Hi
I see that you only can import wav and aiff formats.
It would be very convenient if you could also import formats like mp3 and flac.

Hi Robert
It's a pleasure to read your comments, you always learn something new and interesting.
They say the best quality is 32 bit but I guess that's if you create an original wav from synth-synthesis-wave. What I'm not clear is when you import in soundshaper samples of different format, 16 or 24 bits, which is the best quality to export it, if you respect its original bits or transform them (with soundshaper processes) and export them as 32 bits?
* For now, the workaround is probably to change the sound output in Windows settings to the card you want to use, and the WaveMapper will use that.
- Ok, Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to see if it detects it this way.

In Settings - Sample Type (Bits) there are two options: 16 and 32 bits.

Why is it not possible to choose 24 bits?

Hi
In Soundshaper Settings, under Sound Playback, by default, the option: Media Player/WaveMapper is selected.
I want to assign it to my Traktor Audio 10 card.
I choose 12 Main Output Traktor Audio 10.
How to save this new configuration? 
I have tried all options; Initial Setup Save, Change Settings OK and Save Seetings File SAVE and when I reopen Soundshaper the Media Player/WaveMapper option is back.

Hi
A lot of thanks for your help Robert.
Yes, it would be very interesting to have Dry/Wet and Morph parameters in the processors.

Hi

Robert; Thank you very much for your answer-masterclass, very interesting!

- I don't see in Soundshaper´s effect processors (like this Filter Varibank) a dry/wet regulator.
You can hear the original signal in the background, is there a way to hear only the processed signal (WET) ?

Hi Robert
Thanks for the latest update, I already have it updated.

Thanks for the information

Hi
Robert a lot of thanks for your great help and your time to do the answer.
Sorry; I replied to you and deleted it because I discovered just what you replied to me by investigating the TXT folders.
A powerful tool but I sense that if you know how to use it; I still have doubts and questions that I'm sure you will clarify:
1- I have seen in a tutorial and I have tested it in practice that it is better to activate the checkbox Options : Double filtering ?
2- Filters can be subtractive or additive, they remove or emphasise frequencies.
In the case of Filter-Varibank they are additive,emphasising?
3- There are two ways of structuring the text configuration of the data file: horizontally and vertically:

- Horizontally :
0.00  110 -3dB  220 -3dB  330 -3dB   440 -3dB  550 -3dB  660 -3dB (A chord sounds on the second 0.00 (the six simultaneous harmonics)?.

- Vertically :
0.00  110 -3dB 
1.00  220 -3dB 
2.00  330 -3dB   
3.00  440 -3dB 
4.00  550 -3dB 
5.00  660 -3dB (The six harmonics sound sequentially in a kind of smooth sweep (like a fused arpeggio)?.

- The imported sound to which the Varibank-Filter is applied is important, should it be a constant, long lasting sound like a pad, a drone? 
Does the note of this imported sound to which we apply filter-varibank influence the harmonics we apply, for example the imported sound is a drone of the note G2, in the example shown is the first harmonic from A2 110 Hz, would the six harmonics sound as they are _A2_A3_ E4_A4_C#5_E5 above the original G2 or would they sound the original G2 and above from the sixth (A2) of G2 (E3_E4...) ?

- The (HARMONICS) number must be the same as the number of harmonics you write in the text of the data file (in our example six (6)) ? 

The interface of Soundshaper 6.3 looks very small, letters and all. Is there any way to configure it to make it look bigger?

Hi
Robert a lot of thanks for your detailed answer.
I've tried it and it doesn't work, I must be doing something wrong.

I just uninstalled Soundshaper 6.4 (because I read on the forum that is withdrawn) and i have installed version 6.3 and got the same error.

Hi
A lot of thanks for your great and effective support.
- The version is Soundshaper 6.4. Maybe I installed it wrong and some files are missing.

* you could try just going straight to the CROSS process having selected your 2nd file.
- This is the solution, this way it works perfect!

* (How did you do the video, by the way?)
- Yes, of course! The program is licecap from Reapèr:

Hi
What am I doing wrong?
I get this error when I click preview:

Soundshaper CDP Error. Preview Not possible .Ok
ERROR: INVALID DATA

Hi Robert!
A lot of thanks for your help and for creating this awesome and creative software.
I don't know what the structure of the text file should look like?

C1 32.70 Hz
C#/Db1 34.65 Hz
D1 36.71 Hz

Hi
In soundfile-Filter- Equal intervals 2 (Low Freq-High Freq) bands defined by interval size, the interval semitones created are tuned in equal-temperament or in just intonation?
