Moved my samples, how to find?

[Dan Korneff]

I was just going to ask the same thing. Just opened an old project and it reference files from my old external drive

[Christoph Hart]

@Dan-Korneff Time for some Find & Replace action in your favorite text editor.

@Christoph-Hart I'm probably doing something stupid, but I can't seem to export my samples as a monolith.

I did a Find/Replace for the sample map xml. It seems to have worked because I can audition the sounds in Sampler Workspace.

I am able to successfully create a new sample map and export, so it's gotta be something with the old sample map xml.

Put your samples in the project's Samples folder.
Use the {PROJECT_FOLDER} wildcard.
Do not use absolute paths.

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey I can't. The sample library is 30GB+ and is shared among multiple instrument projects. It doesn't seem effective to duplicate that much data for each.

@Dan-Korneff SymLinks might work.

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey The absolute path DOES work when I create a new sample map, so there must be some kind of mismatch between an older version of HISE and the latest.

[d.healey]

@Dan-Korneff Oh actually I think you can put a linkfile in your samples folder to point to where the samples are and HISE will resolve it.

Yes the problem with your monolith creation is you have missing files as the error message indicated.

[d.healey]

Or use this :)

Yes it will work, but it's bad practice and will cause issues in the future when you move files.
