SCLOrkSamples
Extension
ExtensionDescription
SCLOrkSamples was created to facilitate loading hundreds or thousands of sound samples into Buffers, for example from a folder. If folder contains sub-folders, SCLOrkSamples will use the names of subfolders to "nickname" the samples (ie the keys in the dictionary will be chosen based on sub-folder names, plus a counter number). See below for more information.
An optional GUI makes it easy to browse and audition the sample collection.
You will need to increase the number of buffers available if you are loading more than 1024 samples. See the ServerOptions Help File.
First code examples:
* Only letters and numbers, dash or underscore as separators are OK
* No spaces or other characters (punctuation etc)
* Make sure first character is a lowercase letter
* First character cannot be a number

It's OK if folder contains sub-folders, but not sub-sub-folders. Samples will be loaded into Buffers. Dictionary entries (keys) referring to Buffers will be named automatically using parent folder as main name, and then a number. For example, if a folder named "drums" contains three files called "snare.wav", "kick.wav", "hihat.wav", the dictionary will refer to them as \drums0, \drums1, \drums2. Files will be loaded in alphabetical order. |
