Built for repetitive source material
Stop cutting hundreds of notes one by one
Sample-library work often starts with a long capture: every key of a synth, multiple round robins of a piano note, a folder of foley hits recorded in one pass, or a hardware instrument sampled across a range.
The Samples preset uses shorter timing assumptions than the rehearsal or lecture presets, so it can split small repeated sounds without treating each brief pause like speech or song structure.
Example
One take into clean samples
Before: continuous sample chain
Capture first
Record a clean sequence with consistent spacing: notes, velocities, articulations, one-shots, or room-tone variations.
Auto-cut the chain
Run the Samples preset, then inspect starts and tails before exporting the detected segments.
Build the instrument
Import the exported files into Kontakt, Decent Sampler, HALion, Falcon, SFZ tools, Logic Sampler, Ableton Sampler, or your preferred mapping workflow.
Practical sample-chain settings
Leave enough silence between sounds for the detector to see the boundary. For one-shots and notes, short gaps are fine. For long decays, let the tail finish before the next hit so the exported clip does not steal release audio from the next sample.
Drum one-shots
Tight starts, short tails, small silence gap
Synth notes
One note per pitch, stable velocity, clean release
Round robins
Repeat the same note in order, then rename consistently
Foley hits
Leave natural decay; trim noise after export if needed
