Samples Missing In Exported VST
-
I exported my vst and loaded into fruity loops to test it.
My plugin utilizes a waveform generator and a sampler.The waveform generator works and is playable with a midi keyboard.
But the samples cannot be heard when playing the midi keyboard.I'm aware that when exporting as a standalone project, after installing the standalone application it usually asks to install the hr1 file as well to map the samples.
However when installing the vst3 it never asked me for an hr1 file.
I didn't necessarily "Install" my vst I just dragged the exported vst file into This PC>Program Files>Common Files>VST3
Is there an installer I was supposed to run for my plugin to recognize the hr1 file?

You will only be prompted the first time your run the compiled project (either standalone or vst3) as they share the same reference to the samples. I'm guessing when you were prompted to install or locate the samples you selected locate? You needed to select Install which would have extracted the samples from the hr1 file - it's a very clunky system and most of us don't use it.
To solve the issue you need to go to your app data folder and locate the LinkWindows file that points to your samples - delete this file. Then the next time you start the plugin (or standalone) the prompt will reappear and you can select the install option.

@d-healey Ok thank you I will go ahead and try that. I wasn't aware there was a LinkWindows File.
