I am using Maize sampler version 2.8.3.0 and I am having some trouble with the Octave settings, After importing the WAV samples on the correct key frrom C1-C8 and then exporting my project as a plugin and load it up into my Daw (Fl Studio) the sounds seem to be 2 Octaves lower and don't play at normal Octave as they do when testing in Maize and I'm not sure how to fix it or what I'm doing wrong so if anyone has any tips or information about this please let me know or email me @ studiotrapsounds@gmail.com it would be greatly appreciated.

This sampler works very well. The documentation could be improved, but overall a user can find their way through it and learn how to use it. I like that the sampler can layer different sounds, then be converted to a standalone VST instrument, The standalone VST instrument can have the panel graphics of your choosing. The knobs and controls are also this way. There is LFO support internal to it and this helps with creating various sound effects.

I'am looking for that kind of product but It's impossible to contact the company. I have the free version of Maize Sampler.
About the limitations, sound is only in one channel, is it normal?
I made a .dll and it works (in one channel only) but when I try it with another pc, the host say:''Cannot find any instrument''.
So I will not buy it without the possibility to contact the company.

I tried this thing, but it failed to be recognized as an Audio Unit upon export. I tried to find support about this, but it's just non-existent. Could have had potential for some small sound sets, but with no support and such limitations, I'm probably out.

Hi,
I have been checking out maize sampler with view to create a project,
I have noticed that the Decay and Sustain controls don't actually do anything?
the attack and release work but even with Decay and sustain fully turned off the sound still comes through?
Am i doing something wrong?
P.
THIS POST HAS BEEN REMOVED
The decay, release and sustain work with each other, you won't hear anything from the decay unless the release is at a certain position etc. I've created some nice sample based VSTs with MS2 but it really needs resonance and cutoff pots!.

Thanks for the reply Placemat, .
I know see what you mean, .
Its still only a very light touch though, .
Is there any way to change the amount it affects the sample?
so it cuts the sound entirely?
Also the glide amount does not save when exporting a patch?

I have just created a VST 32-bit with v2.3. I can get to a maximum of 7 banks of the same VST instance loaded but when I click on the eighth bank and try to load the same VST again, it will not let me. I have no idea why it won't. Am I out of memory? There is no message to tell me this. Any thoughts?

These are great improvements. I would still like to see reso and cut off pots and also the ability to have sliders for ADSR etc instead of just knobs.
It is definitely getting there and there is nothing out there like it. Keep up the good work.

I found a few bug from version 2.40 and submitted my results back in December, they have not been fixed yet. I provided detailed information as well as videos hoping that it would be fixed. I have purchased this product and do support the product in hopes issues like this could be fixed.
When creating a drum machine with Maize the ADSR does not fully function correctly when placing each sound in their own group. The Decay and Sustain do not work at all even with all the testing I have done. The other issue is once we created a simple drum loop and converted that MIDI to audio the audio was off by a bar or two. I have had a few beta testers report an issue when playing back, beta testers indicate notes are off but the MIDI notes are in the correct location. An example is if a kick played in bar 1 the kick triggers at bar 2 or 3.
If I am doing something wrong please advise how to correct the issue.

Hi Mukik Man. Love your drum modules!! Are they created in Maize? If so, how did you create the sliders?
I've found that when I export the VST using the demo for Audio Unit, it doesn't work in Mac OS X Sierra? Is this something to do with Sierra needing updating or is Maize not compatible with Sierra?
THIS POST HAS BEEN REMOVED
Do you know if maize sampler exports are compatible with Logic Pro X? I've been reading that Pro X uses .vst files.
Hi Musik Man.
Apologies for the delay also.
I have quite a few customers who are having much trouble in installing Audio Unit instruments in Logic Pro X under Sierra.
I've had a nice guy (customer) in New York who found a work around for it my deactivating the security whilst installing it. I'm not a Mac user, so it's difficult for me to explain.
I wish that it was just as effortless for Logic users to install as it is for Cubase users like me!;-).
Also, it would be great to have a 'Glide/Portamento' in polyphonic mode.
Cheers.

OK, I've now managed to create a knob in knobman and successfully import it into Maize. I have a slight issue though. All of the knobs are one click off centre to the left when I export the VST and test it out. I have 31 frames to get the centre click, but for some reason, I can't see why they are not centralised.
Can anyone please help me out?
Is anyone else having serious issues with the Audio Unit exports, especially with Logic X? I'm getting so many people saying just how difficult it is to get the VSTs working in Logic. You have to go into recovery mode and turn off the system protections which you shouldn't have to do. I wish Xiang could fix this.
If any other users are having similar problems please let me know.
I already finished my percussion instrument and now I want to create the professional installation for WIN is .exe and MAC .dmg. How do I do it? Thanks.

Good, I bought Maize sampler 2 version 2.4 years ago and I am designing a VST to sell it, and I downloaded some Knobs from the KnobsMan page a Lead Meter in vertical direction and I want to add it to my vst, when I add it I load the PNG image and export the VST and I open it in Fl Studio my Lead Meter disappears, even though my VST sounds it disappears completely and I want to add that lead meter, I could get some vertical lead meter Knobs to use it in maize sampler and a pitch bend.
How does the name of the new instrument selected from the list appear on the screen? And what function is used to insert a display screen into the gui? Thank you friends for any input.

Hi man.
Ive done everything according to the manual and have mapped my samples and designed my own skin and assigned the parameters to the correct destinations. My problem is I can't get the exported VST or AU to work in Ableton or StudioOne. It shows up in the program but not as what I've named it, it is just called Maize Sampler, and when I try to load it inside the program it says cant find any instruments and also it doesn't have any GUI? I've tried so many things to get it working so was wondering if you had any suggestions? I'm using Mac OS X Mojave.
all the best.

Does anyone have any ideas why the VST exports are showing just as 'Maize Sampler Player' and not the actual name of the VST? I need to get the correct names of the VST back again for Mac VST3. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm using 2.6.0.
Well I bought Maize sampler 2 version 2.4 years ago and I am designing a VST to sell it, and I downloaded some Knobs from KnobsMan page, a Lead Meter in vertical direction and want to add it to my vst, when to add it. I load the PNG image and export the VST and open it in Fl Studio, my Lead Meter disappears, even when my VST sounds it disappears completely and I want to add that lead meter, could you get some vertical lead meter knobs to use in sample corn and pitch bend.
Therefore, I need help with two things: a Lead Meter knob in the vertical direction.
and some pitch bend knobs to place next to the keyboard.
Well it seems that 2.5.8 was the last known 'working' version. I'll have to stick with that until Xiang gets the program fixed.
Any news on Xiang? Hope he is ok!
I have sent emails about v2.70 but no replies...
So far 2.60 is working for me. but 2.70 has problems exporting VST3
I'm also getting screwed by Apple as they keep updating their OS X and my Clients can't read their AU format instruments.
This new OS X update came from HELL! screwing all 3rd party developers.
Logic and Apple are just 2 of my most hated systems.
Well it seems that MS2 has hit a brick wall when it comes to Mac exports. It's a shame, and it's totally Apple's fault.
Has the multi output option been removed? I 'm using 2.5.6 as I find it to be the most stable version and I want to add multiple outputs but there's nothing in any available manuals, online or on youtube to help me.
If anyone has knowledge on how to do this, could you please help? I'm receiving no replies from Xiang now.
Many thanks.
Try using Decent Sampler. It's free and it works on iOS as well as Mac OS and Windows. I'm going to give it a go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9lljGwlGAY
