Hard Disk Overload Indicator

[fishmonkey]

as far as i can tell, your piano rack basically creates an unholy cacophony of piano sounds. there are lots of ways to do that besides pushing the limits of multisampling.

[thomassmith]

could you tell me a way then, pls?

[fishmonkey]

is this for recording or live performance?

either way, if you want a fully playable piano cacophony instrument, then make your own multisampled instrument so that each mash of notes becomes a single note in your new instrument. then your cacophony rack will look like the original one that you tweaked.

i don't think there is going to be a way to achieve it without some pre-preparation on your part.

thank you.
could please show me this thing via a picture or a video. I would need some sort of material to do it.
i don't know how to do it.

I managed to do it with resampling:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5P3-voXgRA 6:00
But I am very curious how you would have solved this and how to do that multisampled instrument you were talking about mate.

[fishmonkey]

if i just needed a particular sound, but not necessarily a playable instrument, then i would resample and layer.

if you wanted a playable instrument, then you could create your own multisampled instrument where each note is itself a resampled sound, i.e. one note of your cacophony piano. you would resample a whole set of these, ideally at different velocities for more nuance in the sound. then you can put them together inside Sampler.

cheers fella.

I had (and hopefully no more have) the same Hard drive overload. Biggest crash came when trying to run Lincoln Brewster's "Miraculum" (what a beast of a hard drive load) had to drop tracks in the file just to get it to play. Took computer in last week and had the hard drive switched to a terabit combo Solid State/Disk at their recommendation. Rest of the system is an I-7 8-gigs of ram running Win 7. They cloned the info to the new drive and so far so good. I still have to load the tracks to ram. But the whole thing will play without the overload light coming on. I still have to give it a few for all the tracks to completely load. But speed has gone way up ,(like 5 X's faster and the light is off. Other tracks I've tried are way better too. Can't promise the same results for anyone, but it seems this is at least my fix.
Don't know what cost would be for others, but this may have been the best $250.00 I've spent to fix the problem.

yes fella,
i got a macbook pro i7 8gb ram 512 ssd and still indicator is on. only one midi track.
sample is an aif file and loaded from ssd drive.
if i load it from ram (on right bottom of the sampler) then the indicator is off but sound changes.
sad.
