the problem though, is that petri-foo still
doesn't allow layering of
samples within a patch. so say you setup five patches with five
samples to be in five overlapping velocity ranges. that's five
different patches. you don't want five patches, you want to achieve
the illusion of one patch - ie you probably want to achieve the
illusion of a single musical instrument as realistically as possible.
so if you adjust one patch, you probably also need to adjust the other
four also which could rapidly get out of hand.
i really don't see or desire for petri-foo to be a sampler to be used
for realism. you'd be much better served by linux sampler if realism
is what you're looking to create.
I see that, and I think it's allright; if achieving this thing, which
isn't one of the goals of the project, means bringing major changes to
it, I agree it doesn't make much sense. There is indeed other software
meant to do it - ATM I'm using hydrogen.
thank you for the talk :)
cheers
