Free VSTi Sampler : TX16Wx 0.9beta *update 11*

[jens]

And you also might want to adjust the color of the display area since it is really the same colors the Yamaha TX16W has.

That's a hilarious suggestion.

Thank you for the update

I drool for that modulation dests

In the keymap editor i miss some kind of indicator ala shortcircuit or kontakt, that show you what layer are you playing in your keyboard.

This is now added in the 0.9.02 version.

On feature i would use a lot would be the ability to drag and drop a batch of audio files on the GUI, and each sample would be loaded into a single key : it would allow for very quick drumkit creation
We could call it : "auto drumkit keymapping"

Love it so far. Thanks for making this!

Quick question: How do you rename a performance, program etc? I can rename a group but when I try to click on a program, it's just giving me a drop down to select another program.

Thanks!

Thx for this. A bit unintuitive as it is now, but you mentioned revising the GUI at some point so looking forward to that. Also hope for an integrated browser with search and autoplay features which are so useful.

I know there's a clever autoplay feature in the window dialogs, but unfortunately that kills the dialog app i'm using and turns everything gray and unusable which can't be set to make exception to the vst, only apps and that's the daw alas.

Well, it did well for me, but it didn't really have much in the way of filters without the replacement OS, Typhoon2000. Editing was a terrible chore, too.
But, I have to say that the sounds we got out of it were really superb - after a lot of work of course - and that was with the original OS, so if 12bit is your thing, it is a solid machine. We still have and use a boatload of samples originally made with it.

Is the real machine a good sampler?
I have seen them on ebay a few times and have often wondered if it would be good to pick one up-I love old grainy sounding samplers.
This software looks really good.

If you can live with 12 bit sound and only 1.5mb of RAM ... then go for it.

You'd be better off looking for a Yamaha A5000/A4000 imho. They go for next to nothing on ebay. I have an A3000 which is a;so great except for the dodgy rotary's.

Thanks,
I love old 12 bit samplers and 8 bit ones too-I have even got an old korg dss1 which is more like an analogue synth than a sampler,but it does sample and sounds great.
I may scope an old Yamaha out and have a play.
Cheers,
Steve.

funny thing, nostalgia... I keep wincing at the idea of things like loop-point modulation, and all these cool modern features I had to laugh at myself when the suggestion of making the GUI "more intuitive" made me feel grumpy! I'm like, "Cripes, here we go! The TX16W wasn't supposed to be easy to freakin' use, dammit, why the hell do you think they went to all the trouble to restrict us to only 16 buttons and a 2 line LCD??? They would have at least given us a function wheel if it was meant to be fun... YOU KIDS GET THE HELL OFF OF MY LAWN!"

It is actually already there. If you d&d several files into the keymapper they are laid out accoring to root key. For drumkit creation, simply create an empty group (new group in grouplist), set its key scaling to "fixed" (no pitch shift) and drag the drums onto it. They will be placed on a single key each, in the order you selected them at the drag source.
