The good thing of Kontakt (and GigaSampler, I think) is its ability to play vast collections of long and high quality samples with a relatively small usage of memory if you have a decent hard disk. Using lots of long and hiigh quality samples is a key factor if you want your work to be really useful and you don't want to creare a very accurate model.. I don't know if Csound sample playback opcodes can do the same. Other people should comment on this issue. ----- Messaggio originale ----- Da: Arda Eden <ardaeden@gmail.com> A: csound@lists..bath.ac.uk Inviato: Sabato 19 aprile 2008, 16:59:19 Oggetto: [Csnd] Making of an instrument sample with Csound Hi There, For my doctor's degree thesis I am planning to create a sample library for a traditional Turkish instrument called "Tanbur". In the beginning I decided to use Native Instruments Kontakt but, since I'm not touching any proprietary software I decided to carry this project to Csound platform. As Kontakt users already know, it's scripting support makes Kontakt a flexible and powerfull sampler. Since Csound has most of the features of a programming language, it seems like Csound already has the scripting support. :) Tanbur is a complicated instrument. It includes too many picking (Tanbur is played with a piece of long and hard stuff that is made of Turtle's shell) techniques and what I want is to control all the samples taken in any style of picking. So I'll use layering and this means I need to control the events like Note On ,Note Off, velocities etc. Also too many samples must be in the memory at the same time. Now what I wanna learn is the capabilities of Csound as a big sampler. Is it possible ?
