With the release of the new Yamaha Motif XF series keyboards, you can now place your newly created multisampled patches into flash memory effectively eliminating the loading wait times. The technology is here and I can only see it getting more popular. Sampling sounds from other VSTi and Hardware Intruments allows you to greatly increase the number of sounds you can work with away from the computer on stage. Auto loop points in single or batch mode is also supported.

In fact, Extreme Sample Converter allows you to load up just about any Software VSTi and start auto sampling patches galore!! You can sample any number of keys but there is a limit of only 4 velocity layers which is fine.
CDXTRACT SAMPLIT PATCH
I couldn’t believe how simple it was using Nexoe’s YASE, Extreme Sample Converter, and Sony Sound Forge 8 to grab an NI Kontakt patch and dump it to the Roland Fantom-XR. The sound and quality was practically perfect. I then saved the file to my CF card and loaded it up in the Fantom-XR. In addition, the loop points and root keys were fully intact. I then opened up Nexoe’s YASE and imported the AKAI S5000 formatted file and instantly created a new patch and multisample for the Fantom-XR. Within Soundforge, I was able to trim the excess fat outside the loop points and work a fade in to eliminate any pops at the beginning. I then exported to AKAI S5000 format (Nexoe YASE imports this format into the XR easily) and opened them later in Sony’s Soundforge 8. I was then able to select all the wav files at once and auto loop them. I was successfully able to sample “beautifully” 4 velocity layers with different zones across the keyboard. So, I went on to the next offering which was Extranslator’s Extreme Sample Converter. Quickly one will find out that many of these auto sample VSTi applications are quite expensive. Unfortunately, RESAMPLE wouldn’t allow me to test fully in demo mode. This lead me to trying out Nexoe’s RESAMPLE to sample patches from NI’s Kontakt because I couldn’t extract the WAV files very well. I recently purchased Nexoe’s YASE for the Roland Fantom-XR to import samples and create multisample patches. Hopefully soon, I’ll be jumping on the Yamaha Motif XF wagon and with that you get a whopping 2GB of Flash memory.
I also have a Yamaha A3000, Roland S-760, W-30, and S-330 hardware samplers. Well, they are not exactly my own as I am sampling another soundset, but the multisample itself is something I have been programming into my hardware synths such as the Roland Fantom-XR and Xa. to convert from one sound format to another, I stumbled upon the concept of sampling VSTi soundsets directly to create one’s own multisamples. After spending a fair amount of time using conversion programs such as Awave, CDXtract, Translator, etc. Whether you are using a popular software sampler such as Native Instruments Kontakt or a hardware workstation such the the new Yamaha Motif XF, there is a growing trend to sample new sounds for your instrument of choice. Recently, sampling is becoming a very popular art form in music.
