If you're assembling a Soundfont patch out of a number of samples,
they're generally spaced the same way - i.e. every minor 3rd or even on
every half-step. In Vienna, on every new sample, you have to go through
this laborious process of assigning the note to a key as well as
assigning the range by dragging the handles.

Seems like a huge oversight that they didn't design Vienna Soundfont
editor to allow you to assign a default note range, so every time you
drop a new sample in, it automatically fixes the range both above and
below the range center - including a range of 0 hafl steps if you're
doing a sample per note.

This would make creating a patch much easier, Is there any tool that
does this?

I have never used this program, so I don't know the answer to your
question, but you might want to look at it and see if it meets your
criteria: http://www.soundfaction.com/alive/index.htm
