Hey fellas!
I notice that no Linux samplers seem to support wav file loop points.
All Windows DAWs that I have used support the format and there are a
lot of samples out there with perfect loop points which is very
useful. I have no idea whether this is part of the spec or not but
these looppoints have been used for more than 15 years, that's for
sure, since some of these sample collections have been around during
tracking days. I did find something on loops here:
http://www.sonicspot.com/guide/wavefiles.html But I think you, devs,
know better than me anyway.
I think it would be great if LMMS, samplers like Petri-Foo would
support this, as this adds a lot of functionality. Many sample
collections provide perfect loops and it is tiresome to have to try to
remake it by hand each time, while in some software it is simply
impossible at all.
Don't know about LMMS, but Petri-Foo and Specimen do handle loop points.
If you set "Playback" to "Loop" on the Sample tab (the first tab, the
one that shows a picture of your sample's waveform), you can then
double-click on the waveform display window and get a dialog to come up
that gives quite a lot of control over setting the loop points for that
sample. There are some videos on YouTube that demo this -- search for
"Specimen sampler" there.
