Sampler VST for loops with automatic timestretching?
Is there a sampler out there that you can load in loops (as WAV) and have them automatically played back at the song tempo?
I have a lot of loops, but most of them are at 128-130 and I have been writing a lot of tracks a 124-126 lately. I'm using EXS24 currently for my one shots, but it doesn't have the ability to timestretch loops on the fly. If I have a 128 loop, I have to load it into the arrange window to timestretch it. Thats not real ideal when auditioning many loops at once. I'd like to find a sampler that I can load in a bunch of loops, map them to the keys, then play them back synced to the current song tempo.
Anyone know of a sampler that will do that?

That doesn't really work well for auditioning loops quickly. I'd prefer to have a Software Instrument.

MOTU MachFive has a feature they call Loop Lab, which is designed for adjusting the tempo of a loop, among other things.
It's not completely seamless like Ableton, you're sort of working offline, but I think it would get you about halfway to where you want.

Your primary focus should be making good music. That's all. No one gives a shit how you do it. And the people that do are fags.

Try dragging and dropping 100 loops quickly. I can audition 50 one shots in about 10 seconds with EXS24 because its all mapped to the keyboard. I can probably audition 5 loops in that same amount of time with the drag and drop method.
It does appear though that doing things in Live may be my only option for now. Not quite as convenient, but, hey, you do what you have to do.

just did, took less than 10 seconds.
You must know something I dont. I just dont see how that's possible without creating 100 audio tracks.
But its cool, whatever, different strokes for different folks.
Just tried it and found out that I can make Apple Loops out of all of my loop samples, so I think that's the route I am going to go.

Well assuming you have all the loops you are referring to in the same folder, you just open that folder in the browser and highlight all the loops and then drag over to session view and wala, x amount of loops on the same audio channel instanly warped.
hope this helps.
EDIT: from there you can take loops that u like and drag them to new audio channels, chop them, etc.

You don't even have to drag them dude, use ableton's browser and preview mode and you just click them and they play looped to the right tempo.
