I need more than 127 midi notes in MSF. Osc?

[Underoath77]

I'm trying to build an electric guitar in m sound factory and I'm realizing that I'm going to need more than 127 notes.

Is there a way to get more than 127 notes? Will OSC be supported someday?

Thanks.

Where do you get +127 notes for a 4 octave range instrument?

I just read that lol.

Also I realized making a guitar with MSF might be harder than I thought. Maybe Chandler can chime in.

I was thinking each note on the fretboard, but that would be sample based. And even so it's a repeating pattern oof

I can see why you might think that (22 or 24 frets time 6 strings), but the sampled guitar libraries I have for Kontakt use scripting to (among other things) determine which strings your notes should be played on, so even though there are more than 127 notes that are sampled (with round-robins and multiple velocity levels), the range of notes you need to play is still a lot less than 127. Some keys in a lower or higher range are usually used for keyswitches for different articulations.

I'm not very familiar with MSF, but it can probably do something like that. It would probably be a lot of work.

Ha! I had the same idea, so one could use all this cool ampstuff to build free instruments

To build a credible virtual guitar (electric, acoustic - doesn't matter) would be a massive amount of work when using a sample playback software device that had a scripting language (e.g., Kontakt). MSF has no scripting language. You could build a very crude one, but why bother - unless the project is just to have some fun.

True, but it's allways steps in a direction. It's so nice to be able to use effect creations in MSF, so the road may be long, but the possibilities grow with every update... My first goal was to use a selfmade Guitaramp with guitarsamples, maybe for my pupils, to play dynamic damped powerchords on a keyboard and change effect sounds. Even that is an interesting (reduced to specific needs) field...

I did an electric guitar multisample for a class. What I think I did was sample every minor third or thereabouts. Actually, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. If you look at sampled synths, aren't they generally sampled in tritones? That's an exact split every octave.

It just depends on the pitch algorithm. You can only stretch something so far before it's weird. I think you can always get a minor third out of it, though. That's nine samples per string on a 24 fret guitar so just 54 total. If you want to differentiate between a fretted vs. open string, you'll still have plenty of space and can control that with keyswitches.

My multisample didn't sound exactly like my guitar but it did capture the essence. I made a track from it; the guitar is the wah-like sound and obviously processed:
