Creating a Distributed Wave Instrument
Begin by creating a new Distributed Wave instrument in one of the MIDI Mixer port
channel slots. Proceed with a QuickSound search for *.wav files in the drive/folder tree
view. Select the *.wav option from the favorites drop-down menu in the QuickSound
search field.
From this point we can select one or more waves from the search results displayed in
the center instrument list display. See the QuickSound tutorial and reference section for
more details on sorting the display. In our example, we have selected 32 wave files and
dragged them to the C3 key on the Audition Panel keyboard.
With a multiple file drag-and drop operation, the wave files automatically load up
on the keyboard starting at the note they are dragged to, and continue chromatically
up the scale. This is just one quick option for loading multiple files. If we wanted to load
files to specific keys, we could just drag one at a time. It all depends on what your needs
are. To help you to sort very quickly though, this Audition Panel was designed for han-
dling multiple selections intelligently. Now that we have dragged more waves than we
will probably want to keep for this project, we can begin to audition and sort the waves
using a connected keyboard or clicking the keys directly with the mouse.
Notice that each note you play to triggers a wave file, causing its respective key to
darken and its file name to be highlighted in the Audition Panel wave list.
