I guess sampler improvements didn't turn out to be such a priority after all. I was sure Live 7 would bring these changes to sampler. When it didn't, I was sure Live 8 would bring the missing features to sampler, but again it didn't. Live 8 added the new filter types (ladder and SVF) which is nice, but sampler is the biggest disappointment in terms of improvement (or lack thereof). It's just too bad because the biggest things it's missing are actually features of it's lesser siblings - impulse style timestretch and simpler style control of sampler start/loopstart/looplength.tempus3r wrote:I don't have the Live8b5 beta available to check myself today... was this fixed in Live8? This discussion about being able to macro map sample start in Sampler is years old and as far as I recall, you still can't.Robert Henke wrote:
And, yes. The fact that you cannot control sampe sstart, loop start and loop length in Sampler directly via MIDI or automation / clip envelopes is NOT part of a brilliant new concept, it is just not finished yet, and unfortunaltely i cannot even promise it will be in in 6.0. The only statement i can give here is, that i am also missing it like hell and will make sure it`s priority will remain high.....

Not complaining, what we were given with Live8 is amazing. Just curious.
Can we midi/macro map sample start/end in sampler in Live 8?
The reason I care so much about sampler though, is because I do really like the interface and Live really can be the ultimate sampling program. I just think that it's main instrument sampler is so much less than it should be.
