TAL Sampler - discussion

[wilx]

Just a couple of thoughts after using TAL Sampler for a bit...

Sample view Zoom in the main window - v hard to see what's going on when I'm just using a small section of a long sample.

Just a touch more visualisation around modulation - in terms of what is being modulated and by how much. Especially some sort of visualisation for the LFOs - even just a subtle, low contrast pulsing LED type thing so I can see a) it's working and b) the speed/polarity at a glance

There was an update to tal-sampler,

Version 4.5.7 /26.02.2024

Fixes crash introduced with v 4.5.6.

Version 4.5.4 /04.09.2023

Save samples and preset to directory fixed.

4.5.5 or 4.5.6 released? maybe typo?

Seconded.

Thrue.

I see there's some modulation visualisation in the new TAL Drum update! I guess that's likely to make its way to Sampler too? If we also get Drum's auto slicing that would be lovely.

Another thing I noticed re intuitive workflow - right-click contextual menu on the waveforms, click and drag to select sample range/loop range, and pinch to zoom (on trackpads) would be a big time saver. At the moment, clicking and dragging the waveform pans the view horizontally.
As does scrolling the mouse horizontally.
As does clicking on the waveform focus box under the waveform and dragging.
Instead of three similar ways of doing the same thing, maybe we could have clicking and dragging on the waveform (or on the top/bottom third of it, for example) as selecting part of the waveform for creating a slice or loop etc.

Any chance we'll get the ability to type in values (i.e. double click the knob or text below to enter in data)? Can be quite tedious some times to get numbers right. It looks like it should already be possible but I can't figure out a way to do it.

longer release timessssssssssssssssss

Would it be possible to make the 3.62 GUI (as is, no additions or changes) a toggleable option in a future point release of version 4?

I miss version 3.62's single page 'in your face' display (no tabs) and arrow-select preset/sample browser (versus LMB double click). I realize the 3.62 GUI is unable to modify the full feature set of 4.54; that is OK. I just want to be able to use the 3.62 GUI while retaining the same sound from patches created with V4's new features (chorus, granular engine, etc).

I use both v3 and v4 together. It works in Reaper when I rename the plugin files. v3 is just so great when you need a great and simple, but fully featured sampler with easily accessible controls. v4 is great for more complex sounds. It's great they can be used together.

Also, for some sounds, TAL-Drum is a great sampler and even more versatile in some aspects - layers and multi-outs, for example. Who says it's only good for playing drums? And the FX section is awesome! I've been always whinging about TAL-Sampler not having multi-outs. Before TAL-Drum got released.

Does anyone know what the 'L' button does - to the right of the 'SC' button at the top of the UI?
I can't find any reference to it in the manual.

I can't find any reference to it in the manual.

The changelog says "Lock feature (L on the top right) for assigned MIDI CC's (v 2.8.3) ".

This thread is about TAL Sampler. Maybe post this to the TAL Pha thread instead.

Thanks for the reply. In the current version the button marked ‘lock’ does that. I’m guessing that maybe, as it’s adjacent to the service control button, it locks any settings you’ve made there. The manual is a bit thin on detail though...

You are right. That is what it does, I just tested it.
