e2sEdit: an editor for the electribe sampler

dschroeter · Post by **dschroeter** » Fri Jul 24, 2015 3:14 am

NOTE: This should be considered beta software. Back up your e2sSample.all BEFORE you use it!

Please kick the tires and let me know if you find a bug!

NOTE 2: I am not a programmer. If you are and know how to get this hosted on something like github, let me know!

Oh man you are my hero!
If it works correctly

edit:
Great work man!
1. It would be awesome if it could import samples in bulk
2. It saves automatically? Dont see any save button
3. What do the columns Ld and Tn mean?

Thanks for trying it! Not sure how to handle multiple files, but I'll look into it. Yes, it saves automatically, just close it when you are done. Ld is Loudness (aka Play Level) and Tn is Tuning.

Great stuff. I'm SE I can help you with hosting it on Github (and probably with code if you need (omg its Swing and all in one class, my eyes are bleeding ^^))

Thanks for the offer to help. I thought I made it clear but I'll note it once again: I'm not a programmer and I know this code is horrific. On the other hand, it works.

It's great someone is creating an editor like this though. If you wish and got time, I could help sort things out.

I could kiss you. I cannot WAIT to get home and try this out. You are truly a god among men for taking the initiative here. I wonder - how did you build this without coding? How'd you get your head around the e2s file format?

Soooo clutch! Thank you.

I "wrote" it in Java with Eclipse, but I've never had any formal coding training. It's a hodge-podge of hacks that I googled, copy-pasted, and forced into working. The tough part was figuring out the file format, but fortunately there isn't anything too cryptic in that. The slicing data is really strange, but that's pretty easily done on the device, as opposed to things like renaming a sample, which is much easier on a PC.

So far this thing is brilliant and I really appreciate the work you put into this. I found some bugs and I'll report here - hope it helps.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.10.4. Software works just fine. I ran into a couple of issues when I was trying to load my newly edited .all file into the sampler.

1. I added a bunch of stereo samples to the .all file that I know played fine when I loaded them in via the e2s' sample import menu. but for some reason, I got a format error when I tried to load the file. I couldn't figure out if this was an issue with an individual sample but I do know for certain I wasn't going over the 270 sec sample limit. Not super helpful, I know but this points out that there are format errors for some reason along the way.

2. The Seconds Remaining indicator doesn't seem to go any lower than 230 seconds. I keep adding samples and while it's got the # of samples count correct it won't give me a number below 230 so I'm never totally sure of how much time my samples take up.

Other than this stuff it seems to be working well! I have to say, the ability to change categories and quickly rename files is really useful! I just wish there were some way for the software to catch potential errors with samples or formatting ahead of time but I'm not so picky when something this great lands in my lap

My immediate wishlist:

-drag and drop samples into the main window
-add multiple samples at one time
-select more than one sample to edit parameters for at a time
-drag and drop for sample re-ordering

You're a hero!

Cool! I was hoping it would run on a Mac; I'm PC-only but that's why I chose Java.

On the site I have more info about your problem, but basically some programs generate .wav files with poorly-formatted headers. These will cause a host of problems, including the remaining time inaccuracy. I think loading them into Audacity or similar and re-saving should solve it.

EDIT: Confirmed with a real-world test. I loaded a .wav with a garbage header into Audacity and exported it. This fixed the header as well as reducing the file size from 70kb to 3kb!

To be honest, the application does what I want and I've put up the source. I was hoping coders in the community would take it from here.

Or maybe Korg will make a Sample Librarian like they used to for every sampling product? J/k LOL brb /s

That's completely fair. You've done more than enough here! I do hope that someone in the community is able to take it a bit further. If I had the talents required I would be all over this. Even in its current state it works great so thanks again.

Working on it. Porting over to JavaFX first. This will take a while though.
I will ofc only realse anything if dschroeter approves.
