Re: [Tutorial] Converting MIDI + Samples to SEQ + VAB

Sorry for bumping the thread, but I found potential shortcomings with Vabtool, the program recommended for creating vab instrument sets. First, when specifying the center note for a sample, you need to ensure the sample has a sampling rate of 44100 hz. If the sampling rate is something else, the pit...
