Thread: [Linuxsampler-devel] [linuxsampler-devel] Copying dimension region?

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

HI all,

How do I copy whole dimension regions to a new key/region in gigedit?
Referenced samples, dimension types, EG/LFO/Pitch settings, etc?

Thanks,

Andrew.

1. Select the dimension region you want top copy.

2. Hit Alt + C (or select "Copy selected dimension region" from the main 
menu).

3. The dimension region is now on the clipboard. Optionally you may now alter 
the copied dimension region directly on the clipboard by hitting Alt + X (or 
by selecting "Adjust Clipboard Conent" from the main menu).

4. Select the target dimension region(s) (which may be i.e. on another 
instrument).

5. Hit Alt + V to paste the clipboard content to the selected dimension 
region(s) (or select "Paste dimension region" from the main menu).

Hi,

I understand I can copy the regions, but what I'm talking about is entire
dimensions:

I cannot copy a whole region's dimensions to a new region. Nothing happens
if I alt C and alt V to a newly created region (dimensions should be made
automatically?)

Of dimensions that do get copied, if dimensions exist, it appears loop
settings and sample references do not get copied.

Could this be changed at some point? Trying to convert Auddict's Drums Of
The Deep to Gig format, just need a few QOL UX changes on the gigedit side.

Thanks,

Andrew.

That's currently the expected behavior. It intentionally omits the dimension 
type, sample reference, sample tuning and sample loop points.

The reason is because the common requirement is to leave exactly those 
untouched.

Maybe you could elaborate what exactly you are trying to achieve, in the sense 
what you want to achieve, not how you want to achieve that. Because maybe 
there is some alternative way already to achieve what you want to do.

I've used a sample conversion program to convert the already mapped kontakt
samples to gigastudio.

Samples are mapped such that you have two keys for each drum type (B2 and
C2 are hard mallets - exact same samples).

The issue I've encountered is that despite the C2 region being mapped
perfectly (sample channels, velocity), the B2 has an (unintended) layer
dimension with the velocities mapped very oddly over the two layers present
in the B2 region.

What I'm trying to achieve to just simply copy the whole C2 region (samples
and all) over to the B2 region (whether I have to outright delete it or
not), with all dimensionsj and samples referenced intact and without having
to manually remap those samples.

(odd thing is, only the b2 is acting strangely. The soft mallets, flams and
rolls in the same instrument do not have any conversion pecularities!)

Then if I am not missing anything, what you probably want to do in this case 
instead is:

1. Select region B2.

2. Delete region B2.

3. Drag the boundary of region C2 horizontally such that region C2 would cover 
the old B2 region.

That way you don't have to copy anything. You just enlarge C2's key span.

Many thanks, that worked out just as well!

Andrew.
