Fields

<sample>

attribs

file = "Freak Ass Vibraphone F2 01.wav" (sample filename)
gain = "0.000" (db?)
sample-start = "0.000" (samples)
sample-stop = "623932.000" (samples)

elements

<key>

high = (note code)
low = (note code)
root = (note code)
track = (true,false) is keytracking enabled
tune = "0.0" (-1, to 1)(measured in semitones, 5cents == 0.05)
*reverse = (option exists in sampler, but this field seems to be missing, bitwig sampler reverse button state does not appear to be saved)

<velocity>

high = (0-127) not needed when high=127
low = (0-127) not needed when low=0

* If high or low values are given when they are not needed, then the Bitwig audio engine deactivates when multisample instrument is loaded

<loop>

mode = (off,sustain)
start = "0.000" (samples)
stop = "623932.000" (samples)
