Problems loading samples into "sample osc" in Flex

Tremor · Post by **Tremor** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 9:56 am

First I want to say i'm completely new in this modular universe. I'm just exploring Flexor by some of the factory patches. In the patch "Welxor to Flecome" you have to import audio samples into the sample osc. But everytime I try this the module shows "cannot load ....sample". I tried to import wav and pulsar files in different sizes with no success.
I hope someone can help..
Thanks lot,
Simon

I'm still learning when it comes to all things modular but I will try and help.
So you have the original sample from the patch? How are you trying to load samples? Mabye try to drag n drop the file into the sample Osc.
I'm not familiar with the patch you mention so can you tell me if it has a sample pool module loaded?

The Creamware sample oscillators are limited to 16 bits files, not like the the STS samplers that load 16, 24 and 32bits fixed.

Yes, as far as I remember the patch has the sample pool module loaded. It was no problem to load samples into that module. And I tried to drag and drop them from there into the sample osc and I also tried to the same method from the general file browser. I will try to put in a 16bit sample. But also the provided test sample didn't work and should have had a working bit rate??
I read here about people saying to use an older version of the sample osc but didn't find a working link to dl, so perhaps that may be the key file..

I don't know of another version of the sample osc, though this doesn't mean there isn't one.

I tried get the same error message you are getting by loading a sample into the pool, saving the mod patch, moving the sample from the original location and then loading the mod patch again. I was still able to drag and drop the sample as if it were part of the pool?
Have you tried loading an empty modular and then loading a sample osc and pool ?
Can you then load samples?

I will try this, and this means I have to setup my very first patch

Will tell you then...

I have this problem with modular II and III.
I can't load any sample(samples from the original patches allready loaded in pool) in anything.
always get the "cannot load xxxxxxxx.wav" error.

I've not used my modular to it's full potential bacause of this problem.

Anyone have an answer to this problem?

Thanks
