The original developer was gracious enough to provide the source in Ruby and I took the opportunity to recode it for added functionality. Here's my version: link
Unfortunately, you need to have Ruby installed to get this to work, as I can't figure out how to compile it.
If anyone here knows how to do this they could help me out a lot! Ruby is very easy to install. (Windows instructions: )
(If anyone knows how to run Ruby on OSX post the instructions please.
)Download and run the one click installer for Windows: link (25MB)
Also, this program uses GUI elements from wxRuby which can be downloaded here:
link (4MB). This is a Ruby extension. Save it to your desktop, open up a command prompt and cut and paste these commands to install it:
cd Desktop
gem install wxruby-1.9.9-x86-mswin32-60.gem
You should now be able to run the app just by double clicking on init.rb after unzipping the file provided.
Here's what it does:
This app takes all the audio files from a directory and makes a Reaktor map for them, so you don't have to deal with Reaktor's sample map editor (which is a piece of junk). The major functionality I added is that if you separate your samples into folders, the app will generate a Reaktor map for each subdirectory of a chosen folder. If you organize your samples well, you can automatically generate Reaktor maps for your entire sample library.
The other thing I added is something more useful to me and I'll explain it here. The Reaktor sampler modules have the ability to select a different sample by key, but also by velocity (starting at velocity = 1). The module needs to be configured properly in order to do this, and I don't think any of the ensembles Reaktor is packaged with do this...
Anyways, since you can trigger samples by key (0-127) and velocity (1-127), this means you can load up to 16256 samples into a single Reaktor sampler module! The app allows you to map directories to velocities, and this will map each subdirectory to a different velocity, allowing you to load your entire sample library into a SINGLE REAKTOR MAP!!! Automatically!
This is much better than trying to enter in a thousand samples by hand. (Believe me, I've tried!)
Unless I can resolve the compilation issue, I'll have to restart this little project in another language. This is probably a good idea anyways.
If you get it running, let me know what you think by ways of extra features.
Thanks!
