Re: Samples seem ok-when played static

Re: Samples seem ok-when played static

Does anyone know why certain libraries of mine play back with STATIC only --  
 however IF I check on the samples (i.e. open the individual wave forms in 
the sample edit mode) they look and audition just fine?

Strange...

Probably a task for EXSManager again...

The .exs files have information on what format the sample file is. Static 
can either happen if the type or the bits are wrong.

Typewise, if it's AIFF, it'll have a "AIFF" text line in it. If WAVE, the 
"WAVE", if Sound Designer, then "Sd2f".

If this is out of sync, especially if it's a AIFF and the .exs says WAVE, 
you get static because the EXS engine plays the sample data in the wrong 
byte order.

Also, if the .exs file says 16-bit, it'll play the sample with 16-bit 
interpretation (2 bytes per sample). If the samples are 24-bit, you get static.

You can use EXSManager to sort this all out, then you'll be golden.

Thanks Garth.   I do by practice run EXSManager everytime I add to or change 
any of my sample library.   Even after I do that I still have the static.   I 
am imagining I will have to 'remake' the library in question.

There is a specific "Check and fix sample format inconsistencies" 
option in ExsManager that must be enabled in the References page in 
order to fix the instruments.
If you need more help, please contact me in private
