How to export with Samples incluided.

[Felipe Flores]

Hi, what is the best way to export a VSTi with samples included? When I export it it asks me to find the .hr1 file. At the end of the plugin will it always be like this?

@Felipe-Flores start here to remove the install samples dialogue:

You then need to create a custom installer method. If you have a small sample size then perhaps install the samples alongside the au/vst etc in the same installer. Otherwise you will need a seperate installer for the samples (as well as one for the vsts) which allows the user to set the samples install location.

Here's a thread to get you started on the mac installers:

On PC people seem to favour InnoSetup.

Its (another) frustrating rabbit hole to go down, so you might well decide to stick with the HISE solution

Thanks, I´ll try it, I'll tell you later if it worked for me.

You can't embed the samples in the plugin, and that would be a bad idea anyway. It would waste RAM and disk space.
