What's "Sample Wrench?"
Warren J. Savage
I've seen "Sample Wrench" advertized in an Amiga magazine. The blurb
mentioned editing 16-bit samples.
What is Sample Wrench? I have an AD516 (in an A2000 w/Toaster) and an
A4000 Flyer. Will I be able to make use of this program?

etc)..it ..of course MAY be something completly different..just a
guess;)))

it is a 16 bit sample editing program. It has EQing, filtering,
compression, a transfer function, time compression, pitch shift,
envelope generator, etc, etc. It is mainly for editing short
samples and sending them to various samplers (hence the name Midi Sample
Wrench), but it can work with the AD516. However, it can only process
sounds that have been loaded into RAM. So if you're looking for
something to tweak those 40 meg Studio 16 files, you better have plenty
of memory (I think that Wrench will work with the GigaMem virtual memory
program, albeit slowly)
There should be a demo of the program on the Aminet: mus/midi/DissiDemos.lha

Midi Sample Wrench (by Dissidents) is an Amiga application primarily for
editing samples and transporting same (thru midi sample protocol) between
several, older-style, commercial outboard samplers. It does no sampling
itself via Amiga, like with PS3, DSS8, Soundmaster, or any other hardware
sampler jacked into the Amiga parallel port. That said, its excellent.
It operates on IFF SVX 8-bit, midi-SMPL 16-bit, and other common 8- and
16-bit sample formats. Does everything your typical wave-editor would do,
like mixing, filtering, etc, but also handles Envelope creation, FFT
analysis, 256 loops/sample, loop-sequencing, digital parametric/shelving
EQ, audio compression, cross-fading, frequency rate, pitch tuning, and
lots more. It allows 8 separate editing windows open at once and uses
Paula for previewing sounds. It supports older Akai series machines like
S900, Roland S50, and others of that era, as well as generic formats.
Along with AmiSox, Sample Wrench is indispensable to my mod-making, but
good luck finding it, 'cause I'm not sure they still produce it. Great
if they do, though... maybe its updated from my OS2.0-era version.
Thanks,
Michael

It's still made and is currently at Revision 3.xx
I still prefer using Sample Wrench over ANY of my sample editors on my
IBM clone.

the most important feature of sample wrench is the ability to use SCSI to
transfer samples! MIDI sample dumps are very slow by comparison. You can
also audition finished samples uploaded to your pro gear from the Amiga
keyboard to hear the actual 16-bit playback, and the Arexx implementation
allows you to create macro functions to streamline the editing process. If
you do a lot of sampling Sample Wrench can remove a lot of drudgery &
waiting, particularly on fast Amigas...

do you know a modern scsi-sampler (Akai, Korg,Ensoniq), which is supported by
this program?
How to connect them?

well, if the sampler has a SCSI port (usually the DB25 version) you set
it's address and or termination like any other SCSI device & go!
I use the Peavey SX module to sample at 16 bit 44khz, download into
Sample Wrench for editing, then upload to a Peavey SP for full bandwidth
playback, as well as utilizing the Amiga 8-bit audition while editing...
