Manually importing samples into the #Bitwig sampler, to create your own searchable presets, takes A LOT of time. The sampler is doing a great job organizing the samples automatically, but you have to split up layers yourself and make groups to structure and organize these layers (like L/R or velocity). I used the SFZ files from #SamplesFromMars a bit, but it’s better/easier to just drag and drop the samples and be in control of how they are imported.
This obviously gives a huge amount of presets in #Bitwig, which really wasn’t my intention, but now when I’m working my way through my library, it’s just so clear how great it will be relying on search and browse in the pop up browser, which ultimately will lead to me using my big sample collection more often - and therefore make me less depended on learning/buying new software instruments.
And the last thing: wav-files support Linux natively 😂
