Different samples for Attack decay sustain and release

[Space_Invader]

Is there a software sampler (i prefer a plugin) where you can use different sounds for Attack decay sustain and release part of the sound

I don't know of any samplers that will do this in a straightforward way for attack, decay sustain - but read on, I'm not sure you'd even want to.

Many samplers do allow the use of separate release samples (e.g. Kontakt, Halion), which are triggered upon note-off.

In principle, you could implement separate samples for attack, decay and sustain on most samplers, since almost all samplers will allow you to trigger several different samples for each note. Getting it to work properly would involve tricky programming, because you have to get the length of the attack etc. times in the envelope to match the samples etc., and arrange for some delays at the start of each sample, also matching the envelope times. In other words, when you change the attack time length, you also have to change the length of time which the attack sample plays and the delay for the decay sample. Messy.

A far easier approach would seem to be combine the samples you want to use for attack, decay and sustain into a single audio file in an audio editor (where you can make sure there are no glitches between them), and then use a separate release sample.

I was going to suggest mfb's idea of combining the wavs and then setting the ADSR points but he beat me to it.

Or, if you need to trigger each specific one at a specific time then you could try this:

Use RR programming to trigger the different sections. Eg.

attack = RR1
decay = RR2
sustain = RR3
release = RR4

Then you would set them to only cycle in order, not randomly.
