No, idea. I just put my samples in and it works. You should download and try. It’s free and a tiny file.

Yeah… I have to look into this.

It should be fine, the only issues around statics slice points is when they are accessed by xfader or LFO and even then it depends. I think a kick chain is going to be fairly short anyway, so even with LFO or crossfader it will possibly be fine, generally longer statics are where the issues arise, but not with P-Locks.

If you are on Windows use wavosaur to batch convert the files, it also does a ton of other useful stuff and is free/donationware, highly recommended!

Edit: Then when converted use the excellent Octachainer, wavosaur doesn’t make chains, but can be used to prep samples first, such as remove dead space, change rate, convert to mono etc.

No cheese here. 
Still not sure what the best batch conversion option is for Mac users, but I recommend Ocenaudio (free) for manual file edits, trimming, normalising, conversions etc. There’s no batch stuff currently, but it gets a lot of updates and it’s nice to use:

I had a huge number of files to convert and after getting fed up with Audacity and a trial of WaveLab Elements (frustrating!) I did most of what I needed to do with a free trial of Twisted Wave, which has excellent batch options. I found it to be rock solid, but it’s not cheap:

For the iPad interested, there’s a new audio editor app called Auditor, which does batch conversion. It’s early days but the developer has a good rep, having made the LayR synth:

And yes, Octachainer is great!
Can’t wait for OctaEdit V2 to drop, though.

Sounds like a man in need of some good old extra mature Cheddar 
Same here, still it will be worth the wait

OctaEdit v2 has a new Chainer module; with some new features and functionality.
I have also developed a standalone Chainer application.
Both of them are cross compatible with each other as well as other programs like MDEdit for example.
Basically I’ve created a cross-application, cross platform file format.

Hey guys, is a 64gig SSD card the max you can put in the OT?

Compact Flash Card. 64 GB max yes.

Also worth considering do you need such a large card, or would you be better off with a few smaller cards? It depends of course, but generally 8gb is often plenty since the internal memory is just over 80mb, and you might find file management easier with multiple cards, rather than one card with a bazillion files on it, unless you like lots of scrolling of course

so with octachain do I want to use evenly spaced with 16 sounds, drop them into the slicer and then just select 16 slices and then what? haha
