Playing files in Batch mode SONAR allows you to play several files in sequence. While I don't re-sample in the way that people suggest RCP and JXL do, I often convert / extract the wav files from Kontakt and remap a subset of them into simpler, more useful EXS instruments, which can then be turned into small Kontakt instruments that load very very quickly. Audio data directory (WaveData SONAR uses the Data directory. I might find one aleatoric cluster sustain sample in a "menu" style patch of orchestral effects that was originally mapped to just one key, but I want it spread across all 88 keys because I like how it sounds way down low or something like that. I also find that some libraries do not normalize their samples, so the ppp samples are at like minus a zillion db, and this can make it very difficult, if not impossible, to get the quiet layers to play loudly, or to re-adjust the velocity curve the way I want. ![]() In cases like that, you'd use zero velocity>volume modulation to play back the samples with their original volume curve, but this means that you'd have to use "upside down" velocity>volume modulation if you wanted the quiet stuff to be louder. Fast batch audio processor for automatic loudness adjustment and audio files splitting. So here's my very basic list of things I do to extracted wav files before re-mapping and building new instruments: I prefer to have it more like "every sample layer is normalized, and velocity>volume is used to determine the response curve". Instrument - library title - articulation - dynamic layer - root key - round robin group If I'm not going to attempt to convert the original Kontakt instrument file using Chicken Systems Translator (which can be hit or miss), but am instead going to just build new instruments from scratch using Redmatica KeyMap (which you'll have to pry from my cold, dead hands!), then I have the freedom to fix the absolutely awful sample naming conventions used by most sample developers. Where the instrument is a cello section (solo cello would be named cello instead of cellos, etc.), the library title or recording session was from SAW2, the articulation is spiccato, the dynamic layer is ff, the root key is A#2 (I always notate these as sharps instead of flats so things will alphabetize better), and the round robin layer is #2. mp3 or specify individual filenames instead of using wildcards. For batch processing (normalize volume across multiple files), normalize-audio -b. This looked as a good idea for the first moment, but it is for Android and not available in my. mp3 files in that directory, calculate normalized volume value, equal for all files, batch-rewrite all files, setting volue to that calculated medium value. ![]() (Yes, I know it's supposed to be "celli" and not "cellos", but for consistency I just use the plural - like violins vs. There is a good manpage man normalize-audio to explore the options but the commands defaults appear to work well. I'm looking for a volume normalizer, which can be fed with a directory and then: analyse all.
