Yes. The sample taker didn't consider the idiosyncracies of the instrument
either, but that's par for the course with sample patches not from a
professional source.

Hi !
Thanks for that.
As for looping, in the meanwhile a friendly guy from the italian
newsgroup it.comp.musica has done a looped version of the reed:
www.viandanze.com/materiale/mello.sf2 (~3.7 Mb)
He said that the problem (Ryan point that out some time ago) is that
those samples are too short, and that he had no luck either with normal Hi!
At http://freepats.opensrc.org there is a mellotron sample in the
flac format. I'm very interested in this sound. I'd like to see it in a
soundfont, so it can be used with fluidsynth. Unfortunately I only can
convert this sample to the .wav or .raw format and split the different
samples from one another. The actual soundfont creation (with swami) I
can't do. Would anyone be interested in this kind of project? As said
I'd convert and split the flac file and do, what else I can, but
for the final swami-touch, I'd need some help, because I'm blind.
I'm looking forward to hear from someone!
Kindest regards Julien
Here is a link to a draft SoundFont. No loop points were set,
but looping is engaged. Approximately 12.3Mb.

I'll submit it to freepats when it's done. lopping or with ping pong. He used crossfade looping.
the result isn't
that bad.
I haven't seen any indication of crossfade looping capability in smurf. By
"ping pong" do you mean play forward and then reverse? That has obvious
artifacts.
In order to avoid duplication of the effort, I suggest
to join our
forces. I don't know if he can write in english, but I can eventually
act as a (not-so-good) translation gateway ;-) I put him in Cc.
Cheers,
That's the sensible thing to do. I'd be interested in knowing what his plan to
proceed is.
