[LAD] Ardour sampler feature?

2014-08-26 Thread Devin Venable
Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't think such as feature as I'm about to
describe exists.

I'm making lots of use of the MIDI track functionality.  I find myself
wanting to take an audio segment, convert it to sample, and then use it on
a midi track.  I don't believe there is a way to do this without the aide
of an external sampler program.

My dream feature?  Click on segment, select convert to sample and a new
midi track appears linked to a plugin sampler, ready to play.

While I guess to understand the idea, I disagree and recommend to handle
this tasks individually/manually. I don't use Ardour for MIDI, but it
doesn't mater regarding to my opinion about your feature request. Good
samples need layers, how should layers be detected? Your request likely
is possible as long as no features a sampler should provide are needed,
IOW a sampler automagiocally only could provide what you can do by
copying the segment, so simply copy the segment, is less resource
hungry. As soon as you want the features a sampler provides, I doubt
that just move file.wave to sampler-midi note on x could do the trick.

From the OP description, what he wants is not actually a sampler as you 
would think of it historically, with layers and such, but something that might 
be called a clip player like certain ones that are popular with the kids 
these days.  

Thanks,

Yes, he's wanting MIDI-triggered loops. I think SooperLooper or Renoise may
be more in line with what he needs.

I've wanted something similar, a piano-roll type audio track, which
would be geared much less toward hard disk recording, and much more
toward fragments of audio - samples iow. Obviously not really for live
use. I did have a little look into modifying Ardour2 for such use but
only got as far as modifying it to glue audio to beats and bars by
default.

One workflow that maybe comes close is exporting the sample from ardour
(it *should* be reasonably easy to do) and loading it into for example
samplv1. Its more clicks than what you imagine but it might be workable.

Philipp
