Root note of a sample

[Mr. DeeKay]

Hi community,

does the lemon drop auto detect the root note of a sample or is there a way to set the root note of a chosen sample to make shure it is pitched correctly over the keyboard?

Pitch Tracking should be the keyword here I think.

Looking forward for your replies.

Greetings!

The lemondrop does read the root note in the corresponding wav tag embedded in the wave file. It then shifts from that point based on the incoming MIDI pitch. An example of a sampler that not only reads but also writes root note wav tags is the blackbox and bitbox. This is the basis for multisample playback.

BUMP For hopefully an answer

It uses the incoming MIDI pitch regardless of the octave/note.

Hi Steve, as far as I understand Mr DeeKay's question, this doesn't answer the rootnote-question.
Is there a way that the Lemondrop uses a rootnote information in a wav-sample (eg. rootnote 'A')? Or is a sample always played in original pitch when played by a MIDI-'C'-note?

[Mr. DeeKay]

herrmars You are right! My questions referred not to a live input into the lemondrop but to samples for audio import in the layers of the lemondrop. It is a C I guess - so lemondrop treats it as a C note. Which exact C I haven't found out yet. Maybe a C2 but I don't know 100%. Wanted to test that but most of the loaded samples are not playing back correctly in the Lemondrop because there is a weird distortion going on

How does this go unanswered for so long...either this is an active forum or just a way to ask the air and hope for a message in a bottle?

I don't think it does. I've been pitching everything to a sine.

What happens if may wave file has no tag "root note"?
