exactly what oliver just said, just like on the roland S series (I love those samplers, just bought me a S 770, its a beast!)
@ Todd
Mostly what I was saying, if you load some WAVs from the computer that you have already found the loop points for onto the WTPA SD card, when you put that card in and try to load those samples will those loop points be retained or will you have to find them all over again on the WTPA?
I'm guessing you'd have to find them again since wavs don't save loop points in their file structure. Only your DAW saves those points. I'd recommend a beat slicer like beat cleaver to slice up things based on loop points you've found.
.WAV files do save loop points if you use a dedicated loop point editor, not a daw. I usually find loop points (using loop finder) and save the WAV files to zip drive then import them on my yamaha sampler and they are reflected on the sampler as well. The trick is to use a dedicated sample manager program, not a DAW.
Zip drive? Do they have wifi zip disks yet? Is there wifi SCSI? ;)
Wouldn't it be sweet if your wtpa-2 (or any other sampler ftm)
had a USB port with which you could swap files and view/edit
on your smartphone/netbook/laptop?
Its a bomb program, makes finding loops a hell of a lot easier, definitely better when opposed to Logic's archaic loop point editor and ableton's rather awful one as well.
What OS platform are ya wanting to be using for the file exchange?
For PC: Anyone tried Wavosaur? How's Acid recently?
I haven't fired up Wavelab for awhile but there's a sites list below
that might have a couple -
On the Mac- is Recycle or Peak still relevant or has Live taken that
functionality over? How bout progs like fxpansion's Guru? Does it
transfer loops points? Anyone try the-Redmatica "Compendium" for
Logic's EXS sampler with the keymaps, autosampler and exs manager?
They advertise/review it as time saver + proprietary editing for
everything for EXS loops. MAX/MSP might be easier once you get
going on it.
Cuz WTPA2 comes out THIS summer and WE got da jump!
Or.. my brief bout of sesquipedalian loquaciousness
has gotten da jump on me. You and the WTPA2 may
have already made the jump over to another universe
with the technological singularity you have achieved with it-
that is now way beyond the event horizon of human musical
and technological intelligence? I think I musta got lost back
around three blackholes and a parallel universe ago. After
the quantum reverse gravity coriolis effect back in early 2010.
Well, it's true whatever happens you got the jump :-)
WTPA2 has really taken a hit from Calvin's doors. There's really so little left at this point, only a few days, but I'm working weekends and the like making these durn robots.
Same as usual, I guess.

I'd be a happy chappy right now.

Cool video!
Re: quiet--
Sorry. I've been off the forum for a bit because I was out in Silicon Valley communing with the Great Old Nerds. So inspiring!
Anyway, I came back re-invigorated about electronics. Hopefully this will translate into WTPA2 progress.
so, in anticipation of that day, i know it has been mentioned that forum nerds gets a headstart, how's that gonna work? like it's available for a sec to the loyal and then the general public gets to know? gawd i would just hate to spend such a very long time checking this board every other day to wake up one morning and have missed out. or be caught off guard without having kept my hands out of my wtpa piggybank....
I'll announce it here first, and to a list of people who've emailed me to ask to be told when it comes out.
Then after that, I'll send it into the blogosphere.
The good news is that I will likely post about progress I've made here FIRST, so it shouldn't be a complete surprise when the sampler comes out. Also, I have 300 units, which at least in 2008 (or whenever WTPA1 came out) would have taken months to sell out.
one day my synth will come, where are my teeth, what was I writing about, I remeber hop hip, clip hop, trip not, smallie big, what did we call it? Todd help! where is the party at? we are getting oooooollllldddd. Nice whining eh?
How am I gonna one up Kaoss-type live vocal sample twisting
of Skrillex and Purity Ring- on the fly? No laptop plz. Hmmm.
Wonder how a WTPA3 would fare in this dept?
'Everyone's thirsty for the party- ver. 2!!
We got da jump and lapped the energy vs.
time continuum 2x cuz ver. 3 of "next summer"
will be here in about 60 days, correct?
Firmware, work, holidays must still be in the
queue before anyone else gets their hands on
any of the 300+ WTPA-2's - of which only a
couple dozen have "escaped" so far. ;-)

singularity in the WTPA2 firmware development!;)
My sesquipedalian loquaciousness is banned!
sesquipedalian loquaciousness = tourettes-like
outbursts on the forum.
Is that the "Calvin" with the "I, Robot" doors (Pt. 2?)
Starring Jaden Smith?

Cannot wait for the wtpa 2.
I know you won't take pre orders but I don't want to miss out on a kit!

WTPA2 is gonna get done. Someday.

a fine day that will be indeed...
