How to transfer Simpler and Drum racks' presets ?

Post by chapelier fou » Wed Feb 20, 2013 9:03 pm

Hi,
(Maybe a dumb question, especially after using live for years)

I am working on an another computer for a specific project. I managed to transfer all my own operator sounds to the 2nd computer. No surprise.
But how would you do for Simpler and Drum Racks' presets, referring to samples ?
Thank you for your help.

Does "Collect All & Save" not transfer all the samples to the project? I was under the impression that it did... but it might only do it for samples that you've actually used.

Sorry, wasn't referring to a Live 'project'.

when you save a Simpler/Sampler device, the referenced samples are copied to the Live Library, but the exact location depends on how the original sample was added (recorded, imported, consolidated or cropped)

so look in these places:
Live Library/Samples/Imported
Live Library/Samples/Recorded
Live Library/Samples/Processed/Consolidate
Live Library/Samples/Processed/Crop

the easiest way to make sure they're all there is to just copy the Live Library/Samples folder
