Changing Sample Start Mod

[ulrik]

I noticed that if I change the SampleStartMod in the sampler, and then save the project, the change will automatically be written into the loaded sample map.

Sampler1: The sample map has unsaved changes so it will be embedded into the sampler.

This will lead to this message when loading the project next time.

Sampler1:! Loading embedded samplemaps is bad practice. Save the samplemap to a file instead.

And as I understand it, that is a no no no...

In my project I have a script that will change the SampleStartMod if meeting some conditions, and this will change as soon as those conditions is true.

• What is the recommendation regarding this ...bad practice...?
• What will happen when the project is compiled and the SampleStartMod is changed via the script?
• Do I need to set a static SampleStartMod length and resave all samplemaps with that setting?

@ulrik Also if changing Sample Start, it will be stored in the sample map when saving project

Usually the sample start mod is fixed in the sample map and you control the position used with a modulator in the Sample Start chain.
