Sample library with loop points?

[kyodeejay]

I'm looking for differents synth sounds samples which have well placed loop points. Does exist any sample library which is full of these kind of samples?

UVI sample libraries come to my mind.
For Example: UVI Synth Anthology 2

But that's a rompler, isn't it? I'm looking for wav files

Wav files hardly ever contain the loop points. There's no industry standard to specify it.

If there's an assocated .sfz file, there's where loop points (and the root note, key ranges, velocity layers etc) are specified.

Wav files hardly ever contain the loop points. There's no industry standard to specify it.

What do you mean? AFAIK, both WAV and AIFF file definitions have headers for that (and other) information. Otherwise, how would, for example, a program like Wavelab read a loop created in Sound Forge?

The problem is that there is a very large set of different "standards" for including metadata in WAV files. Some applications are compatible with each other, like Omnisphere and Kontakt reads "generic" loop points created by Steinberg Wavelab but it's a hit and miss between different software. (Even Wavelab has many different kinds of markers and loop metadata baked into the WAV files.)

WAV has been around since 1991 and is based upon the IFF file format from 1985. There's no strict specification for metadata, instead it's open for the developers to use and come up with whatever way they want.
