  oh man I read through that thread, amazing tracker... especially the chord features, looks like v1.3 expanded it and added a nice circle of fifths:
  
  
  
  
  Antiwave is pretty cool too!
  Pretty impressive, not bad for $35
  
  I dont get trackers... and I couldnt get midi exporting anything.

  Trackers are just step recorders with detailed digital readout, Somehow it freaks some people out... "I can't take that matrix code baloney man!" Yup, actually seen that...
  
  Yeah I wish I woulda been aware enough of it to buy it before Developer went away. Tried to see if I could find him somewhere but no luck...
  
  In the latter versions there was vertical curve drawing right there in the pattern editor...

  hahaha it does look a bit matrix like.
  
  
  The svar dev used what looks to me like a real name on that renoise post, maybe find him using that?
  The paypal link used on the old site still is live, but it doesnt show the email, only svar.
  
  Maybe drop a comment on his video?
  The warmplace.ru is Russian, maybe someone there knows of him? or a cracker, that's probably the last resort.
  
  I'm sure there's ways of finding him, I doubt he would have gone to war.

  Well, Piss... His last video was 3 years ago so that ain't gonna work... If you input 'sergey ivanov' into yandex.com you get all kinda peeps even software engineers... Anyway I'm not signed up with google so can't post comment anyways...
  
  I am a member at Renoise so I did message him there but he had not been on there in 2 years but I also left a thread in off-topic that I'm looking for him...
  
  Just about all that can be done I guess, I was gonna buy the 32bit version & the Anti-Wave VSTi as well, fingers crossed>>>

  I would say he still uses that youtube channel, he uploads randomly it looks like.

  Yeah, I have seen the vids years ago... It might not happen so might be stuck with 1.22 but it's still got great potential, especially for SF2...
  
  Last night I sampled output of a number of VSTi to SFZ, then converted to SF2 individual Instruments, Then converted 32 of those to a 485 MB Bank, each individual SF2 in it has every semitone sampled for max quality so a bit less than 1,600 samples in all... Loaded fine in SVAr no instability at all, still used 1,088 GB of RAM but Renoise would've brought the machine down using that many samples even in it's own native XRNI format (been there before)...
  
  Plus you can have up to 16 instances per adapter sharing SAME SF2 no additional resources used... Using @2-4% CPU playing about...
  
  Also all these SF2 have internal loop points that Anti-Wave detect & use automatically...
  
  Combine THAT with being able to use ANY program change on ANY note in ANY track at ANY time & the fancy-fart hookups you get with machine view....
  
  Let it be known I would never use that many SF2 in a bank, maybe half & very custom for the tune... Like a Drum SF2, A Percussion SF2, A Couple Bass SF2, Maybe 3 different Synth Lead SF2, A Couple Rhodes SF2, Some VOX or Vocal SF2...
  
  All in one bank... so maybe 12-16 combined into one bank>>>
  
  Food for thought...
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  And up to 9 note poly per track>>>

  Woooo! that's very impressive, I didn't release anti-wave was a SF2 power house!
  Okay, I'll have to take another look at svartracker v1.2.... I can see why you want to buy both now!

  Did you create the SFZ ad SF2 .wav sample files from svar also? That's amazing! Huge number of samples!
  
  What do you use to create the SFZ/SF2 banks?
  I'm starting to use polyphone, it seems pretty full featured to me.

  OK, Starting at the start... I use HighLife VSTi inside Cantabile Performer to sample a VSTi Plugin... After playing a bit to see if preset will work I then setup HighLife for that particular preset as far as how many seconds to 'hold' & what octave ranges... I don't have to worry about splits because I have it setup to sample every semitone... In that way a heavily modulated range of samples will all sound great no matter what... When I hit 'Freeze' it then does the work & when done I am then playing the samples 'in memory' still so if they sound fine then fine but sometimes using a different sampling time does better as HighLife puts loop points in the samples... If all OK then I export as SFZ with WAVs... Rinse-Repeat with other presets...
  
  Then I open SFZ up in Extreme Sample Converter & convert ALL SFZs to SF2s (Individual)... Then in Awave I open up all SF2s I want to form into a singular bank then 'Save Collection As' an SF2 BANK...
  
  Here's the HighLife the SoundBytes Guy improved on some-
  
  http://soundbytes.de/temp/HighLifeR3_beta.zip
  
  That's what I use, won't work on every plug & some crash it... You can use it inside DAW of choice but best something you can quickly get back running...
  
  BTW I tried that same 485 MB Bank in Delta SP 1.70 which is a soundfont 'centric' DAW but no go... Freeze/crash... however it does digest the individual SF2 instruments just fine...
  
  SVArTracker ONE... Delta SP ZERO!!!

  Thanks for that! Cool
  Thanks for HighLife, tested it out and worked well.
  
  Awave... I thought that was familiar I downloaded it to test out playstation's VAB support.
  I tested out a few VAB and it seems to read them correctly so I guess it would write them correctly also.... if it goes on discount, it's a maybe for me.
  I'm happy to do it manually for both VAB and SF2.
  
  I went down a rabbithole checking out soundbytes.de site... there's also some tool to help create .sfz files but I think it's pretty convoluted but better then doing it by hand: http://soundbytes.de/index.php?sfz_toolbox-en
  
  The SFZ player required is here:

  Everything I use simply creates the SFZ themselves so never had to think of it... Don't really like to spend alot of time on conversion if I don't have to, Same with UV mapping which always seemed like a waste of time...
  
  But you sure get going on things, nice digging...
  
  As to Awave grab the portable-

  Thanks I learn from the one and only talk or bell
  I dont mind creating format manually, I'm very used to it
  The "portable" apps rarely work on my win10 some do, but most dont

  Yeah, I have an ASUS Transformer Netbook with windows 10 that won't run many portables if they want to dump temp stubs into a folder not directly in the same folder or other as well...
  
  No I did not 'buy' it a neighbor had a flood years ago & was throwing it away even though it had not got any water in it... I figured a new battery & a power supply worth buying as it is like new mostly...
  
  The only other way I get a 'newish' OS is buying an old machine off ebay some smartass has managed to cram a windows 10 or 11 onto it which uses most the RAM-CPU just idling not even hooking the internet which would be a wild ride but they yearn for it & these are machines that have 3-4 GB RAM so are a KING with XP... and that's where they end up, a reformat & an XP install then zippy as the day is long...
