Unfortunately, my request for help has not elicited the responses I was hoping for. I understand the principles of what is going on, but have found problems actually trying to get the process working. To be specific, I recorded the sound of an instrument as a *.WAV file and then tried to import this into Vienna. The original file plays okay in Winamp; it is barely audible in Creative WaveStudio and cannot be heard at all when trying to play the sound in Vienna or PlayCenter (at least the final cut-down version of the file - the original recording plays fine but when I truncated everything each side of the sound, the volume dropped to zero). [I have checked that volume levels have been set high and set the playback to loop where appropriate.] I have basic questions about the relationship of an individual *.WAV file and a SoundFont bank - is it 1:1 or should several related files be imported for different parts of the range? When creating *WAV files, are there particular criteria on what makes a good sample (how long should it be, should the transient effects at the beginning and end of the note be included or should I create multiple samples for different types of articulation and should these all go in the same soundfont bank? I cannot articulate all of the questions I have here, which is why I was hoping for some guidance on how the music relates to the technology and if there are any books or websites that might explain this.
