Members program_insect Posted October 10, 2006 Members Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hello, just wondering if anybody has bothered to hack the Electro sample format (or whether Clavia might have released a utility for this)...it would be awesome if you could overwrite the piano samples with a sample set of your own choosing (like a nice analog string set or something)...seems like a missed opportunity that Clavia doesn't officially allow you to do this...any news?

Members mate_stubb Posted October 11, 2006 Members Share Posted October 11, 2006 Nope. Not going to happen IMO. Clavia is a small company and spare resources they have will go to improving their libraries, and delivering some sounds promised long ago (pianet).

Members program_insect Posted October 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 11, 2006 I agree that it probably won't happen, however they surely must have a tool already built which they use to load their official sample libraries into Electro format, and my naive ass doesn't understand why they couldn't simply release that to the public.

Members -groovatious- Posted October 12, 2006 Members Share Posted October 12, 2006 They're probably worried it would take a lot of the 'Mystery' out of the electro. And they don't want to have to support ppl stuffing up their electros. And someone will probably release a better sample library for it and start profiting from it. There's no doubt many more reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dgelas Posted October 12, 2006 Members Share Posted October 12, 2006 may be a good programmer (that's not me !) guy could create the software which allows to convert different samples formats to Clavia one.perhaps it already exists ? we have to check on the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members program_insect Posted October 12, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2006 Not necessarily...This would only be impossible if Clavia had encrypted the loadable sample sets in some way, which may or may not be the case. If it's not the case, it wouldn't be too hard to download one of their free sample sets and hack the header format, replacing the PCM data with whatever you wanted and adjusting the header so that it can still be read by the sound upload utility.If it's encrypted you would be SOL I guess.

Members dgelas Posted October 12, 2006 Members Share Posted October 12, 2006 Even if it's encrypted there are guys who can decrypt codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members program_insect Posted October 12, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2006 That's true, there's no such thing as an unbreakable code...but even a simple encryption scheme would make this hack orders of magnitude more difficult.
