get it added to your sampler. I get that it can't be shared across organizations, would you be opposed to creating a single organization together with me?

Soundfonts load as performances. Either use "Load Performance" from the performance selector right-click menu, or simply drag&drop the soundfont into the performance selector (first screen, top text field).

The soundfont import is a bit crude in that it does not really translate most sound parameters (modulation) yet. It does create fairly good sample mappings etc though.

Not until someone donates a Mac to me!

I miss the slicing option on my old A3000. It produced some cool drum loops ...
