CK_Pack_10 Contents
Pack_10 is aimed at commercial SE_VST developers and supplements Pack_9 |
For information on the CK_Sample System #2 and Technical information see:- Sample_Tech
Sample Instrument (Loader) |
 Sample_Instrument This module loads 'CK_Instrument' (.CKi) files into system RAM You can use more than one 'Sample Instrument' to create 'Banks' if required However, it is recommended that 'Instruments' are loaded as and when required to reduce RAM usage RAM Storage System: (32bit, 16bit, Mixed) See Pack9 Sample_Station modules for details Loading System: (Background, Immediate) Background: All other Audio continues to play while samples are being loaded Immediate: All samples are loaded immediately causing Audio to stop and CPU Spikes Instrument File: Sets the Instrument filename to load Stereo Mode: (Mono, Stereo) If set to 'Mono' all Stereo samples are converted to Mono internally This is ideal if your synth only has a mono signal path and reduces RAM memory use Normalise(dBFS): (OFF, 0db,-6,-12,-18,-24) Samples are 'Peak Normalised' internally.(0 dBFS= +/-10v) LoFi: (OFF,1/2,1/4,1/8,1/16) All samples are 'degraded' by the Ratio resulting in 'crunchy' sounds 1/2 setting can be used in many cases to reduce RAM memory usage without too much loss of sound quality Any setting other than 'OFF' will affect Loop points - most affected would be 'wavecycle' loops Unlock Keycode: For use with 'Locked/Encrypted' files |
Sample Instrument Tool (Creator) |
 This module creates 'CK_Instrument' (.CKi) files A 'CK_Instrument' contains all the Multisampling information and all Samples in one file This makes it very easy to manage Instruments, Drum/Phrase/FX Kits etc. Destination File: Specify the filename of the 'CK_Instrument' Lock/Unlock Keycode: The 'Keycode' used to Lock/Encrypt all the sample files (6-128 characters) This makes it very easy to Lock/Encrypt all samples contained in the CK_Instrument file If left empty the samples are copied into the CK_Instrument and are prone to 'hacking' You cannot use this Locking facility on .WAV files that are already Locked Normalise(dBFS): (OFF, 0db,-6,-12,-18,-24) Samples are 'Peak Normalised' to the setting.(0 dBFS= +/-10v) Create Instrument File(button): This 'trigger' creates the file when you have finished editing Sample #1-255: Filenames of each sample .WAV |
Sample Chop ! |
  Sample Chop This module allows you to break a sample into segments which can be played on multiple notes You can create a single layer 'mini multisample' in one .wav file with the Sample_Linker_Tool (*See Below) CK_Sample_Link: Links with Sample_Station/Instrument modules if required Sample#: If using the Sample_Link this sets which sample to use Play Parameters (Sample, User, Sample->User): Sample: Uses the 'Chop' information stored in the sample file (no marker display in this mode) User: Uses the 'Chop' settings defined by the User Sample->User: Copies the Sample 'Chop' data from the sample file to the User parameters to allow changes |
Sample Wave Display |
  GDI+ graphics GDI+ graphics provides Alpha (blending), Antialiasing (smoothing) and Colour Gradients (shading) Displays the sample shape Options to highlight a sample Loop section Loop (R,G,B) colour settings (-1 turns it off) Loop_Start% and Loop_End% settings 'Reverse' display option You can display a sample region similar to a 'zoom' function (*)Very Large samples can take a short while to update the display |
Sample Wave Overlay Overlays extra Loop and Playback position markers on a CK_Sample_Wave_Display window Options:- Start%, Size%, Loop Start%, Loop End%, Sample Position%, Reverse Position (R,G,B), Loop (R,G,B), Loop_Display_Mode (L/R, Box) |
'.WAV' Sample Tools |
 Sample Linker Tool 'Links' multiple samples together into a new .WAV file Example: for creating 'Wavetable' type samples or for use with the Sample_Chop module Destination File: Specify the filename of the new '.wav' file Create File(button): This 'trigger' creates the file when you have finished editing Normalise Each Section? (dBFS): (OFF, 0db,-6,-12,-18,-24) Samples are 'Peak Normalised'.(0 dBFS= +/-10v) Sample #1-255: Filenames of each sample .WAV *Note: samples must all be of the same 'type' i.e all 16bit mono or all 16bit stereo etc Linking Mode: (Tag, Match Size#1) Sets how the samples are linked Tag: Each whole sample is 'tagged' onto the end Match Size#1: Sample#1 size sets how much data is copied from all other samples This makes is easier to create fixed 'wavetable' type samples Create 'CK' Sample_Chop_Info?: Will create 'Chop' information for use with the Sample_Chop module Combine Existing 'CK' Sample_Chop_Info?: A Sample's 'Chop' data will be combined into the new sample Sample_Chop First Note: Sets the initial note for the 'Chop' information |
 Sample Add Chop Info When used with the Sample_Chop module adds 'CK_Proprietary' sample 'Chop' information to .WAV files Wave Filename: Specify the .WAV sample filename Normalise(dBFS): (OFF, 0db,-6,-12,-18,-24) Samples are 'Peak Normalised' to the setting.(0 dBFS= +/-10v) Update File(button): This 'trigger' adds/updates 'Chop' information in the .WAV file |
 Sample Add Loop Info Adds 'CK_Proprietary' extended Loop information to .WAV files Wave Filename: Specify the .WAV sample filename Normalise(dBFS): (OFF, 0db,-6,-12,-18,-24) Samples are 'Peak Normalised' to the setting.(0 dBFS= +/-10v) Update File(button): This 'trigger' adds/updates the Loop information in the .WAV file Other Links: Other links match the 'Sample Player' modules (See Pack 9) |
 'Locks' (Encrypts) .WAV files using a 'Keycode' Locked files will not load into sample editors and the raw sample data encrypts into 'Noise' Lock/Unlock Keycode: The 'Keycode' used to Lock/Encrypt the .WAV file (6-128 characters) Normalise(dBFS): (OFF, 0db,-6,-12,-18,-24) Samples are 'Peak Normalised' to the setting.(0 dBFS= +/-10v) Source Filename: Specify the source .WAV sample filename (*Source files are not modified) Destination Path: Specifies the Destination 'Folder' where the Locked files will be saved To Use: Set the Keycode, Normalise and Destination Path then press 'Play' Select your Source files individually - each one will be Locked and saved into the Destination Folder Keep selecting files until finished |
