Re: Writing sound members

[Andreas Gaunitz P11]

Wow, I'm not sure I can explain this more clearly... I'll try though: There is a program supplied with the Xtra, called Beatnik Editor Pro. In BEP you import midi files and samples. You create instruments from the samples, by giving them a key range, filter settings, loop settings etc. The midi notes, and the instruments they will use, are then compiled into a file called RMF file. The .RMF file is what the Xtra plays, and what I would call a MIDI file on steroids.

all true. now you've got my curiosity going though -- if you're not providing samples, where is the origination of the sound? through different clips the user supplies? just tones? .....?

I have the beatnik Xtra. IIRC it cannot alter sounds at all in the sense of writing a sound to a member or a "RAM slot".

What it does is it lets you import sound setups made up of samples (cycled or one shot), and it can apply filtering and some fx (a rudimantary reverb etc) to the sounds.

It's good for what it does - sort of a quicktime instrument/ midi file on steroids, but all setup work with the samples needs to be done beforehand and then "compiled" into a file (like a midi file w/ sounds included) and supplied to the xtra.
