Reaktor Sample Map Generator
Reaktor is great, but one thing that i dont like about it is the built in sample management, you have to create these ’sample maps’ to use your own samples but the UI for it is a bit rubbish, like an awful version of kontakt. so i built a tool to generate map files automatically.
UPDATED
I’ve built a new version in Java which is tested and working on both Windows and OSX. You can download the app here.
I’ll put the source up soon when I get a spare minute.
comments, suggestions, modifications are all welcome.

If you want the old version (ruby) for whatever reason then let me know.

cool! works nicely and saves time… thanks!
Congrats - this is fantastic tool!
I like this….if i click on a sample folder ie….”samba” and use it for both the map directory and sample directory it works great using 60 as the default. If I want loops it takes longer and I haven’t yet determined how long. Interestingly, if I open the “samba” file for both map and samples it doesn’t work at all.
Thanks for this as it helps in the mapping process which is painstakenly slow.

If you choose the loop option it can take a lot longer because it has to open every file and see how many sample frames are in it.
I’ll add some kind of progress feedback so you can see whats going on. Also i’ll take a look at the problem of using the same directory for both maps and samples.
What platform are you on?
Great app… Thanks! This will save me tons of time! Please post the source code.
Hi, can you please explain exactly how to use this app? Theres no obvious way to launch it and ive never used Java before. Im on windows btw
Thanks.
This is great Martin! Nice one. Cheers.
Nifty, thanks!
