C:\Multisamples? (What synth installed this?) [Dimension Pro, it seems]

UPDATE: It appears that the files below all belong to the Dimension Pro installation, but there are no .prog files associated with them (so they will not load in DP even if they are moved). However, they do have 187 .sfz files embedded, which will open and play the samples using sfozando or the ARIA Player.
 
The issue I noted in this thread with the ARIA player turned out to be a mismatch in the associated .dll files between sforzando and the ARIA player. This was resolved by uninstalling them all and only loading the ARIA player (the ARIA player is a beefed up version of sfozando used by Garritan). IIRC, I had sforzando installed first on my old machine, then the ARIA player; when I installed sforzando after the ARIA player was when I got the problems noted in this thead.
 
----Original Post below----
Hi all. I just reinstalled SONAR (manual installation from downloads), and when I began sorting things, I noticed a C:\Multisamples folder with these contents:
 
I installed all content, so both Rapture and Dimension Pro are installed. The Garritan Pocket Orchestra only had one subdirectory and file (->Woodwinds->OboeSolo.sfz) which I *thought* was a fix to Dimension Pro at some point, but the other directories do not match names. I ended up copying this to both the Rapture and Dimension Pro Multisample folders, but after a refresh (F5), these do not show up, and I cannot find any associated .prog files (they are all in Cakewalk Sound Center, DropZone, Rapture, and Dimension Pro), so even with Multisamples loaded they will not run anyway.
 
 
Anyone know offhand what program installed these and where the .prog are? I ended up moving this folder to another drive and nothing gave me a fit about it, so I am curious where they came from.
 
FYI to folks about reloading DimPro and Rapture - since we have received a truckload of freebies over the years, it is far simpler to just install the synth and copy over a backup of your Multisamples (C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro [or Rapture]) and Programs (C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro [or Rapture]) subdirectories for each synth. It saves worrying about re-installing all of those installers. If you have loaded a LOT of things over the years, it is highly recommended to make backups of those directories.

Of the two Dpro and Rapture - this looks like Dpro although I do not recall Rapture Scapes in DPro.
I have one massive Multisample folder. It is hard for me to tell the source of the files.
 

Hmmm, I assumed this was DimPro, but the prog files are not present (banks 26-98 do not show up in the DimPro browser), *and* my DimPro browser has different names -  05 - Drums, 13 - Leads, 18 - Splits, 19 - Drum Grooves. These all have prog files that load into DimPro. The ones in the OP do not.
 
I installed DimPro to a bare slate, and used the default (C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples) directory, and *most* of everything installed there (around 4GB).
 
Is this from the DimPro installer I used (I used 1.5.5.16 (newest), but have a others I kept)?

C:\Multisamples is not a default path for any Cakewalk synth.

tru dat, looks like an error in the installer

Assuming it was an error in one of the installers which defaulted to that path, just try renaming the stray multisamples folder temporarily, so that whatever installed it there recently cannot find it. 
 
Then insert each synth and try to load the presets, and see which one has missing samples.  Simples!

These are samples not programs. It may be possible to guess which programs reference the samples. My RPro has ~19000 programs. While that looks like a lot, I would not be surprised if others have many more if they purchased many of the DSF DPro expansion packs.

I had an occasion or two when files don't show up in Dim Pro. Restarting didn't help.  What fixed it was hitting F5 when the Dim Pro browser has focus.

Virtual B3 was a Dimension expansion pack.  I am guessing though that this might be Sound Center.

Thanks Steve. I will run back through an install cycle on these later on (I am running out of steam now). I did just do a check to confirm that there are *no* "05 - Guitars" prog files on the entire machine (only a sample directory), so not sure how sforzando is doing things. DimPro is loading prog files, sforzando seems to loading by samples (confirming your post above). The mismatch is between the two... 05 is "Drums" in the programs directory, but "Guitars" in the Multisamples.
 
sforzando in Win7 compatibility mode only launches in standalone cleanly one time, after that it goes back into its "do loop," so will research that a bit later as well.

I just loaded Dim Pro, runs fine. I don't seem to have sforzando... ???

It's a third party sound font player.  Cakewalk had sfz and sfz+
 
sforzando is by Plogue, the people behind the Aria engine used by Garritan and others.
