    howdy all,

    Anyone else seen this? - I tried to get rid of the dead section at the start of a sample (simple -yes? - NO!) but I find I need to move the green sample start flag halfway though the visual representation of the audiable portion of the wav file to get the sample to play fram the audiable start - you can't set the start visually as the start of file and the green flag just dont seem to correspond.

    I've gone off K for months due to the bugs - thought - ït cant be that bad"- but cheeses it really is irritating.

    WHERES THAT UPDATE!

    Not a problem for me: one of the 1st things I adjusted when I got ewqlso.

    All samples in the group/instrument have to be individually adjusted. Can't think what else would explain your problem.

    (Do make sure you've actually got a bug before you blow your top)

    I haven't seen that problem.

    Are these custom samples or are they commercial libraries in Kontakt/Kompakt Player formats? If they're custom samples, consider using a sample editor to actually chop off that dead space from the sound files permanently. I use Audiofile Engineering's Sample Manager (Mac only, www.audiofile-engineering.com) which is a FANTASTIC tool to do this quickly and easily across thousands of files at a time.

    Obviously this wouldn't work for PC users or for samples embedded inside an NKS.

    Dunno what it is with me but when I find such "issues" I tend to keep at it, took a while this weekend but I found the problem.

    If you use a 44.1 KHz sample, the loop representation is fine.

    However if you use any another sample rate (I was using a downloaded voice sample - around 22 khz) and the actual representation of the WAV and the start and end flags were totally out of sync. NOTE - this only happens in sampling modes other than DFD - that was the kicker, everything works fine - you try to time stretch - then the sample is all out of whack??

    Is this a bug? - you decide.

    Hope this helps anyone else fighting this

    Cheers all
