1. Sound collection (new in 1.1 version)

Collection file (*.col) is a simply text file. This file can be used to create custom or new sound sets like General Midi with Bank Select and Program Change assigned to each source.

Source can be any of file supported by Samplelord (SF2, GIG, NKI, FXP, EXB, WAV, AIFF).

This example shows example of collection with using notepad: Collection.col

BANK - defines Bank Select number acceptable values are 0 .. 127 and 128 is usually reserved for drum kits.

PROGRAM - defines midi Program Change in range 1 .. 128.

FILE - defines a path to source file, we can use relative or absolute paths also.

; - commented line or additional description.

We can use many of collection files in the same folder by renaming them like this: MyBasses.col SuperBasses.col MyDrumKits.col etc.

Each collection file may defines completely different set of sounds.

Below how this file is processed by Sampelord. Banks and Programs are sorted accordingly to its numbers. We can load all collection to Samplelord or even we can load one item from this collection.

Loaded collection file may be re-saved to final Samplelord Bank file with "Export Instrument..." command.

1. Window resizing

Some hosts does not support certain vsti implementation, some part of vsti routines are omitted like automatic vsti window resize, so it can't work correctly without supporting it from parent host. To avoid this problem resize window with Samplelord's "resize grip" on status bar, close Samplelord panel and open again. Samplelord panel will be opened with new width and height.
