Can we do multi-sampling in LMMS?

[dave2002-lmms]

I found this video about how to do multi-sampling in Reaper - https://youtu.be/VxEGphq0Gck
It appears to show how to do this kind of multi-sampling quite well, and to produce what might for some situations be an acceptable result.

It's not a perfect solution to sampling and extending the range of a virtual instrument, but it seems better than anything I've seen so far in LMMS. Is there a way to do anything like this currently, or is this kind of multi-sampling something which should be put on a wish list for future development?

Not yet, but i made a video about using Sampler the other day. You need to make one clip for each pitch in Audacity, and then import each to Sitala, then you have your re-sampled sound as multi-sample

Thanks - I'm looking at the video, and will see if it makes sense to me. One good thing - Sitala (https://decomposer.de/sitala/) seems also to be available for MacOS, but probably the files will go in different places from your video. I'm not sure if Sitala is giong to be the right tool - or at least the most flexible tool - as it seems to be aimed at drum pads - but I can play with it anyway and get back to you in a while when I've checked it out.

PS: Your videos are good, but the drum sounds are very loud compared with the voice. That can be painful when listening on headphones. Best wishes, Dave.

Actually, looking back at the first post here, and the video re Reaper sampling, would it not be possible to at least modify the AudioFileProcessor (or create a new instrument based on a modified version of AFP) which is described as a simple sampler, so that at least samples would only be repitched over restricted ranges, so that it would be possible to have samples for (say) G2, C3, G4, C4, F5, C6 etc. and then have these mapped into a set of non-overlapping ranges on the keyboard - e.g C2-B2, C3-E4, F4-E5 etc. Then the repitching operation would not be trying to do what at times is almost impossible - stretching or shrinking waveforms across a very wide range.

Another modification would be to allow the ranges on the keyboard to overlap, so that the output generated might be a blend of two repitched inputs from adjacent ranges, or even an "exact" sample of one pitch, blended with a repitched sample of a lower or higher pitch sample.
