You know Bill Jackson wrote a utility to expand the sample repertoire for use in DRM Replacer.
It's available in the Software part of the forum in the Sonar Utilities thread.
Haven't tried it yet but it does look interesting:
CwDrSfzMaker http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3230962---------------------------------------------------------------------------This utility simplifies the process of sampling drum synths for use with Cakewalk Drum Replacer. It digests a string of hits in a 24bit wave file and installs them to the Drum Replacer content locations in the correct format. 32 velocity levels are saved in the multisample. The source file should have 32 hits, crescendoing, separated by exactly 2 seconds each. Included is a SONAR template.
Steps:
1. Open included Template: "DrumSamplerTemplate.cwt" 2. Insert the drum instrument of your choice and choose the kit you'd like to sample 3. Adjust the repeating MIDI note to play the kit piece that you want 4. Export a 24bit 44.1kHz file
(repeat if you want to randomize each hit with an alternative)
5. Open the CwDrSfzMaker.exe utility 6. Type in a name for your sample 7. Specify a type 8. Click "Browse..." and locate the file you exported in step 4 9. Click "Make It"
At this point, you can instantiate Drum Replacer, navigate to the "User" section in the sample list, and locate your new content.
