Soft sampler that CAN ACTUALY SAMPLE ?

[Ruffy]

Please help me anyone, im about to flip out here ! i sold my Yamaha SU700 last year and although i thought it wouldnt be a problem i cant find a software sampler that CAN ACTUALY SAMPLE ? i have seen on this site that Emulator x can sample but what i want to know is can it sample audio internaly...

here is what i want to do:

1. play one of my many classic funk mp3's in winamp or whatever.

2. while the song is playing i want to make quick on the fly samples directly into a soft sampler in cubase.

..pretty simple really !

all i can find are samplers that can only LOAD samples and its driving me crazy because recording samples with soundforge/cropping/editing/saving/loading into battery/intakt is wayy to long and gets in the way of my creativity unlike hardware samplers where you can get ideas going in seconds.

once again i will be extremely greatful if anyone can confirm that emulator x is able to do what i want or if not recommend any other that can.

You can use any audio editor (audacity is good freeware) to sample internally. Save the clip as a wave, then import into your soft sampler. I don't know of any soft sampler that actually samples. Heck, you can even use windows recorder for that function.

edit: oops, just re-read your post - you know this already. Sorry - can't help you otherwise....

Believe it or not, Imageline (you know...the Fruity Loops company) have released a soft sampler which actually samples!! It can load many different file formats

" ...Import: DWP (proprietary), WAV (any), SF2 (Soundfont), AKP (Akai), Propellerheads Recycle, Native Instruments Battery, Kontakt *(nki), GIGA *(gig) & eMagic EXS24"

Don't know how good it is but the specs look good. Check it out here:

wooohooo ! this looks like it could be the one

"Realtime sampling / recording of whatever is connected to DirectWave inputs (needs modular host or host with assignable plug-in routing)"

what is modular host with assiganable plug- in routing though ??

does that mean cubase sx ?

[earthloop]

I think that means any of the full sequencer packages...like cubase, Live, even their own FL studio etc.

That one half the reason I'm upgrading to version 6. I do so much patch creation and effects work, that it's very CPU intensive. That sampler will allow me to create multi sample banks from soft synths as well as harware..

Depending on how hard the conversion process is, I may start puttting out sample CDs...

Hey Proteus! If you get the sampler, let us know what it is like!

[Ruffy]

i just got the demo downloaded and i have cubase sx3 open. is there a manual for this program anywhere ? i have no idea how to set up the routing so i can start sampling (or is it disabled for the demo ?) the website is very minimal and i cant see anything on the forum about set up for sampling.

[Proteus9]

My intuition would tell me perhaps you'd have to open it up in the mixer? that way you can run audio into it.. ? I dont know much about cubase.. but i'd also look into cubase for routing audio in other channels..

[Ruffy]

im sure this is simpler than i am making it doesnt help that i havnt slept in the last 2 days lol. im pretty much new to cubase aswell.

[XIONG]

so do i, pretty much new to cubase aswell.
