I tried to import samples from the Propellar Island cd of gamelan samples on the fly (without knowing what I'm doing because I dont' have a manual) it doesn't seem to recognize the kind of file they are in and the Propellar Island Documentation doesn't really say what kind of file it is. It plays in Windows Media Player just fine though. How do I import samples?

Jan 29, 2006 07:39 pm Can you see them in windows explorer? If so they might be wav files if WMP plays them. As well there might be multiple formats of the file on the CD. If they are wave files most sampler applications should be able to import them. I would assume EmulatorX can at least import a couple of differant formats. Possibly their native format as well as wav files.
Adding this together with your other thread I am wondering if the installation was corrupt when installing the software for EmulatoX.
Feb 03, 2006 03:17 am I don't really understand the question; "Can you see them in windows explorer?"
I thought I had windows xp. Anyway, I was able to import, kind of, because I can find a folder with the samples saved which shows them as Windows Media Player documents. That is strange though because I downloaded them using Wave Lab Lite.
When I close Wave Lab for the night and run it again the next morning and click on Open I can't find the files to save my life.
It had originally showed all these beautiful colored strips. Do I have to save them again and the download is only temporary? How do I save them? I've tried but can't seem to find a way.
I'm really kind of clueless about how all this works. I've been a composer not a knob tweaker which I've put off learning for too long.

Feb 03, 2006 11:22 am Here's something that'll help you sort out which files are which...
Right-click on "My Comupter" and select "Explore". This brings up Windows Explorer, the single most useful built-in application in the Windows family.
In the menu bar, click on Tools->Folder Options...
Click on the "view" tab.
In the Advanced Settings window, find the checkbox for "Hide extensions for known file types". UNcheck this box.
Click OK.
Now, when you browse your computer's contents, you'll see the extension after all of the filenames, so you can immediately tell what file type any file is.
I'd bet that the ones in question are .WAV. If one appliaction can't open them, they may be at too high of a bit resolution. Maybe they're 32-bit and your app only supports up to 24-bit? That's a problem I have in Cubase SE, when opening files that were saved by other applications.
