While I guess to understand the idea, I disagree and recommend to handle this tasks individually/manually. I don't use Ardour for MIDI, but it doesn't mater regarding to my opinion about your feature request. Good samples need layers, how should layers be detected? Your request likely is possible as long as no features a sampler should provide are needed, IOW a sampler automagiocally only could provide what you can do by copying the segment, so simply copy the segment, is less resource hungry. As soon as you want the features a sampler provides, I doubt that just "move file.wave to sampler-midi note on x" could do the trick. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
