microSAMPLER Editor / Librarian — v1.8.0

This release adds two librarian-focused features:
slicing one sample across many pads, and pulling individual samples out of a backup.

Highlights

  • Auto-slice
    • Chop a long sample into consecutive pads, by equal pieces or detected transients.
  • Cherry-pick restore
    • Copy a single sample out of a backup into any pad, without restoring the whole bank.

Auto-slice

Drop a WAV onto a pad (or open the upload dialog) and press the new SLICE… button.
You can cut the sample two ways:

  • Equal: into a number of equal-length pieces you choose.
  • Transients: at detected note/hit onsets, with a sensitivity slider; ideal for drum breaks and chopped phrases.

A live preview shows how many slices you'll get and which pads they'll fill.
Each slice is uploaded to consecutive pads and named after the source sample.
The upload audio tools (normalize, trim, gain, fades, mono/stereo) apply to the whole sample before it's sliced.

Cherry-pick restore

Every backup now has a SAMPLES… button.
It lists the samples in that backup by name and lets you copy any one of them into a pad of your choice in the current bank.
The dialog stays open, so you can grab several in a row.
It's the quick way to reach back for "that snare from last month's bank" without overwriting everything.

Other improvements

  • Samples imported by slicing, cherry-pick or a multi-WAV drop now load into the app immediately, so their waveforms are instant and the memory meter stays exact, no more lazy loading.
  • A new MSMPL_BACKUP_DIR environment variable lets you keep bank backups somewhere other than the default folder, such as an external drive.

Install
