Does anyone know of a good Max/MSP sampler? At one point, there was samplor~, which did everything you'd expect from a sampler. It allowed you to set the 'home' key, range, loop points, etc. It was stable. Then, when Max/MSP converted to version 4.X, it was apparently never updated. So now, when you go to load it up into a new patch, you get the "fragload" error. This is more than a little disturbing, since I have an older piece that uses this module.

IMPORTANT: if anyone has a more recent version of this patch that works in the current version of Max (I'm up to 4.6), you will have my eternal gratitude.

Then there's Najo. It seems like a good idea, except that it CONSTANTLY CRASHES. Sometimes, it crashes when you start it up; sometimes, when you're just looking at it. Most often, it crashes when you try to save or upload a preset. Now, call me silly, but I think that saving and accessing files are basic functions that any program should be able to do flawlessly.

I've been hacking away at Najo (the most recent version, 1.3.3, as well as an earlier 1.0b version), for about two weeks now. And, I've read through the manual as best I can (it's in French). I've read and re-read the part about installation. And, it doesn't say things like "don't try to save anything, because it's gonna crash like a drunk on roller skates!"

Does anyone knows the magic incantation to make Najo behave?

Better, are there any other options? I have samp~, but it falls a little short - no looping, for instance. Of course, I guess I could sit down and try to create my own, but I'd rather not re-invent the wheel.

Okay fellow Max/MSP geeks:

samplor~ is an object from Serge Lemouton. AFAIK, he made a UB version.

Do you have Maxtoolbox installed? I spoke to Jean Lochard, and he had 

some issues with the dialog object in conjonction with maxtoolbox. He 

fixed that recently. You may have to contact him directly.

But it seems this version isn't publicly available. Maxobjects leads to 

Do you have a link? and send that as well to Maxobjects... ?

By the way, I have a folder sampler in my St.ools, which will distribute 

a folder of samples automatically according to the sample names across 

the keyboard. No filters though (but loops)...

But it seems this version isn't publicly available. Maxobjects leads to 
an old "can't fragload" version...
