Well it sounds like you'll need a sampler for this task. Currently there are 2 flavors to choose, hardware or software. Do you own a sampler of any kind?

What would be a good software samper for this purpose? I guess I am hoping to be able to just record each note as a wav file and somehow replace each midi note that is stored in the computer with one of my own.

I do have access to some software samplers, I just need to know one that will work for this purpose.

Thanks!

Well there's the Steinberg Halion, Tascam Giga-studio, Native Instruments "Kontakt" & Motu's Mach 5 just to name a few. I'm not sure if the NI Kontakt is a full fledge sampler or not.

Also, check out Sampletank Free, which you can download [[url=http://[/URL]="http://www.sampleta…"]here[/]="http://www.sampleta…"]here[/]. It's a fully functional version of Sampletank without the sound library.

Oh, and Dabmeister, Kontakt is definitely a full-fledged sampler, and is my sampler of choice.

Thanks dm, I'm still old school (using hardware samplers), but I've done a little research the past year and have seen the Mach 5 which a friend of mine uses, in action and have concluded that I better get with the program. I have an interest in the Mach 5 as well as the Halion and a few others. The reason I have'nt gone the software route is because I have 4 other hardware samplers that I barely use now and have done an excellent job on whatever I shove at them. But on the other hand, I can imagine having everything in-house and being able to import/export right from the host. Cool...

Thanks,
I'm in the process of downloading Sample Tank. I like that idea as my main computer is running Pro Tools with Sample Tank and Reason, and I can have this free version on the computer with Finale so hopefully the'll work together easier. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.
Thanks again!
