      hello I have a question about expansion. the end user will have to proceed how for the installation? the presets will be put directly in the vst or will it be necessary to import them manually?

        @yall You'll need to handle that with your installer. The expansions have to go in the app data folder.

          @yall Be aware that this tutorial does only cover FileBased expansions, which are mini project folders including human readable samplemaps and no encryption whatsoever.

          For a end user distribution you might want to look at one of the encrypted formats, but this will be covered in another tutorial later on.

            @Christoph-Hart Is the API already there for the encrypted version?

              @Christoph-Hart thanks for quick update. I checked setExpansionCallback method and i see it's execute function on changing preset instead expansion itself.

                If you load a preset from an expansion, it will also change the current expansion.

                  Yes, but I can imagine that there's a few things to clean up before it can be used. I just want people to get acquainted with the basic functionality before taking the next step.

                      @Christoph-Hart it's not really work like this. I just made Console.print in setExpansionCallback and i see log only when i switch preset in expansion but it not work on changing preset. I hope you understand what i mean.

                        @Christoph-Hart @d-healey I will try tomorrow. Is there a way to create a link button that redirects to the app data or application support folder from the vst? this would make it possible to create an "installation" button. 1 for the presets and 1 for the samples. It could be a quick and easy solution while waiting for an expansion version which includes sample + preset. What do you think?

                          i just finished and compiled a vst test with 4 expansions. everything works very well. the use is quite simple but for an end user it can be complicated. I look forward to the possibility of doing it with the .ch1 sample because otherwise with the wave samples, the size of the sound bank can really be gigantic ^^

                            @yall You can already use ch1 samples with expansions.

                              @arminh This is how it's supposed to work. You only switch expansions if you load a user preset from another expansion than before.

                                I haven't checked (yet) but does changing expansion also update the sample redirect button in the settings panel?

                                  Nope, but if you're using HLAC monoliths, you can put them into the global sample folder or the expansion folder (which usually resides in App data and thus is not the best location for huge sample content). If a samplemap from an expansion is loaded and can't find the monolith in the Expansion's sample folder, it looks in the global sample folder.

                                    @d-healey I take a closer look .. because I didn t succeed. I went through a combobox to load the presets. I had to do something stupid. and by the way. do you think it's possible to create a direct link from the vst that you redirect to the app data or application support folder?

                                        @Christoph-Hart I was thinking that users might want to spread different expansions across different drives.

                                            Hello I just got a better understanding of the expansion system and it's great. however I noticed that to load a preset as well as to save it, you had to activate "save in preset" on the Label> "HiddenLabel" and it works BUT.

                                            I have this message in red which is written. is this disturbing?
