spalding1968 I'm happy in your last post read something that makes everything more clear.
You've mentioned something good:
resampling.
answer this please:
can people resample a sample-based hardware music instrument sound from the instrument audio output?
if you say yes, it is exactly what what Lionstracs sound developer is doing with Extreme Sampler Editor.
Lionstracs does not cloning the wave data from the rom chip but they resample the sounds produced from a electric instruments output.
first you select some keys on extreme sampler Gui interface and you select the layers you like to have for the sound. extreme sampler editor send first midi message to instrument sound device and then record the produced sounds from instrument sound device audio output, the wave data you get is not the same as the Wave data on rom chip and also not edited. the wave data is not the same becouse you do not know which key is the main key used for wave data on romchip, You do not know how many layers the wave data on rom chip has,You do not know how many waves used for the sound on rom chip,you do not know the looppoints, you do not know the sample rate used for wave data on romchip, you do not know if the wave data on rom chip is stereo or mono..............many other things and Diki says this is not allowed to do.
read my last post please too, and answer.
