Firstly, I posted a request for this on the sister site and was told by a moderator to post it here instead, so here goes:

I am wondering if someone can help extract raw .wav samples from a few specific libraries listed below. For those wondering why I don't just do it, see the bottom of the post. ;)

Library List: For titles with multiple mic positions, close is all I need.

CinePerc Pro
Brake Drum + Anvil + Bell Tree + Sleigh Bells + Cow Bells, Flexatone, Orchestral Shakers, Ratchet + VibraSlap + Sandblocks, Roto Toms, Sticks and Tickies, Wood Blocks + Claves + Castinets + Slap

CinePerc Aux
Cajon + Timbales, Circular Bells + Finger Cymbals + Springs, Cuica + Guiro + Samba Whistle, Doumbek + Darabuka, Ethnic Chimes + Fish Bells, Ethnic Shakers I and II, Glass Jars + Water Jars + Flower Pots, Log Drum + Apple Box, Monkey Stick + Agogo, Puili Sticks Single

Evolution Series World Percussion: South America
All except pandeiro, cajon, bongos and congas

Vir2 World Impact: Global Percussion

Tapspace Virtual Drumline (besides chromatic / mallet percussion)

I am planning on loading these samples into a drum module for playing live, therefore not needing a computer.

Now, for why I don't do this on my own. Firstly, It appears that INNKX will only run on 64 bit Windows, which I do not have. Secondly, I understand certain versions of Kontakt will do this, however I am blind and it seems they are not accessible for use with a screen reader. This is also why libraries with .ncw files are useless for me. Therefore I am hoping someone is able to extract at least some of these libraries to .wav's for me...

That's a lot of work. We should organise a group around these tasks each one would a part of it.
So we could send you the waves files.

 

Yes and I definitely don't expect someone to rush and do all of it right away, I am just appreciative if anyone helps at all with it.
If I knew how many velocities every instrument had I could probably cut some of these out but that would probably take even more work to calculate, I doubt the manuals list this kind of thing. Patches with only a few velocities aren't as useful for my needs.

 

inNKX has both 32 and 64 bit versions. If you need it let me know.

 

Extracting WAVs is the easy part. Sending them to you is a different challenge.
That's easily over 1 TB of data that'd have to be uploaded.
If you have those libraries available locally, it might be much faster to ask a friend for help (it's 2-3 clicks in Kontakt to extract WAV samples)

 

Very interesting, the only version I could find only seems to work on 64 bits. At least Total Commander refused to install it and said it's not a valid plugin...so someone told me it was only for 64. If there's a 32bit version or I'm doing something wrong I can definitely try again, I know it can extract at least 2 of those libraries.

 

Unfortunately this is not possible at the moment even though I agree it would be a lot easier. Surely as I only need parts of most of these, with close mics only, it would be a lot less than 1tb? In any case the module I am loading them to only plays 44,100HZ 16bit so that would definitely save space as well if someone converts them before uploading, since I would be doing that anyway if not.
For Cine and Evolution, while I have heard the basic libraries, I do not know what every individual instrument will sound like or how detailed each is; I could almost certainly cut more of them from my list if a comprehensive demo exists. Most are full-on tracks with many things going on so not ideal for this. I also do not need performance articulations (rolls, crescendos, flams, ruffs, etc) because with this system I can play them live as long as there are many velocities.
I will look around some more and see if there are other things I could cut to make it easier.

 

Yes, you're right I misread the list.

Depending on how quick you need that job to be done, I can do it within a week approx.

 

A week is definitely fine, if it takes more time no problem. The Cine stuff is probably the first priority as those libraries seem to be the most comprehensive. My hope is after that I should be able to cut a lot of duplicate instruments from elsewhere, and if there is indeed a 32-bit version of InNKX as another person said above that will free up 2 more libraries as well (VDL and World Impact.)

Edit: updated the original list, reduced quite a bit more as I was able to find some better demos.

For the Cine stuff, I am wanting whatever mic blends the best with other sample libraries that are fairly dry. I do not need a lot of hall ambience. I assumed that the closest mic would be best, but unsure.

This is kind of off topic but total commander i have the add on installed and for the life of me i cant extract anything from any library. I have tried youtube i have tried here i add nki nkc nicnt to the options part and every library i try i get error or nothing at all. Ive just tried to get the impulses out of pornofonic rezonator and error

 

@pcs901 can we consider that this is solved?

 

I don't think so yet, InNKX still does not work for me. When installing InNKX, once it's time to associate the file types I am told it is not a valid plugin. I also tried with the tc plugin manager, which installs it and sets up the file types but then I get a different error when going to an NKX file. So I guess it's not a 64-bit issue, something else is going on.

 

Ok, so I'll try to bring more people here to help you.

 

I'm working on it.
But transferring 80GB of libraries over 8Mbps internet takes time.

 

That's why it would be better to divide the task between several members.

 

I don't know if you saw it, but I had edited the original post and reduced what I needed by quite a lot in order to make it easier for you (and anyone else who may decide to help.) Just making sure you knew, as I was pretty sure the total would be a lot less than 80gb now!

 

I'll be in another place on weekend, with fibre optics connection. Then it'll fly

 

Rats, change in plans. No travelling during weekend. But I'll do it remotely on Sunday. Hang in there @pcs901

No worries. I guess it was a good thing I cut a lot of instruments out after all! Should speed things up by quite a lot, hopefully.

 

So, Andrew, are you going to handle this alone? Or should I bring more people here?
