Hello Is it possible to create a sample pack with a single csd file. Make an instrument that would write a wav file per musical note for example? Could you tell me which way I should look? ---

Hi! Sure! you could use sprintf for ceating the file name and fout to save the file. a simplified sketch (not the real code): instr 1 iNote = p4 ; or some other way aSignal SFilename sprintf “%d.wav”, iNote fout SFilename, 4, aSignal endin - consult the manual and change it as you need.

Hi Johannes, perhaps I have expressed myself badly, I want to create multiple samples with different frequencies of the same sound in order to feed a software sampler. The csd file will have to provide 7 wav files: A3\_sound.wav, B3\_sound.wav, C3\_sound.wav, D3\_sound.wav, E3\_sound.wav, F3\_sound.wav, G3\_sound.wav. ---

Yes, this is exactly what you can do with that instrument if you develop it further: -odac sr = 44100 ksmps = 32 nchnls = 2 0dbfs = 1 instr 1 iNote = p4 ; or some other way iFreq cpsmidinn iNote iCutoff random iFreq_2, iFreq_8 aSignal moogladder vco2:a(0.1,iFreq), iCutoff, 0.8 aSignal \*= adsr:a(0.1, 0.1, 0.6, p3/2) outall aSignal SFilename sprintf “%d.wav”, iNote fout SFilename, 4, aSignal endin i 1 0 1 48 ; C3 i 1 + 1 50 ; D3 ; etc Maybe I still got you wrong… tarmo Kontakt NotSure via The Csound Community (\<[noreply@forum.csound.com](mailto:noreply@forum.csound.com)\>) kirjutas kuupäeval E, 3. märts 2025 kell 10:20: [demo.csd](https://forum.csound.com/uploads/short-url/a7cgrmwtiOkTXIUKvMXtNK2mgfy.csd) (758 Bytes) ---

Thank you Johannes, it’s exactly what I was looking for. I imagined something with loops, very dirty. I’m very bad at English, mathematics and algorithmics. Thanks to you, I just discovered that there are a lot of `"*out*"` opcodes, and your solution is elegant. ---

Hello, in the expression `"adsr:a(0.1, 0.1, 0.6, p3/2)"`, I couldn’t find in the manual what the colon between `"adsr"` and `"a"` mean. Is this the way to write the conversion of i-rate parameters to a-rate? Same for `"vco2:a(0.1,iFreq)"`, k-rate in a-rate? ---

Hi, I finally found the answer in the flosmanual. Sorry for the inconvenience. ---

**Update,** Hello, Finally, I installed Cabbage audio on my machine, so I didn’t need to make individual samples anymore, I made a VSTi that I can load into Ardour. Only happiness.
