    Very good idea,

    we'll install an art and x-file (whistling) sharing section in the user area.

    best wishes

    good to hear such considerations. a kind of file-exchange for .art- and .exs-files is already planned - if herb is fine with expanding it to .nki/.nkm- and .fxp/.fxb-files, no problem.
    regarding naming-issues: there is already a difference between the names of the waves within the .gig-files to the .wav-files within EXS (you know, this bad 31-letters-issue) - it should be possible to setup some database for synchronizing the different naming-conventions

    ps: please don't expect it to be up and running *tomorrow* - a lot of tasks is already in the queue
    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    Hi,

    I had some days off until today and, well, I am very happy to see, that there seem to be quite some positive reactions and - best of all, Herb likes the idea as well. Thank you (and your team) for your cooperative and effective attitude once again. I have seen so many companys rejecting efficient ideas just because they feared to loose their "absolute power" and control over their products!

    Yes, I have been aware of the naming issue and I was just curious with what you guys come up with. I will bug Bernard of CDXtract to implement a conversion-option that would provide an intelligent function to re-reference and fix the wave-file-links within any .exs, .fxp or .nki-file without having to re-import the whole wave-data. I am thinking of

    1. A search-algorithm, that would find waves within any kind of (sub-)folder-strucure
    2. A renaming-algorithm, that would even be able to re-reference files that are named differently according to a pre-defined condition-set

    If anyone had a good wire to Garth of Chickensys, maybe he would be interested in such a very helpful option, too. This even seems to be no real "VSL-special", IMO it was very helpful for ANY user to be able to use exactly the same wave-pool-folder for a .nki, exs and/or .fxp-patch at the same time.

    Cm, how could such a database-thing look like in the real world? Sounds very interesting, but I have no idea how this could be done.

    All the best
