Hello All!

I just figured out how to semi-automate the process of making sample sets. It was really quite a pain, but I finally figured it out. The samples I put together are from one of my favorite freeware VSTs, UGO's REZ V2.0 VST!! You should check it out!! I can really make samples from any VST or SoundFont between C4-C7 (three octaves) now! Anyway, check out some of the killer synths I made from UGO's VST:

Again, you have to play it within C4-C7 or things start sounding funny. I have always thought that ThumbJam could use some better synth sounds in their arsenal!!

Let me know what you think...and give credit to UGO if you use them for anything official or talk to them about it...Thanks

Cool sounds. Are you interested in sharing your semi-automated technique to making them?

One thing you'll want to do is properly set the note range in the default flotpatch for each sampleset. The 'root_note' sets the lowest note you want visible, and 'note_range' sets the number of semitones (make it a multiple of 12) in the range.

Another trick is if you have it all set up the way you want it in the app, save a preset there, then you can pull that preset off via WiFi transfer by going to the URL: http://YOUR_IP:8080/Presets/ and the will be numerically named with higher numbers being more recent.

Absolutely!! I used Autohotkey's autoscriptwriter (freeware) to use my sequencer of choice (Orionpro) to record the three octaves at 120bpm. Then I simply replace the names within the flot and flotpatch files in notepad (this is the longer part). The biggest problem I had was losing the special ASCII character used to separate samples. Without this, the files won't work. Then it is just zipping and loading. I have been tempted to use autohotkey for this too. Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello All!

I just added some more samples that I put together are from one of my other favorite freeware VSTs, TogeoStudio's Oatmeal Freeware VSTi!!:

Marlow77, great sounds.

I downloaded them all, and have tried them out. I really love all the depth of the acoustic instruments ThumbJam has, they sound so realistic and great, but it is nice to have some more synth sounds as well. Thanks for taking the effort to put them up.

I downloaded a couple of other instruments “manually” (not in app) as well, and only four out of about thirty didn't work for me. Three of them were from you Marlow77 at
http://cid-5d00cc8a0e0f3733.office.live.com/browse.aspx/ThumbJam?Bsrc=Ge...

So I wanted to let both you and Jesse know about the issues:

ARP Chordbeat SM - Folder contains no .flot or .flotpatch files.

Funkopotomus - Just did not show up after importing.

StringTheory- ARP Pans&Pots TC - Didn't come in at all either, but did install audio files in the "Uploaded Samples area" and unfortunately I also can not seem to delete them, although I was able to remove some others from Kalimba.

Thanks much,

Hamilton
