two new sample packs are up from the illustrious @SPIKE - noiz-01 and noiz-02!

hey tyler

can you give some tips about how to make a pull request? i know this has been beaten to death elsewhere in the forum but you might get more activity if a step by step guide is included here (or on the crypts gh landing page)

so far i’m assuming:

  1. make a sample pack according to the guidelines
  2. fork crypts to make a new branch
  3. upload my pack
  4. submit pr to merge mine with yours?

is this correct???

edit: are stereo samples mandatory? i use ableton and can’t figure out how to make mono samples?

thanks @LLK reminded me of that feature on export settings :smiley:

also i would like to practice with the github workflow cause i can make sample packs almost every day

you will tire of uploading for me lol

Are there any guidelines on pitched samples so that they can be transposed correctly when used in Arcologies? Could, for example, 1.wav be in C4 and it would automatically be transposed according to parameter changes made for the arcology?

#47

samples aren’t affected by the global transpose (yet). that is a good idea that i’ll add to the backlog.

Just thinking out loud here but would it be possible to cycle/modulate through multiple crypt folders within one arcology (to allow perhaps 127 samples rather than just 6 samples)?

Or maybe create a new arcology that has that functionality but also draws samples from the crypts folders but has the ability to transpose?

yeah, those are great ideas. i’ve been meaning to come back and make a better sampler structure. i’ll add these to the backlog of ideas :). this is tentatively called the “glacier” you can see other ideas we have here: https://trello.com/c/CFyhIElj

necro’ing my own comment to update a bit. I’ve done some investigation of jFrog’s Artifactory as a potential for a sample repository but unfortunately some of the features I had the notion to use are more or less locked into their enterprise version… and beyond that the code changes are quite substantial.

I’d had the thought that we could hack together some abstract package manifests that, on the server side, would zip of the requested files and serve them together, but if there is a way to implement that without some substantial development, I don’t see it.

Now I’m wondering how sites like Beatport and Bandcamp handle their downloads. From the UX it seems like they keep a repository of uncompressed files that are compressed to the requested format and zipped up on request…
