Good luck with sampling these sounds. A few volunteers with love for the Wersi sound have agreed to evaluate your demo once you are finished. Do you think you will finish all the work by the end of july. To be honest I have know idea how long it actually take to record sampling material and convert them into a useful virtual instrument, so hopefully I have not caused to much stress on your part.

1) Am I presuming correctly that the advertised new style editor, is the style editor you mentioned as part of the TransAudio Custum?

2) What are your views of converting the Hauptwerk libraries I own, so that they will become an integral part of the TransAudio Custum sound engine? 8)

I'll be waiting

You are making it happen mr TransAudio/ mr Agaton

@ Mr. TransAudio/ mr. Agaton: How did the sampling of the WersiMatic go?

Ok, I will be waiting the first samples then as soon as you have time

Congratulations mr TransAudio/ mr Agaton.

This is what mr. Hawenue wrote me today and my reply:
'Hi Phil,
today i made a test of WM24 sounds from agaton with Polyphase SF2 Editor.

Sounds like the real WM24 (over 20 years ago a tested a WM24), but i dont have one WM24 in the Moment to exact compare the sound.
I own a wersi spectra for compare!

@ Hawenue: Thank you for your evaluation: it is very encouraging to hear that mr. Agaton could deliver on his promise. I hope that mr. Agaton will also be able to sample some specific Wersi Spectra sounds: with 16 bit Wave Form Sampling , in which every voice is made of three subvoices, thus making it possible to construct your own sounds :: certainly warmer than the earlier 12bit organs, but these iron sounding organs (and it's drum machines) had a charm of their own if used with the appropriate choice of voice, and thanks to mr. Agaton a good old Wersimatic WM24 drummachine will be added to the TA custum soudnd engine ::) :-* . I also very much hope that mr Agaton will be able to get his hands on a good Wersi Helios however, and sample it's many variations, inclusive the airy sounds. I believe that Claus Wonderlich in terms of contemporate organ playing is kind of a 'golden standard' - for me at least: he really added soul and fun while playing the Wersi Helios.'

I do hope the heatwave is not slowing down the release date of your TransAudio Custom!

Keep on the good work mr TransAudio: mr Agaton 8)

Are you getting close to releasing the Trans Audio Sound Engine?
How big will the GM bank be?
And do you have a price yet?
I would like to hear samples of the guitars too.

Congratulations in advance You must have put in a great deal of hours to finish your project in the set time frame Please include me in your communications and demo announcments.

While you were working, I was 'playing' with the Sampletank 3 library: and it leaves much to be desired: lesly on the Hammond is much faster on the higher tones than the lower ones, which means the tones were just transposed without time stretch. Slow program change implementation: even on my 24 gb system it takes more than 3 minutes to load a preprogrammed 'Live'set of songs that each contain16 sounds, and after it is loaded it takes well over a second to switch from song to song, but worst of all when combining the sounds together in a midifile setting not many voices can be selected before the system gets overloaded (and makes a crackling sound). What is handy, is that all sounds can be easily loaded the same way, so for live playing without the use of midi files it is ok to good, but the sound quality is not super.

So I can't wait to hear the result of your optimized Audio Windows8 and determine if the soundengine can handle the heavy load of MIDI instructions of v-Aranger and if all sounds are just as geniously put together as the TransAudio Hq Clarinet.

I am also more and more convinced that my soundcard will not be able to handle the required processing speeds, as playing mp3 is evidently not the same as generating multipe sounds based on multiple midicommands per second. SO I think I will follow your advice and buy a second hand RME as I do not want it to intefere with my purchace of the TA custum sound engine. So I saw a 'RME Multiface incl. HDSP (PCI) for 275 euro. I am concerned that this older soundcard may not have the necessary drivers to work with the your optimesed Windows 8, since I read this quote '
The Hammerfall(R) DSP System comes with drivers for Windows 98/ME (MME with multi-client operation, ASIO 2.0, GSIF), Windows 2000/XP (full multi-client operation of MME, GSIF and ASIO 2.0) and MacOS (ASIO 2.0.) ' on http://www.zzounds.com/item--RMEMULTI

Do I need to be concerned that this soundcard will break, because it is old? Do you have an indication of the price in euros when is first came out?

Were you able to actually sample the Wersi sounds?
