Maize Sampler

great!

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.

This Software has Been Updated a Lot latest Release is v2.5.6 and is working Fine.

and you can Contact the Company at this email address.

Xiang Cao <cxhawk@gmail.com>

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.

This Bug has Been Fixed a Long Time Ago in 2015.

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 Software has Been Updated a Lot latest Release is v2.5.6 and is working Fine.

now Attack Decay Sustain & Release are Working as They Should.

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!.

Filter Cut Off Frequency has Been added.

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?

Glide is now using a Skewed Curve.

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?

Version 2.32 is out with an updated Framework and it's less CPU Hungry.

now DFD Works whithout Noise a Great Improvement Thanks to Xiang Cao.

Hi Everyone there has been a lot happening lately with "Maize sampler" after going thru a lot of testing with Xiang Cao he just released a new Version v2.4

here are the new features .

– Multioutput player works better now
– Added the action to chose group output in combo box
– Level meter supports master output level
– Fixed the z-order bug in GUI editor
– Fixed a selection bug in table view
– Fixed a problem where amplitude range is not properly saved in player
– Updated the application framework.

new things that would be appreciated:

the ability to choose MIDI channel for each group from the GUI.

separate reverb send for each group accessible from the GUI.

if you think these are good ideas support the Project by buying it.

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.

Hi Placemat check my latest Plugin for Sliders.

i Used Fader Option for the Knob (a simple Picture).

and designed the Slider Track on the Background Picture.

MB M-Lator

Just what I have been looking for. About to try it out. Thanks.

the best way to get something like Reso & Cut-off mplemented is to buy the software then you can communicate with the Creator Xiang Cao.

for adsr sliders you can create them easily with Knobman and use them inside a custom knob.

download for free.

i can not get any sliders to work in maize that is created in knobman ... any tips what i might be doing wrong thanks.

Hi. I know this post is old but ever figure out how to make the sliders work?

V2.41 Update has Been Released after going thru a lot of testing with Xiang

Bug Fixes are:

– Better multi-output player support
– Fixed a problem where the last instrument is not correctly restored in player
– Fixed a wav sample file reading problem when it contains loop information
– Fixed a keyboard color problem
– Restore last selected groups for groups with manual selection type
– Updated the application framework.

Please support the product by Buying it.

it is the only product like this on the market !

now that Sonic Birth is Dead!

i Forgot about another Bug Fix:

-Fixed LFO Control with the modulation Wheel on Both Windows And Mac exported Plugins.

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 Again About that Drum Machine you are trying to Create.

were you talking of making loops inside maize sampler and after trig them with a keyboard note.

or simply a drum Sample Player because everything works on my side you can try my Drum kits you will see.

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?

Hi placemat sorry for the delay was Busy on another project.

to understand what is the problem.

you say Maize APP not compatible with sierra or you say maize created VST plugin's not compatible with sierra.

i did create all my plugins mostly with the maize app v2.4.1 in Windows 7 and in OS X 10.6.8.

i tested All my created plugins in OS X Sierra "Audio Unit with Logic Pro X" and "VST with Cubase Elements * and everything was fine.

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.

Hi! sorry for the Delay.

to Create Installers for Mac i Use Iceberg By S.Sudre it's Free.

Iceberg Package Maker

For Windows you can Try Inno Setup Also Free.

Hi Guy's.

Maize Sampler v2.5.5 is Out:

• The ADSR Works Perfectly Now!

i re-wrote the "Maize Documentation Manual" and sent it to Xiang

inside this updated manual you will find explanation how to use the "ADSR" and the new Fearures.

Midi CC Controls still need to be added for "Modulation" and "Glide Time (Portamento)"

this App is easy to use and the Best For Creating

"Audio unit VST & VST3" for Mac

& "VST VST3" for Windows

Check My Website for Plugins Created with Maize Sampler!

MB Audio Lab

Well done! I look forward to adding the ADSR again.

Merry Christmas all.

Thanks Music Man and Xiang.

Hi Everybody Maize Sampler Version 2.5.5 Works on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Export to 32/64-bit on Mac and Pc is Working Perfectly.

a new updated .pkg Version will Be Uploaded Soon Meanwhile you can Extract The App From the .pkg With Pacifist.

or you can install it on 10.7 or Higher and then copy the app and paste it back into 10.6.8.

it Will Work.

Hi Everybody Version 2.5.6 is Out.

Fixes in this Version are For Controlling Knobs on the GUI when using an External MIDI Controller.

Some Knobs on the GUI where not Refreshed in Real time.

"Modulation, Pitch Bend & Filter Frequency"

now it is Fixed.

Create a Modulation Wheel GUI Knob & Assign it to MIDI CC#1"

the GUI Filter Frequency Knob was not following the same skew factor when using an external MIDI Controller.

Now it's Working.

You can Control ADSR with a MIDI Controller.

Attack: (control via MIDI CC 73).

Decay: (control via MIDI CC 75).

Sustain: (control via MIDI CC 76).

Release: (control via MIDI CC 72).

(P.S. you can also use Automation to Control ADSR).

Enjoy.

Please provide a link to some information, what should the animation file for Peak Meter look like?
none of mine fit.

ReplyRemove.

you do not use an Animation File it's Just a Picture of a Full Lighted Vertical Led Meter over a black background.

you can try to download this file.

https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/120_LED_VU_meter_1_2___W39908ASM1_SGBoard_A_Main_2.html.

and turn it 90 degrees left to have a vertical image Crop the picture to get the full level Meter.

in the Gui Skin you must reserve a Blank space with a "Black Background"

it has to be the same dimension has the led Meter you just Cropped.

in the GUI Object Choose add Component "Level Meter" assign it to the output Channel You want.

for "Choose image" Select the image of the Cropped lighted led meter.

then move it over the "Black Background" reserved space and verify if the 2 last numbers in "Bounds" match the Width and the Height of your Cropped Level Meter.

do not Chose "Alpha Mode" in the options (Alpha Mode will act as a Fade in Fade out of the Full sized Level Meter).

with alpha Mode Off the picture will un-mask from the bottom to top depending on the output level acting close to a real Led Meter.

i Found that this was a Good Way to mimic a Led Vu Meter.

Here is a Plugin using this Method.

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.

Open The Player GUI Editor and use The Label Component.

Then Choose an Action.

Options are : Instrument List, Group List or Selected Groups you Should Read the manual everything is Explained.

Musik Man.

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.

Open The Player GUI Editor and use The Label Component.

Then Choose an Action.

Options are : Instrument List, Group List or Selected Groups you Should Read the manual everything is Explained.

And For GUI i use Skinman.

https://www.kvraudio.com/product/skinman-by-g200kg

and Gimp to create alpha Layers on images.

Another question Musik man...how do you animate your analog meters inside your reverb unit of your site?The reverb unity was made with maize sampler using what parameters? thanks again.

The Reverb was not Created With Maize Sampler.

And what software you used to create that reverb?thank you agaib.

Another question : How add component drum pad figure ? How drum pad work ? Thank you.

For the Drum Pad use an image Button Click "Toggle no" and Select MIDI note number for the drum you want to Trigger.

Hi. Love the software. My question is how do I use a slider or a VU Meter inside of Maize Sampler 2? I have looked and can't seem to find it anywhere..

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
