Add autoseek to Sample Slicer

[It-Alien]

grumpf. I will give a look at it again then, sorry

Hmm, i updated it, but it still creates and maps 9 slices instead of 8. Again, it’s not a real problem, for the last sample is empty.
Some information: The sample is the Amen break (surprise! ) initially synced to 32 lines (but it does the same if i unsync the sample first).
Setup: I sliced it to 8 parts, synced to 4 lines, no loop, no autoseek (there is autoseek, so it’s the correct version).
Result is: 9 samples 00-08 (=9) and 9 mapped keys, up to G#.
I’m using beta2 on Win 7, haven’t tried on my XP machine yet…
However, i can live with that. Thanks again for that tool, saves a lot of work! Mille grazie!

edit:typo

thats weird,i just tried what you described and it works fine here,get 8 slices,im on win xp

I’d better change the whole way the sample creation loop works: currently, it produces samples until the number of frames of the created samples is less than the number of frames of the original samples, but this is prone to rounding errors: it may even be that it actually works on XP while it doesn’t on Seven (haven’t tried it yet).

I should probably change it so that it precalculates the number of slices to create and then create them

I just tested it on my XP machine: same “problem” there…

Will eventually have to figger this Lua thing out myself for personal hackage, but I wouldn’t mind seeing the ability to set a ‘fading offset in ms’ for the beginning and or end portions of slices. This to remove clicks. Great tool as it is now though

Sorry to bother you again (esp. because this might not be exactly the right thread for this) IT-Alien,

but i tried, just for fun, to slice the Apache yesterday (4, 8, 16 slices). And guess what, it worked correctly!
Also when i sliced Amen to only 4 slices, everything was fine. But 16 slices produced again 17 samples…
I think you’re on the right track, that smells like some sort of rounding error.
Btw, i used those loops “out of the box” (the ones that come with Renoise), so i didn’t use any “exotic samples”.

Might be a missing math.floor() option that might do the trick perhaps?

I don’t think so. as I said above, the whole way how it is coinceinved the slices creation loop should be revised. I will try to work at it this evening

sounds good It

[It-Alien]

I have uploaded version 1.12 which is now based on a for loop. the last slice could be slight smaller or larger for a bunch of bytes in order to round up the same number of bytes of the source sample.

tested up to 64 slices

posted a error on the tools page,it happens when i choose seconds,also happens in the new version

[It-Alien]

whoop, it was a typo. fixed (the version is still 1.12)

thanks

awesome, works perfect! thanks a lot!
