All you had to do was look two posts above :lol: :lol:
and all you had to do was looking five posts above and you would have noticed that 'sample-catalog' had already been mentioned :P

And only 5 posts later somebody mentioned sample-catalog as well. :D

So, I think I was right then about there being a few being used, such as:

Sample Catalog
SampleCatalog
Sample Catalogue
YetAnotherBloodySampleCatalogLink.html

With such a vast variety of choices, now I'm just confused as to which one I should try first!

Well, thanks :lol:

edit: sorry, I forgot sample-catalog

later

If I remember correctly someone used Apple's iTunes for this. You can do searches against filenames, create libraries and open files in explorer with a mouse button or two. (Of course it can do searches against id3-tags in mp3s, but storing data in lossy format for a sample library doesn't sound the optimal solution)

Searching filenames sounds a splendid idea. Sadly I have a bad habit naming files mysteriosly like "ufbdpre 1 v.wav"...

I don't how iTunes handles different bit depths and rates. I think I once tried playing 24/96 wav but can't remember what happened, sorry.

Screw it all, I'll record them each to induvidual 2-track tape and sort them by smell.

Unfortunately, knowing how much junk is in my current samples folders, I think I'll be smelling a lot of shit.

Question..

Was any animal harmed during coding this catalog?

(seems like the mentioned geocities link is back up..)

there is a similar thread running on the kvr-forum -
check here: http://www.kvr-vst.com/forum/viewtopic. ... sc&start=0

there are two guys who might know something:
One of them calls himself pheleep and the other phz
(about the latter I heard rumours that he should be the legendary synth-edit coder experimentfour in disguise :shock: )

maybe you should ask there

:wink:

experimentfour ???

i vaguely remember rumours he released some half-arsed synthedit stuff a year or so back ...

... i never got round to checking them out ...

... anyone got a link ???
