You need a sound generator and god knows what to quirk out sounds, because it ain't just pure samples and midi in mods? They bend and pitch samples, then it would be better to go for a real sampler. I once invented ***the*** algorithm for none shortened/elongated piched sampleplayback i ***stretched*** the samples.

Do not sound perfect, but if you record/sample a tone in each octave it sounds good, those days 32MB ram, so the bitwig of samples became a memory issue. But i think they solved it by reading the sampled notes directly from disc realtime but it must caused a small latency?

Now i have to reload the thing to get an error free load of the midi ports. I mean how can one put complexity in syntax of such a thing as the thing to wait for another task first to be done, before you start next?

But i don't get how fucking waiting for an answer of a task can be so fucking complex that i am clueless about how to check if the ports loaded, before i try to call the values within them.
