I created custom macros in Reaper to do all that.
Acon Digital Acoustica and DSP Quattro are a lot more forgiving than Logic.ah, i figured it out in logic pro. not easy to see. and this is a note for my future self cuz im sure ill forget lol.
select file and open in "file" editor below. select the loop points and hit the loop icon.
on "edit" on the file editor menu:
select: selection>sample loop.
then select "write sample loop to audio file."
now the loop point inside the file will be shown on kontakt and will work in omnisphere.
whats wierd is that creating loop points in kontakt and exporting/making a new instrument, wont embed the loop points so they appear in logic or omnisphere. unless im missing something .
Creating loops in Kontakt is non-destructive, it only writes loop info into the NKI, not the samples.
Not really a pity, it's more flexible IMO because in the same patch you can use one sample many times with different loop points. Its main intention is not to be a sample editor. Burning loops into samples is a feature of sample editors, not sample players. Just my 2c.
Could be optional. Just as it is with any sample editor.
There's something very wrong in NI land.
And for the record: No, technically Kontakt isn't a sampler but a sample player.
Except Kontakt remains the most successful product they have next to Komplete. So, nothing wrong there.
That's already the case, Kontakt/Kontakt Player.Maybe one day you can't even load samples yourself anymore (unless you own a special edition).
There's exactly one reason for that, and that's because they were first and kinda defined a standard for plugin samplers.
Others than that, Kontakt development is an embarassing shame.
