[Solved] Sampler Glide Script Broken

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey Not sure. It's weird as it worked before when I did a test version with just 1 sample. I get this pop-up now when going to tools/convert all samples to monoliths + sample maps

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey ..I think I was using HISE 1.6.0 then. It definitely worked though and I haven't changed the name of the sampler since

[d.healey]

Strange, maybe make a blank .hip file with a single sampler in it (in the same project) and see if you can export your sample maps from there.

[Lindon]

@SteveRiggs I get this a lot. Theres a really simple work around, if you have a sampler called "Sampler" then add another (with nothing in it) called "Sampler1"

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey @Lindon Both very clever ideas!

I just made a new blank .hip in the same project folder and tried saving as monoliths and exporting samplers for installer, but I can't seem to find either a new .ch or .hr1 file anywhere.

It said all samples were exported without errors, and the target directory is the project folder. I'm pretty sure the .ch file went to the samples folder last time, and the .hr1 file was in the main project folder? Neither have gone in there this time though.

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey @Lindon

Hmmm, just checked every folder in the project folder and neither of the .ch or .hr1 files have been created

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey @Lindon is there any reason why HISE wouldn't create the 2 files? I can't find them anywhere

[d.healey]

@SteveRiggs No idea, I would expect them to be in the Samples folder.

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey Thats what I thought. Should be the same as last time. Weird.

It's saying there are a couple of files with the wrong ID as well. Not sure if that could be the reason why, or how I'd go about fixing them.

Sorry about all this! This is my first sampled instrument so I've not exported one before thats finished.

[SteveRiggs]

My guess would be that there shouldn't be spaces in the names of the sample maps?

I'm not sure how to fix an absolute path though, or what that is?

[d.healey]

Your raw samples (wav/aiff) should be inside the Samples folder. In your sample map they should have the {PROJECT_FOLDER} wildcard in the path, this will make them relative and not absolute. This is the default behaviour of HISE when you map samples by dragging them in from the Samples folder.

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey Ah, the drum samples had a different path. Fixing that now. Thank you!

Any idea why the ID is wrong for the .xml file though? I'm sure what would be classed as wrong. Do the spaces make a difference?

[d.healey]

@SteveRiggs I don't think spaces make a difference

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey Damn. Not sure what to do about that bit then. I wonder what it means by 'the correct ID'?

[d.healey]

Oh have you checked the id property in the xml, I noticed sometimes that gets reset to ""

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey

Not too sure where I'm looking. This is whats inside the xml...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<samplemap ID="" RRGroupAmount="1" MicPositions=";">
  <sample Root="60" LoKey="12" HiKey="108" LoVel="0" HiVel="127" RRGroup="1"
          FileName="{PROJECT_FOLDER}808 BASS 1 C3 .wav" Duplicate="1"/>
</samplemap>```

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey I'm assuming something needs to be inside the 2 quotaion marks after samplemap ID.

Would I need the full file name in there? as well as the .xml extension on the end?

[d.healey]

@SteveRiggs Just the file name I think, without the .xml

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey Thanks mate. I'll try it now. It looks like every samplemap .xml needs changing. All are reset to "". Joy!

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey Wow that was a tedious job. All 35 .xml file ID's changed and no more errors there. Thank you.

It's still not outputting any .ch or .hr1 files though, even though it says its done it without any errors. They are nowhere to be seen.

Is there another way? I remember last time when I exported the test version in June, when I opened it in Ableton there was a pop up on the plugin window that said it needed the .hr1 file before it would work that wouldn't go away until you directed it to the .hr1 file, stopping the plugin from opening properly.

If I added a settings menu to the plugin with the sample library redirect option, and then my client/users will be able to put the samples where ever they want? .. and the pop up menu on over the vst version wont be there then?
