PLAY can't find samples in DP!

Post by haydnwalker »

I'm using East West Goliath and SD2 PLAY and it keeps saying that it can't find samples when i go to load an instrument. i then locate it and the it asks the same question. Have restarted, redirected the library. no help. Very annoying. Anyone?[PLAY.tiff][/img]

Is it the "instruments" that it can't find or is it the "samples"? These are two different sets of files.

EW says that if you see the bundle (Goliath, in this case) listed under the 'Favorites' in the PLAY browser, you can right-click on it to set the directory. Unless PLAY says it can't find the samples, it's likely looking for the Instruments. You'll want to set the directory for the Instruments folder and not the samples in this case.

Required samples not found!
Please locate the sample library folder....
although it magically fixed itself... go figure.
BTW i think there may be a bugwith PLAY. i've noticed it crashes mostly when i'm editing continous (spell) data such as velocities especially...
