I've been fiddling around with MED 2.13 at home, and have downloaded a whole heap of NoiseTracker modules with the intention of ripping out the smaples to make a sample library for myself. Now, many of the sample names start with things such as "ST-05:". Does this indicate that a sample starting with this has come off a disk with the name ST-05? If so, how many such disks are there? How does one aquire them? Is there a list or index of the samples on each disk so I can selectively get disks? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Do people just put ST-xx on the front of sample names because it looks trendy?

I was doing the same thing as you, but a disk reorganization went bad :( gotta start all over again. So, does anybody have an index of the disks? Or, if anybody has ST/NT, could you post the contents (names) or what each disk contains? Say like, disk 01 has drums, 02 has... etc etc thanx!! Gustavo -- | From Mexico!

(except maybe ST-01 but can't be sure about it either). There are almost as many different ST-xx disks as there are users of those disks. Therefore there is no index for these disks. Now there can be upto 255 different sampledisks for PT (Protracker added that, don't know about Noisetracker2.1). ST-01 <--> ST-FF in hex of course :) And the number behind ST- indicates just the number of that disk. (ST-04 is the disk name so ST/NT/PT knows where to load it, simple enough?). If there are such a disks as 'bassdisk' or 'drumdisk' that is only thanks to someone who was kind enough to organize them that way. On my 36 disks they are completely mixed up. I just put new samples to a disk until it was full and then took a new disk to fill up. Personally I think it's quite a waste of time to organize disks so that there are certain kind of samples on one disk and so on. That's why there is the PLST and of course you can name samples so that you see similar samples in the same area. ST-01:Bassdrum01 ST-01:Bassdrum02 . . . ST-34:Bassdrum60 Like that. Enuff said ? -- Janne Salmij{rvi s117986@cc.tut.fi

The ST-xx that is before the sample name is the name of the disk that the sample was loaded from. there is not a specific set fo sample disks people just set them up the way they want to. It is for the presetlist function of the soundtracker/noisetracker programs. it lets you load samples alot easier. I have the subdirectories on my harddrive that hold my samples ASSIGN'ed with ST-xx names so i can load them with the presetlist. |Chuck Teschke | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | USENET:chuckt@theborg.mlb.fl.us |"If i have 5 megs of RAM, then why does | FIDONET: 374/1 | this program keep accessing the disk?!?" |---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "My employer could care less about my opinions..."
