Presets made outside HISE don't recall Samples

[trillbilly]

Hey Gang,

So I'm using a version of the CustomSampleImport. I dont save the Factory samples as samplemaps as I've come to find that if you do, the end user cannot edit the loop points/sample points. So I have the plugin recall the WAV file instead. All has been working fine in HISE & Compiled plugins.

I had a friend of mine create some Presets just within their DAW using the plugin and the provided samples folder. They sent me the User Presets folder and I added them to the HISE Project. The original presets I made within HISE still work, however, the presets he made dont recall the samples. It recalls all UI functions correctly, but it seems the sample path is not.

I've created presets like this before and it worked fine (using samplemaps). What am I doing wrong in this scenerio?

PS: I Should mention Im working on Windows (Ableton Live) and he on Mac (Logic).

@trillbilly sounds like the path to the wav file isnt the same across all the presets - your are probably in {PROJECT_FOLDER}, his not so much - look at the contents of yours and his prest files - check the file path to the wav file being stored...

@Lindon Ya, that was my fist thought. The issue is it doesnt just show the path. When viewing the non-working script I see this for the SampleDropper

<Control type="ScriptPanel" id="SampleDropper" value="JSON{&quot;isCustom&quot;: true, &quot;value&quot;: &quot;241.nT6K8ClN.zyA.HRytzBj4PvLLCyvL7vtzDY56iR9ThUFq36VZn9q+hHo7jcSF9e2WiqgdSO+zSRF79f1XWsm3Jtmb5ff6PYZF7GLbI75G7GECaAAErFX0rVS3ON9f8OCg8s0Ey2EIlMFDQOQfD0XRephucXeGcJhbFI1K0eDSEwpMjozOWD.V828fLTGArJCgrj1Be4eWpQMP0X0O5tI26NTwMYJNc3C4zkj.AoqZ01hOowvMkRCsEf9zOaTBrpiBpUkLreRH+AD.z1HvbaudMsA7B..nmaJ.vfI2.7Q.9BUYPbv4PS2W4yY.fyfu..kA.&quot;}"/>

While the working SampleDropper script looks like this

<Control type="ScriptPanel" id="SampleDropper" value="JSON{&quot;isCustom&quot;: true, &quot;value&quot;: &quot;240.nT6K8CVM.TyA.HPytzBfqg.Cv.L.Cv.nHhDYJ4uR9eB5vquM8XfO5vr8tc2jh+yZhRPvr4HP3wljEuu5XWskrE2KNcRvcnLZG7GMbK7ZI7GMCeQAOdrZVDrVPL.B6eNB6aKLlOLTLarIhdjDIpwhtzhucXeK4UHwYLw9o9iXpHVsgbk94jDvp+tHrgBf.qxPHOouvX92mZzCTNV8kbmz8NDVbTjRSGpPb5SSffzUsZewozY3lV4gVCPW9yF0.q5vfZ0HC6WDxe.D.f1HfaauYMsA7B..nmaJ.vfI2t6Q.XcyLHt8bn85qP4LrvYvW.fx&quot;}"/>

I tried finding similarities within this to see if I could find where the filepath went wrong but all it did was destroy my eyes and brain.

Here are the .preset files. Maybe Im overlooking something?

Working.preset
Not Working.preset

@Lindon After digging deeper I realize its only the first SampleDropper causing the issue.

SampleDropper = No Saved WAV Files
SampleDropper1 = Saved WAV Files

Here is a .preset file that has both SampleDroppers.

808 Waspy.preset

EDIT: Scratch that, Even more weird. Within my Samples Folder, Ive got Bass Folder and Kick Folder. Samples from the KICK folder are loading. Samples from the Bass Folder are not.

@trillbilly build a simple project that demonstrates the behaviour...
