Batch, save samplemap as monolith?
-
Do you guys know what happens when the original samples are moved to a different location after building a monolith?
I'm getting some weird behaviour
-
@Tod-Slaughter Nothing "should" happen... but sample maps in HISE often display buggy behaviour, it could be in your case that the save mode hasn't updated. Open the sample map in a text editor and check it, the save mode should be 2 when using monoliths.
-
The save mode is 2 but the filename references the original sample location. It seems I'm going to have to rebuild all my samplemaps where I've moved the samples to another disk after creating the monolith.
-
@Tod-Slaughter Do the file paths start with {PROJECT_FOLDER} ?
-
@d-healey No they start with the original disk i.e. C:\blah\blah
-
@Tod-Slaughter If you open each sample map in a text editor you should be able to use find/replace to set the paths correctly to the HISE project folder. If you use an editor like Atom, Cuda text, or Sublime text then you can do this for a whole folder of sample maps at once.
-
@d-healey How is this happening? Am I using the wrong tool to save the monolith?
-
I'm right clicking and using the save as > convert to monolith
-
@Tod-Slaughter Where are your samples stored?
-
@d-healey I have been editing them to the desktop, creating the monolith in my project folder and then moving the original files to external drive.
You're saying I should move them to the project directory first
-
@Tod-Slaughter Yes, for the smoothest ride your samples should go in the Project's samples folder. If you want to work with them in another directory though you need to go to the project preferences and set the Redirect Sample Folder path.
-
Right, I was under the impression the monolith procedure would sort that. I'll start putting them in the samples folder, build the monolith and then move them.
Cheers!
