Bugs / Re: Save as Midi File

« on: September 05, 2010, 06:18:06 AM »

1st : Some songs are not completely converted only few seconds

I'm having a similar issue although in my case I am getting more static.  Attached is a file with two SP-12 Toms A and B that are from a Sample Kit.  I was able to successfully import the entire kit along with Tom A, but Tom B would not import no matter what.  It just gets mangled.  This happens with various other random samples from different kits from different product companies.  It's strange how Tom A gets imported, but Tom B doesn't.  Perhaps other can try and see if they encounter the same issue.

Thanks!

General Discussion / SMFW30 Version History

« on: September 05, 2010, 06:11:15 AM »

Hello!

I'm curious about the version history of SMFW30 and why both versions offer different editing capabilities.  I find that I have to use both versions 1 and 2 to do everything I need.  Thanks!

I understand this is an old post, but I just wanted to make note that Miro appears to be a pretty busy guy who can take some additional time to correspond.  I registered my software without any issue and it took about a week if I remember correctly.  This didn't bother me at all, however for those who require a faster turnaround, you might need to be a bit patient.  This message is just to let everyone know that the software works as advertised and that Miro communicates exceptionally well once you're on his radar.  Enjoy!

Hello Miro!

I have been using your SMFW30 software quite extensively and find it definitely fits my needs.  I only have one issue which is minor, but occasionally it's also major.  Sometimes when I import 5 or 6 samples, I get one that gets corrupted by the software.  It's usually a high pitch sound or simply static.  I will then try and re-import that one WAV file and the same thing happens.  This means that either the WAV sample is bad, or something in the SMWF30 app is conflicting with it.  In any event, I can supply you with an example WAV or two that I cannot get to import if you wanted at some point to test on your own.  For the most part I can just sample direct, but then I run into issues with input balance and volume.  The samples imported via SMFW30 are almost always much more clear and higher in volume.  I like this very much, but it's often difficult to reproduce when sampling directly.  I'm not sure why.

With regards to new features, I would say the following would be great.

1.  Allow editing of the "Key" which I almost always have to edit once imported into the W-30.  In fact, I noticed that in SMFW30 v2, I can only edit the "Memo" and nothing else.  This is fine as I ultimately just need the WAV imported, but I noticed in V1 I can edit just about everything.  I use Version 1 to make parameter edits, and then reopen the file to create my OUT file. 

2.  Allow patch editing like in Version 1, particularly with Volume.  I noticed when I import samples, the volume under patch is always at 0.  Again, using Version 1 I can edit names, keys, volume, Loopmode etc, but in version 2 I no longer can.  Not sure why.

3.  Support for SCSI devices would be awesome!  Note that I mainly ( and perhaps others ) use ZIP and MO drives only because they are more reliable than HDDs.  Plus it's easier to move zip disks around.  I would even pay for an upgrade to this no problem at all.  Also note that the connecting to a CD-Rom is probably not that necessary due to the fact that may users probably do not have a compatible CD-Rom.  In my experience thus far, ZIPS, MOs, and HDDs are the easiest to acquire for the W-30.

Despite the occasional corrupt WAV file I get when importing via SMFW30, I have had much success with your software.  Thank you!!
