What SampleStack preserves

How much of your instrument the TX16Wx export keeps.

Key zones

The Deluge sets its own key ranges from each sample's pitch.

Supported
Velocity layers

The Deluge gets one sample per pitch (the loudest layer).

Supported
Root note

The Deluge reads the root note from a tag in each WAV file.

Supported
Fine tune (cents)

Ableton is limited to ±50 cents; the Disting and Deluge detect pitch themselves.

Supported
Amp envelope (ADSR)

The .multisample format, the Disting and the Deluge all use the instrument's own envelope.

Supported
Envelope curve shapes

SF2 and Decent Sampler use a single curve only. TX16Wx keeps its own default curves.

Not supported
Loop points
Supported
Stereo samples

SF2 stores stereo as linked, hard-panned left and right samples.

Supported
Output gain
Supported
Artwork / UI

Decent Sampler supports a background image (812×375) plus optional ADSR and volume knobs.

Not supported
Round-robin alternates

The other formats keep one sample per key and velocity slot.

Not supported
Self-contained (embeds audio)

SF2 embeds the audio and .multisample zips it in; the others reference the WAV files.

Not supported
