• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

Is there any free/cheap software for batch pitch shifting which will also allow renaming the output; SSO file names are e.g. oboe a#3 to conform to GO I need to rename as 58-A#, I have to name the pitch shifted notes anyway, so use the same format as most GO ones

Currently I'm using Audacity, the SSO sets have 4 notes per octave, hence the need for pitch shifting, typical work flow I use.

First, GO does not care for file names or its structure, but you should avoid special characters, if possible (Safe characters are: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, -,.)
Putting all samples named after your pets in one folder is also possibe :D

Second, if you just want to change pitch . you can leaf the work to GO (see norrfjarden). Simply specify the same sample file and Pipe999PitchTuning.
If temperaments should work too, you need to specify Pipe999PitchCorrection and maybe [Pipe999]HarmonicNumber and/or Pipe999MIDIKeyNumber.
This forums contains a thread about retuning to create a different stop.

Where do you tell GO to change pitch, in the ODF file, if so that could make for a very unwieldy ODF file.

Maybe GO doesn't worry about the format of file names in sample sets, but I find it easier to read ODF files with a certain amount of conformity.

Would it be possible to extract sufficient from wav files of solo instruments such as these, if so how best to go about it?

MP3 to wav conversion is easy enough, removing clicks I can also do; my guess would be to copy/paste a single note into an editing app, clean up any clicks etc, then for some possibly make a bit longer duration, then tune and add loop and release markers.

Regarding renaming files, I use a program called Bulk Rename Utility. It's fantastic and allows for the batch processing of changing file names in a whole bunch of different ways. The program can be downloaded here:

I've used it for renaming samples before and it beats the pants off of doing it one file at a time.

What bothers me is that having pitch shifted a note, surely one has to save it with a new name anyway so how does batch pitch shifting cope with that?
