This time, I would like to record the basic settings used to recreate my “Sine Wave Version” sound.
This is not a preset designed for one specific sampler. Instead, it is a JSON-based description of the sound structure: a 440 Hz sine wave, two layers, amplitude envelopes, key-range-based panning, and loop settings.
If you give this JSON to a generative AI tool, it should be able to translate the specification into setup instructions for the sampler you normally use, such as Kontakt, Logic Sampler, UVI Falcon, or other sample-based instruments.
I cannot guarantee that the result will sound exactly the same in every sampler. However, the basic structure is very simple, so I believe a similar sound can be recreated in many sampler environments.
This is also a small record of reproducibility.
Even if the sampler or software environment changes in the future, the sound can still be reconstructed as long as the basic structure is preserved.
This specification is provided as a technical record for reproducibility. It does not grant permission to create or distribute presets, sample libraries, plug-ins, or plug-in instruments that use my artist name, work titles, or release names in a misleading way.
