For me also : a lot of crashes unless I load first a factory instrument, then only my instrument.
managed to zip and unzip an instrument and place it on the external storage. however, the created ".instrument" folder contains separate folders for instruments, samples, etc and all in the original hierarchy they were in on the internal storage. it's possible to move things to the correct subfolders, but will be painful for a large library (>100Gb in my case). Could try zipping the whole library but that could also get tricky with storage.
my own fault for not getting more storage...
That's the fastest way to fix it, send me your instrument as zip with instrument+samples
I don’t have the Sampletekk here, but with other imported instruments I couldn’t reproduce this.
Could you send me a screenshot of the Layer settings before scrolling ?
The import of EXS files can be problematic if you import one exs file with the “Import” function.
This only works if you copy all samples files and the exs file into the import folder of AudioLayer. Otherwise AudioLayer
has no access rights.
100 GB ? uups
Have put your request for a copy procedure on my list, but this may need a bit of time. Definitely not with the next update, sorry.
I can scroll as low as the sustain pedal tab - when I geh to the key switch, it crashes.
Fir the exs import I followed the exact eInstructions: exs file and the samples in the sample folder both in the import folder.
That’s very kind from you ! Can I send it to [email protected] ?
Thanks.
yes Sir
Thanks. Just sent with File drop.
Let me know in case you didn’t receive it.
that would be amazing. I'm doing it in big chunks and seeing how it goes - I think because it can zip higher level folders, it actually shouldn't be that bad.
just to say, too, it's an incredible app - has revolutionised how I make music on the go, so thanks!
nothing here sorry
@VirSyn just want to make sure you’ve seen these posts regarding SSD performance 👇
sorry, the reason i forgot to comment this is that i already fixed it here
It should be okay now.
Thoughts on au parameters? @VirSyn 🙏
I can play Pianobook files on this? Does this mean I never have to use Decent Sampler again? Say it is so!
Pianobook has a nice collection of EXS format samples and they import every time using the "Import Folder" approach. Importing "File" is hit or miss.
For causal readers: Decent Sampler is free and there is a smaller collection of instruments at PianoBook that are in the Decent Sampler format. Many fail to install on IOS but seem to fare better on my Mac. The intersection of EXS and Decent Sampler instruments is in the 90% range I think.
AudioLayer goes on sale periodically and like Ravenscroft 275 I recommend you go with the best in class but Decent Sampler will get you a nice collection for free if you can stand the buggy installs of many instruments. Decent Sampler is free but the developer does sell a handful of instruments in the app (like IAP's) to get some income from the effort.
Some Pianobook EXS24 instruments that had any controls for the sound, such as tone, attack, expression,etc. in my experience did not translate into AudioLayer. However, pianos from Pianobook all came in nicely from what I recall.
I switched from AL to decent sampler just for the controls modwheel layer fading on Soft String Spurs. But decent sampler doesn’t load some large sample libraries for some reason. I need to try and import the ones that failed to import in Decent Sampler into AudioLayer. There are some good Christian Henson pianos I couldn’t get to work on DS that I may try now on AL
With action that fast, who needs words! Lol 😂
Thanks, Looking forward to the update!
Very excited to try out the new external SSD option. Lifesaver for big sample libraries that just won’t fit (Sounds from Mars).
Right now I’m copying about 50GB of samples/EXS to an external drive. I’m sort of confused by the root folder thing…. Here’s the scenario, hope someone can clarify:
That means I’ll have duplicated samples. Which in this case means a ton of space… Can’t I somehow just use one of the directories?.
I assume there’s a hood reason why AudioLayer is not just linking to external files , and needs to import. But can’t I use that same audio layer root dir on the ssd to host the samples in case I want to remove the other (/samples) folder?.
Ideally, if I could choose the folder with the samples already in it (//ssd/samples), AudioLayer would use that folder and existing samples without having to copy them all over.
I believe my use case is pretty standard… Has anyone found a good method they can share?.
@tahiche . From the previous discussion, I believe the root folder on the SSD is a private folder, managed by AudioLayer. You can place the instrument samples anywhere, let AudioLayer import them, then you can delete your copy of the samples. You cannot place them in the AudioLayer root folder yourself.
Follow this video steps to share instruments.
Hi!
So I tried importing from SSD. Here’s what’s happening.
Ser the root folder to ssd
Then I batch import from a Samples from mars directory on the same ssd but diff directory.
I can see the samples . Means I can probably delete the original folder and use this one if I need to access those samples to import elsewhere. No?
The key difference between the root folder on the ssd or local, seems to be that samples and instruments are visible on the audiolayer folder in the ssd. I might be wrong but I think they’re hidden in local storage.
Just want to confirm that this is exactly true
@VirSyn : can one have some instruments loaded locally and others from external drive?
Not at the same from what I can see.
Works great. I now have my whole Samples From Mars lib on a external drive as AudioLayer instruments. I also copied the original EXS files in case I want to use it with a computer or something.
I simply couldn’t use the SFM lib before, takes up too much space. Even tried a “minimized” version where instead of one sample per note I only had a sample per octave. Wouldn’t work as the root notes where all screwed up.
So this is great 👍
@VirSyn i do have one request, hope it’s not complicated… FAVS!!. Going through the SFM folders there’s hundreds of presets. I’d really like to mark the ones I like for easy recall. What I’m doing now is saving a copy of the instrument and then “move” to a FAV folder, but it’s not ideal and wouldn’t reflect any changes to the original. I’d love to be able to add tags and such but anything to make recalling those preferred sounds would be very welcome.
Great job, thank u! 👏
Samples from Mars are really well made. I've used them to test the importer - but also for just enjoying their high quality and lovely sounds.
I put your request on my list...
You can't use them at the same time - you have to switch the storage option before selecting a sound from one of them.
Hi,
@Virsyn, in the same way as what pianobook is to Decent Sampler, it would be nice to have a kind of community who would contribute with original and free sample instruments (I mean free of any 3rd party copyright). Maybe the simplest solution would be to ask Pianobook owners to add the "AudioLayer" format to the list (they already have Kontakt, EXS24, SFZ, Noise and DS).
