PROBLEM!! How to loop WAV files for Dimension???
Hi guys I have a pressing problem with getting WAV samples played on Dimension...
The situation is this: I have purchased some WAV sample files from Best Service so that I can play them on Dimension's Sampler. However I noticed that the sample files don't loop as I want it to. I have also tried modifying the .sfz files so that the samples can be played looped, but the end result is that there is a terrible interrupted silence in-between when I press and hold the keys when the sample file(s) played instead of a nice, continuous sustain.
For a clearer representation for what Im experiencing, open up Dimension and load up any Multisample from 21-Vocals as an element. (E.g 8 Voice Aah Choir-(01) ) Press and hold down a high key (say C4). The sample will play as a continuous "Aaaaah" as long as it is held till release.
Now open up another multisample element, this time from 18-Reeds -> Sax Alto -> 414 - F - 001 (the first WAV sample for easier finding). Press and hold down a high key. The sample will play but it fades to silence after a few seconds.
I opened up both of those files in WINAMP and Media Player, and they both sound the same as when played on their original keys in Dimension.
So, I edited the sfz file for 'Sax Alto F' by adding a "loop_mode=loop_continuous" behind the notes. I then loaded up the sfz file as an element, and press and held a key. Now listen to the difference. Instead of a nice, continuous loop, there is that split second of interruption in-between loops. This is similar to the WAV samples I tried from Best Service.
Can anyone tell me how can I make the WAV files loop properly (like the WAV files in the Vocals multisample)?? Would very very much appreciate any help!!
