Full Expansion Export - SampleMaps disappear

[Avián]

Hi everyone — I’m having an issue in HISE. My plugin works completely after doing a Full Expansion export in Rhapsody: the design and all functions behave exactly as expected.

However, there is one problem: I get no sound from the keyboard.

I think I’ve figured out why. As soon as I switch to Full Expansion mode in the settings, all of my 24 sample maps disappear. My Expansions folder also is completely empty — which I assume should not happen.

I’m doing all of this for the first time, so I’m not very experienced with HISE yet.

Could someone please explain — in simple terms — how to prepare my project for a Full Expansion export without having to rebuild and reload all of my sample maps from scratch?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Avián

Set the expansion type to Disabled and set the encryption key to 1234.

@David-Healey Hi David, thanks a lot! My sample maps no longer disappear now. However, after exporting and testing in Rhapsody I still don’t have any sound, even when I set the sample location in Rhapsody to the “Samples” folder where my .ch1 files are located.

[David Healey]

@Avián Are the original samples (the wav files) in your project's Samples folder?

[Avián]

@David-Healey yes, but in 2 seperate folders, and even if I put them outside this folder, it still doesn't work.

@Avián What path does the Link file in App Data show?

[Avián]

@David-Healey

[David Healey]

@Avián Have you checked the Link file in a text editor to make sure it does contain that path?

[Avián]

@David-Healey oh, I can't open the .ch1 files in my editor for some reason.

[David Healey]

@Avián That's correct, the ch files are compressed samples. I'm asking you to open the LinkWindows file that is in the Rhapsody app data folder, it will be in the expansion sub-folder for your project. This is the file that tells Rhapsody where to find your samples.

It will be something like Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Libre Wave/Rhapsody/Expansions/expansionname/LinkWindows

[Avián]

@David-Healey ah thank you! I finally found it, but I can't open it, too.

[David Healey]

@Avián Right click on the LinkWindows file and open it with note pad - it's just a text file

[Avián]

@David-Healey ok, sorry with notepad it was possible to open it! seems like it's the right location

[David Healey]

@Avián Is OneDrive local or network/cloud?

[Avián]

@David-Healey OneDrive is local

[David Healey]

@Avián What does the RAM usage show in Rhapsody when you load your expansion?

@David-Healey Could those # characters in the filenames be causing an issue?

They're making me feel queasy!

[David Healey]

@dannytaurus Maybe...

@David-Healey can you please check your emails?
