Sampling Scope devices to concerve DSPs

dawman · Post by **dawman** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 4:02 pm

I'm not really hurting for DSPs, but is it possible to sample some of my Bluewave, and Vectron sounds to STS 5000, so I can import it to GS3 via Chicken Systems Translator? I use to sample quite alot of my EMU sounds back in the day, but Scope is something I'm going to be learning for quite a while. I thought maybe I could do it all in the box w/o wiring in and out physically, or just use some 75 Ohm SP/DIF cables if I have to. It would sure be nice for my Bluewave at 16 voice polyphony is unbelievablly beautiful, but costly in DSP usage. I always thought I was so bad w/ my Oberheims that I never really programmed PPGs or the Waldorf stuff. Now I seem to have quite a liking for wavetable sound. You can teach an old dog new tricks. If I sucseed in my endeavor w/ STS, Solaris will be happy w/ the extra DSPs!!

So complicated!!! I just press record and lay down tracks. Minimum clutter baby!!!

S4L is talking live, methinks.

I suppose it'll reduce your tweak-on-the-fly options a bit, but other cool things can be done in the sampler

I just want to know if I can keep the path all digital w/o having to leave the box.

yes, sure.

i think the best sampling program is samplit from cdxtract.

I suppose you'd just sample them going through the mixer into 24 bit wave dest.Going into Soundforge,Audacity,Wavelab etc.Then edit them with crossfade looping, or whatever the precision demands.Finally exporting each wave sample into the STS 5000
as part of keygroup(The last sentence was probably completely irrelevant).
Or then you could sample the speaker from your computer amp with really bad microphone......No thats leaving the box.

I've sampled a few Scope sounds before. I recorded them 24-bit into Sonar, sampling every C and G note. Sample each note for 15 to 20 seconds if you can't do an easy loop. After everything is sampled, export each note to a separate file, making sure the files are precisely trimmed -- you don't want any blank space before the sound begins, causing lag. Then it's pretty easy to assemble it all into the STS or Giga sampler. If you're recording the samples directly into the STS, you can export the samples all as wave and import them into GS.

Of course, you can't do any sound manipulation of the original after it's sampled, so make sure you have the exact preset you want!!

Have fun!
