Duplicate instrument names problem?

2003-01-15 by ronniewibbley <guy@guyjackson.net>

Hello all.

Apologies if this one has been done to death already, but a quick 
search didn't come up with anything in the archives.

I finished a song a couple of weeks ago which amongst other things 
used a clavinet multisample on the EXS24 Mk II. The instrument name 
was "clavinet" and it was buried deep within two or three subfolders 
of the "sampler instruments" folder (I'm on PC). 

In the following week with some free time I at last got down to 
installing all the Akai Japan stuff which had been clogging up my 
hard drive for the best part of a year. This afternoon I called up 
the song I mentioned earlier to see how it sounded, and lo and behold 
the clavinet track had been transposed down an octave... or so I 
thought. On deeper inspection, the EXS had loaded a "clavinet" 
instrument all right, but... you've guessed... it was a different 
clavinet from the Akai site, in a separate subfolder, with completely 
different samples. 

Does this sound familiar to anyone, and if so, does this mean that no 
two instruments can share a name, however far separate they are in 
the file structure of the computer? 

Rather worried about what else might crop up...
