I'm probably not thinking straight, and I'm definitely not an STS expert, so excuse me if I sound really stupid. I just bought a really nice CD of orchestral wav. samples but don't know how to get/record the different key groups into one sample so that I can play more than one octave without it sounding crap. Can anyone please help.
P.S. does this make sense?

I'm not an STS xpert but what you can do is group several samples in keygroups .
I don't think you can load keygroups in a sample..
In one program (instrument), you load a sample in the keygroup window and you can set the keyboard range/root key of that sample, and do the same for other samples etc.
hope it helps

Ricardo, did you want to say that you do several keygroups in a MULTISAMPLE? That makes sense. I would say, only with a multisample you can make good sounding tracks. If you have good orchestral samples, I'm sure you have wav-files like "violin c3", "oboe g#4" etc. Put ALL wav-files of one instrument in a multisample and give every sample his own keygroup. Be sure that nothing is overlapping.
Hope I could help, Thomas

So let me get this straight in my head. If I have a .wav file that has violin E0,G0, A#0 etc. I cut each wave envelope into separate files and add them to a multisample with their own keygroups. Then I save the whole thing as 'violin.sts' for example.
Thanks for your input, this forum is excellent!

You're right, Ricardo. And always give attention on the root key of every key group, otherwise you have unwanted tranpositions.
Have fun, Thomas

OK I've got it happening! Thanks again to you both.
