Mach5 Can't locate any sounds, even when i drag/drop.

[ManOtunes]

I just installed the upgrade.(1.2.3) The pdf recommended
that I place the sounds folder on a different drive than the
audio to improve the cpu performance, so i moved the
"MachFive•„• Sounds Folder" to my 2nd internal drive.

I then proceeded to Reselect MachFive sounds Folder.
Then I created/selected a new Soundbank. When i
attempt to drag/drop a sample onto the keyboard, it says
"The UVI-engine reported an error.... Could not install
selected samples. Cannot find sample. Error ID 3007."

I tried copying samples into the sounds folder, and then
dragging them onto the Mach5 from there....same
problem.

Anyone know how to solve this? I should mention that I
just purchased MachFive and this is my first attempt to
use it. I read the quickstart manual though, and if I can't
load any sounds and create presets, i can't learn any
more about it.

THANX

Do this:

When you want to install samples into machfive - Be absolutely sure that they are in a folder that has no ODD characters in the name. For instance, drag the samples you want to import into a folder called "M5 Samples"...on your desktop, or on the same drive as you M5 sound folder.

Start with just trying one individual sample. It should work. When you do multi-drag and drop (chromatic/white keys/etc), M5 can often take a sh*t and will stop being your friend.

Let me know if that works.

You might also need to create a new PRESET before adding samples. But you can test the integrity of your samples by inserting them into a DP track (assuming you are in DP, of course.) You can drag them right from DP into the M5 window. Sample rate may be an issue as well. I generally use 44.1 because that is where most of my samples are from earlier systems. I am guessing that M5 accommodates other sample rates (48, 22, etc.) but I'm not sure.

But gragging from DP (I just drag it over from the track window to the M5 sample window) should work.
