Oh yes ! Doesn’t seem simple for loop points…velocity layers only seems doable…at least for Subtracks it can do it…
I didn’t try your tools yet ! But I tried eldrum builder, and I edited some stock files…in order to use internal recordings as audio material, so I am also very interested in single files !
Here is my humble trickery to do so :
Create your own Subtracks from Tonverks recordings
Makes sense that it may be tricky doing this technique with looping. I’m new to multisamples in general so I guess figuring out what the tradeoffs are for these different approaches.
So for a piano or epiano patch (or anything else like bells, plucks) it would make sense since notes can and should decay naturally without looping, but for anything that should be sustained via looping like pads, atmos, or sustained basses, maybe not a great idea (unless/until we can figure out whether this tonverk native elmulti file format can handle looping too)

Do you have any plans (or is it even possible) to create a tool to edit midi patterns on the Tonverk from the computer? I’d love to be able to import or create a tonverk project with the midi sequences from my Ableton projects pre loaded.
This would be amazing!
Idk if it’s possible tho?? Where is a sequence even saved? (I don’t think this is easily accessible by user, might be wrong- new to elektron). We can copy paste seq on tv but as far as I can tell these would be saved within file/s in the project folder.
I hope your request is possible!
I’d guess that would be incredibly hard … the multi files are similar to sound fonts … the pattern data is proprietary elektron data …
but who knows … maybe that new techy thing that we can’t mention could decode / recode it .
That would require a lot of reverse-engineering the file format. Since the sequencer data is stored in a proprietary format and appears as unreadable characters, you can’t access or modify it in a meaningful way without understanding how the data is structured internally.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the core idea with Ableton and the Tonverk, but couldn’t you just create your sequences in Ableton, put the Tonverk into recording mode, and record them that way? For example, if you have 8 MIDI sequences in Ableton, you should be able to record them all at once and end up with them on the Tonverk.

Yeah I used to do that on my Digitakt and it worked, but was a bit of a pain, notes never seemed to be bang on grid even with quantise set to max.
