Re: Nord Sample editor importing samples with loop points!!!

Post by Jim Roseberry »

Trying to migrate from NS3 to NS4, this utility would save me many hours of work (and product better results).
I'm getting hung up with the following error message.
Any help would be most appreciated.

f:\Sample Robot\Integra 7 Vox Pad 1 loop test\Exported Wav Files>python fixloop.py
File "f:\Sample Robot\Integra 7 Vox Pad 1 loop test\Exported Wav Files\fixloop.py", line 73
<title>FixLoop-NSE/fixloop.py at main · erik-nie/FixLoop-NSE · GitHub</title>

SyntaxError: invalid character '·' (U+00B7)

Yes, the loop points are stored inside the Wav file.
There's an app called EndWav that will let you know if a Wav file has embedded loop points.

I've tried 24Bit and 16Bit Wav files.
I've verified that they do have embedded loop points.
Always get the same Syntax Error (U+00B7)

Got everything installed, but Python crashes when I run python fixloop.py
It creates a __pycache__ folder with a file called wavfile.cpython-38 but that file does not appear to open correctly in a text editor, so no idea what it contains.
I'm on Windows.
Any ideas?

Sorry for not replying on the 26th of April. I did not see that post.

I've just installed the latest version on a fresh window PC and seems to work fine with a few .wav files.

Did you copy the correct wavefile.py to the same folder (from my github repository)

@tsss27 and Jim:
Please send me a few .wav files with issues by DM, I can double check if I get the same error.

Please try the following experimental fixloop.exe version of the python program. I'm not allowed to add .exe files in this forum, so added it to my website:

https://qsheets.eriknie.synology.me

At the bottom is a link added with fixloop.exe

You have to put this .exe into the same folder with the project and .wav files as described in the github documentation.
No other files are needed. Just double click it. Or run from the command line to show output.

Please let me know if this works, I did a few tests and seems to work identical to the fixloop.py file, without the need for installation of python.

Much appreciated Eriknie !
Can you refresh my memory of the tool that shows if a WAV is looped or not ?

Hi Fred, see the links in the github page:

https://github.com/erik-nie/FixLoop-NSE

Thanks Eriknie !
I believe it may be too much asking for EXE version of CheckLoopPoints ? :)
