sfizz based sample player #9

maybe i can motivate you for this idea, which i already suggested a few weeks ago in the vcvrack community here: https://community.vcvrack.com/t/idea-sfizz-based-sample-player/10393

just to put the text here too: would anyone of the developers around here maybe be interested in writing a (preferrably open source) module using the freely available and quite good sfizz library (https://github.com/sfztools/sfizz) to use sfz samples of which there is a growing number of high quality ones around? … i tried to integrate the sfizz jack standalone sampler into my sonaremin setup, but it did not work out well as i had to add multiple audio interfaces to vcvrack to route back the audio signal from them into rack and that resulted in quite unreliable behaviour (sometimes high latency and sometimes high cpu usage) … but when i played around with it it was very nice to be able to mix the electronic sound of the vcv oscillators with organic sounds like piano or strings via the sampler … worst case one can always do it by generating midi and seinding it to a daw with some samplers, but maybe someone with the proper skills (which i am missing) likes the idea too and would like to think about implementing such a module … just an idea

best wishes - hexdump

Thanks for the idea, would be a great module. I have a couple of projects currently in progress, but this could be something to follow up with if another developer does not undertake first.

that would be amazing if you could give it a try and i think such a module would simply open up a completely new dimension for music with vcvrack. i tried to integrate it into the sonaremin on system level but in the end failed as i needed a second audio interface to get the sfizz_jack audio back into vcvrack and more than one audio interface in vcvrack does not work well. in case you have something ready and need someone to test or give feedback i'm around for sure. here is btw, an example result of my sonaremin + sfizz experiments from some weeks ago with a random based generative patch driving four sfizz voices with instrument samples: https://soundcloud.com/user-5178861/random-music-0002 ...

all the best - hexdump

ps: btw. the above example was quite limited by my generative patch experience back then - here is another later example (not with sfizz samples, but something similar should be possible with sfizz samples too): https://soundcloud.com/user-5178861/random-music-0003
