Sampling whole instruments for Octatrack

After a couple of somewhat OT posts just wanted to say that I’d really like to buy old style ‘chromatic use’ samples for the octa. By which I mean single note instrument samples with a loop point already set for sustain. I use these a lot on old samplers, seems they were the norm in the 90s. don’t really care that they can be unconvincing. I like 'em

The long single hit instrument samples that I have acquired recently aren’t as good because the decay is predetermined.

As for poly playing /full chromatic/ midi-triggered slices / midi triggered slots - I believe Retrokits will one day make their volca sample cable do good things for the Octatrack

They recently added a feature to allow multiple parts on the volca sample to be used up in providing polyphony to one part. V cool.

There’s a thread on here where Retrokits themselves expressed an interest. But I don’t think he/she has an Octatrack. Wondering if there’s enough of us wanting midi triggered slices to buy them one!?

Here it is
