TIP: If you get errors when trying to convert an EXS, don't despair: most likely, the errors are just Decent Sampler complaining that it can't open the samples, but the conversion will still have taken place. To troubleshoot this, save the preset out to a file and look at it in a text editor. Check to make sure that the paths look right in the tags. Another thing to note: some EXS files make use of audio formats that Decent Sampler doesn't support (Apple's proprietary CAF format, for example). You can still do the conversion, but you will have to find a way to batch convert your CAF sample files to either WAV or AIFF format (formats that DS can read).
Tip. Check out Pamela's new workout. I got many modules, but when I got Pam's I wondered why I hadn't bought this before as it is so useful, fast and easy to understand and use, many functions and 8 outputs. I think this still is my favourite modules. If you find this intrusive, sorry.
This is a-maz-ing. the capabilities of Decent Sampler are growing exponentially! as a long time programmer, i am really impressed you were able to figure out enough of the EXS file format to make an EXS->DS converter - must have been a ton of (detective and trial-and-error) work. thanks for all your hard work, it is appreciated!
I'm continually and repeatedly blown away by what a sea change Decent Sampler has been and continues to be in the world of sampling and music production. Great software, great video, and a great instrument. Thanks again, David!
Brilliant Content, thanks for sharing, thoroughly yet simply explained Maths, disting and converting esx24 into decent sampler in under 15 minutes 👌🏾 🤯🙏🏾
Just begun my Decent Sampler journey, thank you for creating this David and for you amazing videos. I'm very excited to get in to creating some DS instruments and posting them on Piano Book. The possibilities seem endless!
I cannot overstate how incredibly useful this video is for me! Ive been wanting to get into sampling, having dabbled with the Logic Sampler, but figured Decent Sampler would be the way forward when it comes to actually distributing any libraries online. I was very intimidated by the learning curve though, so discovering it can play nicely with EXS files is HUGE news! Well. I know how I'm spending the next few months 😊 Thank you!
Guess what I'm downloading this weekend. ; ) - Decent Sampler and Pianobook have been such great assets in my recent music making journey. Thanks again Dave!!
I’ve just dipped my toe in to hardware recently and despite literally decades of having used Logic had never seen Auto Sampler before. You absolute legend 🙂
All your info was amazing. Thanks. Also, the icing on the cake was when you grabbed a location in finder and dragged it into the location in the save dialog! around 10:50. I'm using that!
I work under the name Gideon Wolf but I am terrible at having an online presence, especially on TH-cam… Anyway I think you might enjoy some of my work…maybe…!?🤪 Thanks again!🙏
Thanks David, very interesting, got a little lost when you was showing the code page so I think I will be rewatching this a few times whilst trying to make something on my Mac. As always great helpful content for a old guy trying to learn.
Hi David! Big fan of your work and decent sampler format, I think you will like Ornament & Crime (specifically the Hemispheres mode), it pairs so well with the Disting, it's a similar thing, but aimed more at modulation :)
This is mind blowingly good work! Like others have said, thank you so much for all that you're doing for sample makers and audio tinkerers alike! Your videos have been immensely helpful in my journey so far. I was wondering when using auto sampler, if you still would need to noise reduce your samples as you would typically before making an instrument?
I have the KORG gadget software for Nintendo Switch and this may be the best way forme to get all my favorite instruments into the DAW. Very important to me to get lossless samples.
Can you please make us some of those Punchy 808s 🥊. I love all the presets you made with this. Now I would love to hear some of those Modular Boomin 808s. Please make us a big library of them with your modular synth. Thanks
Awesome man keep the good work and thanks for your all stuff and decent sampler big hi5 for you for this i have some question's is this same at windows too ? how you show it and 2nd how to do with Ableton if you can show it i love to contribute in the community thanks in advance

@@jonaseggen2230 I’ve been meaning to get Pam’s workout forever. 😀

How have I never heard of the auto sampler!! The whole time!?! Thanks for this!
Me neither! Channel has to be audio for it to appear as an option.
You are a legend. Can’t wait to see the impact of your work in 5 years.

If it helps, it was only added a couple of years ago

i dont comment much at all here but i just wanted to say that you're a global hero, much love to you man
what a gem! awesome plugin, thank you!
Love all your videos! You're AWESOME David! - JR (new sub & fan)
Amazing clear and explaining video. Keep it up!
0:02 - classic newage modular synth technique there - tweeking the Indoor Plant
Thank you David!
Wonderful video. Thank you!
Really like this one David. Already used in some sound design / music experiments and works excellently as a source to process…👊
I work under the name Gideon Wolf but I am terrible at having an online presence, especially on TH-cam…
Anyway I think you might enjoy some of my work…maybe…!?🤪
Thanks again!🙏
The next phase of the revolution starts here! DAVE FTW!
Excellent much appreciated Thank you

Excellent. Very nice indeed😎!
Excellent..thank you.
Bravo David, Way cool stuff. I really should not watch videos about modular though, it's the gift that keeps on costing 😁
Excellent video
Hi David! Big fan of your work and decent sampler format, I think you will like Ornament & Crime (specifically the Hemispheres mode), it pairs so well with the Disting, it's a similar thing, but aimed more at modulation :)
So now I can make any Decent Sample Library from a VCV rack patch.
Great.
excellent video... subscribed!!
I have no idea about Synths but damn this is so impressive! Maybe I’ll start learning about them since I’ve only done aoucustic music :)
THANK YOU!
Thanks for the video. I just got the Dist Mk4 and I’m like how the hell am I gonna remember all those function and numbers. 🤣

By the way, I left a question in the DS Q&A page about tempo syinc'ing, which I understand is not yet implemented in DS, yes?
U are now a eurocracker,
u know it!
Me too 🖖❤🇦🇹
Awesome man keep the good work and thanks for your all stuff and decent sampler big hi5 for you for this i have some question's is this same at windows too ? how you show it and 2nd how to do with Ableton if you can show it i love to contribute in the community thanks in advance
Blessed by the OS, lol
Betutifull studio :)
I don't use Logic since I have no Mac. Is there any other sampler to create exs24 format files?
Good stuff, just need a batch convert option so i can move all my samples from mars onto the ipad :)
1:30 Stranger Things moment.
8:46-8:08
the succulent hah
Genial
How I wish I was smart enough to understand even a fraction of this ! 😕
edin bro ? ffs
This was great, except your wonky pronunciation of Edinburgh. Ed-in-bra'
