Can anyone confirm … If I move samples from one folder to another folder on the Digitakt, will I mess up the existing projects that use those samples?
I seem to remember that samples are uniquely tagged, and that you can move them around without losing the reference/link within existing projects … I just want to be 100% sure!
Yes the projects reference the samples via a hash of the sample. This means that the sample can be moved anywhere on the drive and still be referenced.
For the non-technical, a hash is basically a unique value derrived from the sound file.
If you want to do sample reorganization of the +Drive, you might find elk-herd a more suitable tool for it than Transfer. It presents the +Drove as a tree and you can easily drag-n-drop reorganize. Just search it up on this forum for a link to it.
