Bliss sampler

Yes, hopefully with the next framework update which should largely improve it.

Ok, sounds quite promizing!

Thanks for the report.

Please Switch Engine Quality to normal under Options. It only happens with macOS by the way.

I will post a hot fix for this in the next hour.

Thanks for the quick response, that seemed to work.

There is a new macOS installer at Members Area that has the issue already fixed.

Hi,

just bought the Bliss 2.3
I want to use it to sample things for my Disting EX. I tried batch sampling Generate plug in.. using loop. But for some reason I end up with all my samples having a "tail" at the start of the sample. Loop works fine although I would love to have a way to change Start End for all zones at once :p Oh.. also what ever the setting for loop lengh it's almost like it loops from the middle of the sample.
again.. just installed tried it so maybe I do something wrong.

(btw sampling hardware is top #1 in what I would like to see)

The online activation marks the end of my purchasing of DiscoDSP products, unfortunately. I do appreciate that you support Linux, however.

[discoDSP]

We appreciate your concerns, and we'd like to clarify that discoDSP's commitment to making high-quality music software accessible across platforms remains unwavering.

To that end, we want to clear up a little misunderstanding: our Linux builds do not require online activation! That's right, in the world of Linux, we like to keep things as open as possible, just as Linux itself intended.

As a little aside, we're well aware of the unique challenges our Linux-based musicians face. I mean, isn't it hard enough trying to explain what a Linux distro is to your bandmates, let alone deal with online activations? Now, you just have to worry about hitting the right note, and we'll take care of the rest.

Keep on rocking...in the open-source world!

[audiojunkie]

Are you saying that none of your linux versions of any of your software uses challenge/response or any online activation?

What about your installers for Linux? Do they have any copy protection built into them on linux?

[audiojunkie]

I see that you’ve posted in other threads today. So should I take your lack of response here as reluctance to answer my questions directly?

[audiojunkie]

Still no comment?

“Keep on rocking...in the open-source world!” Haha! What cheese!

[discoDSP]

Yes, none of our Linux versions of any of our software uses challenge/response or any online activation. As for the Linux installers, they do not have any copy protection built into them. All these details can also be found in the system requirements section on our website.

[audiojunkie]

Ok. Thank you for responding. I was starting to feel like you were avoiding me.

Hello everyone,

We're excited to announce a new update to the demo version of our Bliss sampler. Now, you have the ability to save your samples or sampled virtual instruments as SFZ files, albeit the WAV files will be limited to 16-bit only. This feature was previously not available in the demo version.

This enhancement allows you to explore and store your unique sounds with more flexibility and control, even while using the demo trial.

Happy sampling and music creation!

Hey fellow musicians! Have you checked out Bliss 2.6 yet?

If you haven't heard yet, Bliss 2.6 just dropped, and it's a total game-changer! The new features are:

• Revamped core framework.
• Now supporting Windows 32-bit standalone – for all those retro plugin lovers out there.
• And guess what? We've even fixed that pesky SFZ saving issue in the demo.
