Pop or Latin Brass for Sampler? (importing oth. VI to smplr?

[rockyleon]

Hey!

I've been looking forever for a virtual brass section that I can use live with Ableton. The orchestral brass won't work, since I'm going for more of a Latin feel.

I assume there is nothing out there or I would have found it by now.

Maybe it's possible to get something that was made for Kontakt, Halion, NNXT or EXS24 and import it to sampler in a reasonable way. Is it? Or is there someone I can pay to do it? I imagine it's a tedious process, what with multi-sampling...

I'm thinking of this here http://www.loopmasters.com/products/1377-Latin-Horns

Thanks!

In theory it's possible, but you'd probably have to forego complicated set ups. For better results I'd try something like this:
Translator™ 6 - Professional Instrument Conversion Software

You should look at Translator. 3rd party Sample library import is one of the most neglected features in a DAW or VSTi. Sampler accepts alot of formats but I personally know it doesn't do too good of a job with Soundfonts. I think the Kontakt support is for like Kontakt 1 libraries as in Kontakt 2 the sampling engine got alot deeper than a "normal" sampling engine. I heard EXS24 support is pretty good in Sampler although I haven't tested it.


The big thing is getting the envelopes right (especially Amp Envelopes). Everything else is guesswork trying to assume what the original programmer did. Drum Kits and Simple bass patches usually load up pretty easily but just about anything with complex modulation usually gets screwed up.
