Loop Start

Loop Start startup is slow!!!
I want them to improve.

Chameleon is so important

I purchase Chameleon a long while ago and it has been very useful, but just lately a lot of AUv3 Synth apps have been crashing unexpectedly during performances, so I have sampled all my most used presets and imported them into Chameleon, I am now 110% confident of stability, thanks Paul 🍻

Clutch!

Paul, this app is amazing. Is there any way we can get files to load in a sequential order if loading multiple samples at once?

Ex. Name: 1. Sample1, 2. Sample2 - 3. Sample3 … 32. Sample 32 in order?

Files get renamed by Chameleon so it’s hard to track them… files loaded in order can get mapped faster

Thanks!

Limited Sampling Ability.

The app unfortunately is limited to a maximum of 32 samples per preset. I would not have purchased this app had I known about this limit beforehand. Hours of time were wasted before learning about the limit. So do NOT expect to have a portable software sampler that can achieve “individually sampled” notes across a meaningful range (mapping each sample to specific keys). Layered preset functionality (as in 2 presets/64 samples total) would solve this. Microtonal tuning, for example, unfortunately is something that you will still have to turn to MacOS desktop software to achieve.

Great app but only single velocity auto-sampling

That’s a great app overall, especially it is very easy to use to auto-sample synths through MIDI and the quality of the built-in presets. However there is a major limitation that is kinda of a showstopper for me : There is only one velocity level that is sampled. Hence also presets generated with it will play the same no matter the velocity you apply. There should be an update to improve this because in the age where MPE is everywhere, we cannot regress to not even velocity.
