Instrument Aliases
2003-12-04 by osepek
I would like to be able to keep some EXS instruments in more than one folder (within the Sampler Instruments folder), for example if the instrument can be categorized in more than one way. However this gets unwieldy if actual file copies are used for this purpose-- because1) It creates unnecessary file duplicates, and 2) if one copy of an instrument gets edited and saved then the other copy won't reflect these changes. so it causes confusion. Aliases of the instruments would solve this problem quite elegantly, but when I make aliases, I can't seem to get them to appear in the instrument list. EXS doesn't seem to recognize them as legitimate files. It appears that one can only alias the Sampler Instruments folder as a whole, but not anything below that in the structural heirarchy, because EXS simply won't see it. Am I doing something wrong, or is simply not possible? If it isn't possible then I'd like to express to emagic that this functionality needs to be added! -Dan
