No, I usually just answer…
Of course did I read it. But I was thinking about how this could be usefull when reorganising sets.
When exporting to a new set I still have to reorganize right?
You talked about your own struggles and giving up with it.
Then you mentioned a possibility to export to new. This is interesting but does not relate to what I was asking for (imho).
Please forgive me if I missunderstood you.
I need to sort multiple banks (my songs) to a new project but into different banks than in the previous project.
If understand this right it will only export to a new project. But I need to sort banks from different projects.
In the post i linked i try to explain how to transfer a bank across projects, whatever the number of the bank.
Don’t mind the intro, just pay attention on the how-to part. You can assign it to Bank 1 or 12, it is the same.
Whenever you copy a part, the main issue is that the pointers to the samples are kept as such so you need to recreate these links so they are not broken.
If in Project A Bank 1, the track 5 points towards Kick32.aiff in slot 56 and you want to copy that bank to Project B Bank 13 but the slot 56 is already occupied, you’,l have to manage this somehow.
Same for the P-locked samples.
Then for reorganizing a set, it is another story. It is a PITA to copy bank even if doable, you don’t want to do it each time you want a new setlist order or you’ll end up with dozens of folders with same samples and naming them to load the proper one would be a struggle as well.
For this I recommend the use the arranger and its chains.
Then sorry, I really misunderstood that, sorry.
And thank you for once again pointing me to that.
I know that and therefore every Song has it’s own distinct subfolder. I guess, as long as the folder structure stays intact (in the audio folder) my bank/song will find it’s sliced stems, right?
Will the parts be exported with the bank, yes they are
This is the part I still don’t understand.
If I get you right there is no way the octatrack finds it’s samples when I change the bank the triggers/plocks/samples slots live in?
I have to try that because I am heavily organized.
For the most part my songs consist of 4-6 slice-stems and are understandably named.
Not one single drumsound. This is DT.
If it’s only about setting the right slots, might be not more than an hour of work (guessing )
That’s one of the surprises the octatrack had for me. I don’t like the arrangement that much. I want to perform the patterns from the first accessible layer.
Hey Blasted_pingin (what does that mean?) thank you so much for helping me thinking this over.
Correct if you paste a bank it will keep its assigned sample slot, but will load the sample slot from the current project so if you have a track assigned to sample slot 1 and you have a sample loaded into slot 1 — say a kick drum — it will load the kick drum, not the sample that it was linked to in the original project.
