GO Sample sets troubles what to do

Sometime there are troubles with GO Sample sets. In this page I list some troubles that don’t allow sample sets loading and how to solve them.

In Linux one of the main trouble is the improper use of upper/lower case in directories, files .wav and their use in .organ definition file. In windows there is no problem because this os isn’t case sensible while linux is.

Another trouble are corrupt .wav files. In this case it is possibile to comment corrupt pipe and to use another pipe changing it pitch:

Pipe062=.\swell-lieblichgedeckt8ft\097-C#.wav
;Pipe063=.\swell-lieblichgedeckt8ft\098-D.wav
Pipe063=.\swell-lieblichgedeckt8ft\097-C#.wav
Pipe063PitchTuning=100

 

Skratusz sample set  – 1876  –  Wilhelm Sauer, Frankfurt

To use Skratusz sample sets in Linux, after decompresing, we have :

1) to go into skratusz directory using something like:

cd skratusz

2) to change  .wav files in upper case.
Using find and rename we can use only a command to change in uppercase all files .wav.

find . -depth -iname "*.wav" -execdir rename 's/^(\.\/[^.]*)\.(.*)$/\U$1\E.$2/' {} \;

3) we have to change in .organ definition files the pipes name *-c.wav  in *-C.wav.
There are two files .organ so we can use grep with sed.

grep -rl 'c.wav' | xargs sed -i -e 's|c.wav|C.wav|g'

 

 

St. Augustine’s, Neutral Bay organ 1929 sample sets

St. Augustine’s, Neutral Bay | Appleton Audio
builder by Hill, Norman and Beard in 1929

To use St.Augustine’s Neutral Bay sample sets we have:

1) to decompress st_augustines.rar. There is an error when decompressing but it is not so serious so we can continue.

2) to go into StAugustines directory using something like:

cd StAugustines

3) to change  .wav files in upper case.

Using find and rename we can use only a command to change in uppercase all files .wav.

find . -depth -iname "*.wav" -execdir rename 's/^(\.\/[^.]*)\.(.*)$/\U$1\E.$2/' {} \;

4) to change  .organ files because there is a corrupt wav file.

We can edit .organ files using geany and choose another pipe to replace the corrupt

Pipe062=.\swell-lieblichgedeckt8ft\097-C#.wav
;Pipe063=.\swell-lieblichgedeckt8ft\098-D.wav
Pipe063=.\swell-lieblichgedeckt8ft\097-C#.wav
Pipe063PitchTuning=100

this my St.Augustine.rar without serious errors onedrive   or  google drive
