Great timing on this because I just bought a library with true legato samples and I was wondering how it all worked. You do a great job explaining the process, and I have ended up with a greater respect for the library which I purchased which has implemented the legatos very effectively.
Thanks for the continous effort and contribution to the music community. And for still supporting the SFZ format, even though we now have your great Decent Sampler format too (I would completely understand if you focussed your efforts on DS). I'm really looking forward to the Decent Sampler version of this tutorial, since I'm curious about any syntax / technical differences between the two formats.
Thanks. If there since editor to make complex sounds, envelopes, velocity layers, and all that with being able to play while tweaking the sound? (Like kontakt for example)
Hello, David! ) Thank you very, very much for these sampling tutorials! Though when I am trying to copy-paste samples into the text editor (I tried Sublime Unregistered and Notepad++) nothing happens and when I import my sfz file Sforzando says that the project is empty. How may it be fixed?
Thanks man, I was thinking of sampling a friends sax, and might think about very limited (so I don't get beat up) legato samples in one key. LIke in E from G to A, A to B and D to E, That should cover most Bruce Springsteen songs!
Wouldn't it be 36 + 35 notes because for each two notes you gotta record the transition, lets say you have 5 notes that means you record 4 transitions which is just addition?
Great video! I wish there were more legato libraries for sforzando (well, there are none!). I Will make one when I got the time. So people let's get NI ruined! XD. By the way, will Decent sampler ever allow trigger legato? It would be great. Come on everybody lets make legatos!
Me too! Do you know if there are any legato libraries, that have been made in the meantime? I would love to get my hands on one without having to buy kontakt.
@@Devon_38 I only know about Karoryfer samples making two solo vocal libs with true legato (on sale right now). And I am preparing some for Decent sampler (yes it has true legato now!) but it will take time to get them ready.
@@clearyell-orestesgas Thank you very much for the answer! What kind of library are you working on and where will I be able to find it once it's finished?
@@Devon_38 They will be solo vocals first and other things Will come in the future. but it's gonna time... I will let you know when they're ready. In the meantime, you can take some free or cheap kontak libs and port them to SFZ or DS, I did it with Claire solo by Ivy audio and it works perfectly (but I can't publish it )
If only someone could develop a sampler that has a built-in pitch detection which is able to split recordings of long notes and find the correct legato transitions and its positions in the recording automatically without all that manual slicing, bouncing, scripting and tweaking. That would be a pretty... decent sampler!

Sch a gargantuan effort, mate, thanks for this and thanks in advance for the next Decent Sampler and Kontakt legato videos
Lately I've gotten into sampling and I've been wondering how one could add portamento to synth patches. Thank you for this!
Thank you, Sir, you are a nice Teacher
That was lovely!
Hi. If lokey, hikey and pitch_keycenter are the same, you can just shorten it to key, for example, key=C4.
Quite cool, and interesting to see how far sfz can be pushed.
Awesome informative videos you make thank you!
Great tutorial!!!

A difficult instrument to sample and a lot of work to make it sound authentic.
Thank you!

how to do pitch bend in decent sampler?
hi, and...how do you copy your wave file's name into sublime?
Hello David, how can we contact you?

@@clearyell-orestesgas Great! Wow, I didn't know that was possible! Is it easy to port them and is there a good tutorial out there?
I would have thought that you only need legatos for notes that are played on the same string
Noob question but is this implemented in kontakt in exactly the same way or is there a different process?
In the description it says that he will show the process for Kontakt and Decent Sampler in a separate video!

No kidding! How wonderful that would be!
Please sample all of your string instruments with legato samples and then consider offering them to us for free!! ;-)
