How to retrieve the file path of a sample?

Post by J00S » Thu Aug 28, 2014 11:30 am

Is there any way to retrieve the file path of a clips sample?
I would like to send the path to an external program and read it's id3 tags.

I just started using Max and the Live API, but searching Google or reading through the Live API documentation didn't give me any insight of how to access the sample or it's path info.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I could be wrong here, but I bet you won't be able to access a files path from within sampler. Perhaps from a clip though. I'll have to double check all that though.
