Any update news?

We are working on something. But no infos are going out because we are on something really unique.

Peace!

OK now you got my attention

Any idea of a rough timing for this, so we can start to get excited?

Can rapid import sfz, any plans if not?

If you made sfz patches, then you can use the wav samples right away, Rapid supports multisample import and can adjust sample mapping .

Please Parawave fix this issue. It happens far too often and shines a bad light on you copy protection not working correctly.

I'd like the ability to move and set the zones for each multi-sample and/or the possibility to move all zones up an octave. I use directwave to multisample, but rapid always, always loads them an octave lower. I try to pitch up 12 semitones, but this changes the sound dramatically. When I play the same MIDI over the new multisample patch vs the original it sounds different, even if I don't transpose up and merely tranpose the MIDI, it sounds different, so I assume it has something to do with the way rapid loads the wave forms and the playback speed is set.

In the manual it says one can set key info in FL Edison, but that is crazy tedious, one sample by sample. It'd be nice to have Directwave as the baseline that rapid reads wave samples.

In the picture, it clearly reads that rapid is reading the wave sample as C5, though it loads it at G4. Why not load it where it is meant to be?

I recently had some weird issue where I had to reinstall everything to get it to work again, all because I purchased two new libraries for Rapid. Under win10. Pretty aggravating, I had to contact support etc just to get to run and authorize again. Their whole installation process needs to be automated as it's a complete PITA to get it working again.

Are you able to adjust sample mapping? Ie, choose the key ranges per multi-sample, cause I don't seem to be able to here. I hope I am simply missing something.

Here's a quick video of what I mean. Rapid embeds it an octave lower. Transposing the MIDI or the pitch within rapid doesn't sound as good as the original.

Personally, if I've ever got into similar issue, I would fix it by adding or subtracting (12) in all [pitch_keycenter] of every region in the sfz file using a small python script or even notepad++ will suffice.

In case you like to learn more about that, check the SFZ format website.

Hey, I tried that, it is very different sounding somehow. I don't know how or why, but its not a matter of adding or subtracting 12 semitones. Maybe the developer can chime in. Couldn't you not hear from the example video, how it sounds different in the a/b comparison.

Oh wait, i think you are talking about something cool, maybe, but we are not talking about sfz, cuz rapid can't support that right, so just simple wave files. If there were a simple way to change the pitch keycenter in the wave files all at once automatically, that would be dope. If the sample is C4, rapid imports at C3, so I'd simply boost it to C5 so rapid will read it at C4. Also, merely streaming at c5 so rapid will read it at C4 is again different.
