I’ll look tomorrow as I’m too burnt today. Sorry, it appears that this author only released this in Decent Sampler format, not SFZ. No options...

I guess this won’t get used much by me. I could work with a different instrument and replace/freeze after all editing, but usually by then I’m locked into a working sound. We'll see.. Thanks for the ideas and help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Broken" in the name would make me steer clear of that one. Clearly an unfortunate marketing strategy... 🙄 Like I got "Shipwreck Pianos" in a IKM Group Buy. Don't think I would have bought that one. It's interesting, but not your everyday pianos... Edited August 21, 2022 by abacab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PavlovsCat Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Man, the tangents we go on in this group. If any of us made a criticism, it would be so easy to find an incriminating screenshot pointing out the hypocrisy! I know I'm definitely going to be one of the last people to say anything, but holy cow... 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Jones Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Thanks abacab now I need shipwreck pianos after hearing the demo, and I already just spent $250 on that XLN deal. And I almost thought I had to score that Waves A200 wurli or whatever it is, but turns out I must've bought it a long time ago. The trainwreck piano is a kind of stuff I like, a piano sound with a background sound attached to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Okay, I just watched this video -- the keyboardist I really talented-- and I have to say, the SoundPaint Wurlitzer electric piano isn't my ideal Wurli library, but there are some really nice presets. For $20 USD, I don't think I can resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This issue is specific to Decent at the moment. If I could load it into Vsampler, I might even be able to edit F#4 individually (Vsampler has full editing) Maybe the converter mentioned in this KVR thread could be of use. It seems to handle SFZ and Decent Sampler formats. https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=575352 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too early for me to do anything yet but I will check this out in a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keni Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) If anyone is following this with curiosity, so far unsuccessful. Using the recommended conversion app, i get many error messages reading the input file (dslibrary) and an output file of zero size. I'm burnt. Not important enough for me to give so much time so I’m gonna let this rest for now... OK... I always find it hard to give up... I just realized that the Filter is tied to the Mod wheel, hence the filter control problems. That opens some new possibilities to manage this problem. More to come...

Keni Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Ahhh! Solved the filter problem. It turns out that a right click on the filter knob shows current bindings to MIDI control and a midi learn button. Simpley removing the CC1 control from the filter knob stopped the reset problem! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brightness could be a quirk with that key in that particular Wurli that he sampled. Anyway, I noticed that his higher velocity layers seem to dominate, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of leeway between soft and loud, compared with my other Wurly plugins. Ramps up fast! Perhaps not as many layers? I think I saw an option somewhere that allows such setting. Either low/mid/high emphasis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keni Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Related to my discoveries about the filter and control mapping. I was thinking it would be nice if the filter could be mapped a user adjustable slope/range of velocity. I will look asap... on the off chance.
