aw ok yeah that makes sense! mm still definitely rocks for even 6 files at once on stage, but im finding it definitely requires a few special considerations when planning out exactly how long those wav files are, to work around the limits, at least for how my live sets (the ones that are geared around the basic wav player anyway) are setup.
really looking forward to seeing what comes of sts on mm down the road! or an advanced wav player, or what have you..
I compared the basic wav player with the other samplers in VCV and experimented triggering tight plucky samples with QCD with div/mult knob modulated randomly - so that triggering would go from from slow to really fast (granular fast). Here the basic wav player sounds very tight and precise. You get a solid “hardware” like feel when using it, unlike the other VCV samplers.
Being able to have a few more controls would go a long way: pitch input and high quality sample transposition, sample start that can be modulated, ability to load a folder of samples and modulate sample selection (all of the VCV samplers I’ve tested sounds horrible here).
Any news on the more advanced Meta STS type of sampler ? I still think a solid sampler (timing/transposing quality/tight parameter change response) is missing from the whole VCV/Meta library - and I tried them all.
Completely agree. I’m trying to use multiple instances of the Basic WAV Player for things that don’t need tuning alongside one instance of the SickoPlayer where I need to change the note of the sample. Sometimes it works, more often than not it doesn’t - Sample Buffer Underruns all over the place - pretty fraught when trying to use it for live performance!!
