64 slices?
As a previous octatrack user, I have a fair number of 64 slice sample files I'd love to load easily into drambo. The max for setting an automatic fixed grid is 32.
Btw, if anyone else is looking to create long sample chains I highly recommend this command line tool: https://developer.aliyun.com/mirror/npm/package/gtbg .

Might be worth supporting 128 as well. Max out those midi indices.
Looks nice. I spent last night creating sample chains using Aum and Audioshare in front of he TV (Family quality time 🤒). Steps are:
Drambo has been great at splitting these using Detect transients. You can also use them on an OPZ and I believe the Elektron Boxes.
Anyone have a better workflow on ios as I am always looking to improve.
Nice idea @kewtips!
That's about as good of an iOS flow as I can imagine @kewtips ! I'll definitely use that at some point.
For desktop / batch work I like the gtbg library because it will add together everything in a folder, and if there are multiple folders it will create chains for each one. Also the chains generated have the samples spaced out with the exact same distances, so you can used fixed slice grids (even though detect transients works pretty well it can miss the start of samples).
I ended up writing a bash script to put samples into folders based upon their names and then run gtbg. Great way to turn sample libraries into chains :)
@quartzite , your way is definitely better for those with command-line-fu.
If you (or someone else who reads this) wants to use it, a sample line to run the script is:
gtbg chainOt --samples "." --sampleRate 44100 --bitDepth 24 --appendSliceCount "true" --outputPath "." --post "remix 1"
Will this create equally sized slices? If so, how is the slice length determined?
Equally sliced based on the longest sample in the folder
