because Renoise is sample oriented i would love to have sample browser function like Reaper has
-> means you can search for files recursively.
If i write kick, it shows various_kick files_in all the subfolders.
btw. how do you organize your simple library in Renoise?
If i download some multi-sample pack, there are one-shot samples, loops etc. in different folders
so when i am looking for some kick i usually forgot to look at_/samples/multisamples/musicradar/grimesamples/oneshots/drums/kick1.wav_ for example
Yes, and please “AND” clause for search, too! And in plugin list?? So the search string “kick 80s” will match “super duper 80s collection/606 kick 1.wav” , “kick80s.wav” and “kick 80s.wav”. Or let’s say “wav strings”.
Even more advanced “format:wav,32bit size:>4mb” ok this goes to far now. I think the upper suggestion + and clause is not that time consuming to implement.
Btw. is there a way to reduce Renoise’s constant directory reading? For example, using filesystem’s change events instead?
After downloading tons of samples from Music Radar etc., I was also looking for something like this. The free Resonic version is very promising, it can also play midi track previews.
And I found this open source project AuralProbe. It scans complete directory trees and has a clever algorithm that categorizes your samples by using wildcards and regular expressions, while leaving your original files and directories untouched - worth a try. Besides preview (pre-listen) function It also supports drag and drop directly into Renoise.https://sourceforge.net/projects/auralprobe/- right mouse button reveals the sample directory in the explorer.
Of course it is not (yet) in Renoise. But maybe a good idea to implement.
