Rapture LFO managment
Hello all , After recently installing the excellent Muz3um sounds ( THANKS FRANCESCO!) I've noticed that the lfo folder is full ( lots of my own in there too). If I were to want to install the latest galbanium sounds , how would I insure that the previous lfo's in the folder don't get wiped ?? . Am I going to have to change the names of two different folders in order to jockey back and forth between sound sets and not loose the descreet Lfo sets that belong with the individual sound sets ?? Thanks , Cheers

The folder is full? I haven't noticed any such restrictions and I've loaded in a couple of extra libraries including Francesco's and some of Tom's lfo stuff. Do you get a warning or something? Interesting.

Am I going to have to change the names of two different folders in order to jockey back and forth between sound sets and not loose the descreet Lfo sets that belong with the individual sound sets ?? Unfortunately, the answer is currently yes. There have been quite a few requests to expand on this process. I'm not sure that Rene envisioned that the future would see so many people/expansion packs filling up this feature. To be clear ... I'm sure that Rene considered it, but you just have to let some things go in preparing a product for distribution. It's not a great workaround, but there is something that you can do. If you keep your various LFOs in discrete folders, you can store them all under the main LfoWaveforms parent folder. Only the ones 'outside' of this subfolder structure will get scanned on launch. When it comes time to use a different set, highlight all 80 from its subfolder, and drop them into the parent LfoWaveform folder (overwriting what's there). You could also keep LFOs that are named outside of the LfoWaveform020.wav-to-LfoWaveform099.wav convention. It's more of a hassle to rename them back correctly again, though. LFO 0-19, and LFO 100-101 are mathematical algorithms that are internally generated. They can't be overwritten. But (as you've suspected), the Galbanum packs will overwrite every one of the 80 available slots. Last one loaded wins, and in order to reload the user-defined set, you have to do it 'offline', and re-launch Rapture. Don't shoot the messenger. This is killing any smooth sailing for my (future) AdRaptureLinn set, too. [Cakewalk] Feature Request page.

In the case of running out of LFOs I usually tend append the name of the expansion pack or sample set at the end of the folder name, so my Rapture content folder looks something like: Lfo Waveforms Lfo Waveforms_MyCustomLFOs Lfo Waveforms_brockwaveforms Lfo Waveforms_Galbanum Then rename the the folder I want to "Lfo Waveforms" when I want to use specific presets that reference those LFOs. I tend to bake in my custom LFO shapes to the STEPGEN section whenever possible using the "Copy Shape from LFO" feature in 1.1. Hope that helps, Chad

And he beats me to the punch, again... I like your process much better. There's less 'work' involved, and it lowers the risk of making a hurried mistake.

Hope that helps, Chad Thanks for the replys guys; Chad , I'll admit that I had'nt thought of the stepgen substitution : Brilliant!!! 100 lfo slots ....a great thing until it's realized how wonderfull the feature is and everyone gets used up !! Switching folders...Not Ideal, but the extra power of the customizable Lfo's makes it worth the work. Cheers

It's me who was the LFO hog.... guilty as charged. ;-) Sorry about that. The ones I made are pretty neato though. ;-) I have suggested to Rene to allow LFOs to be loaded and managed exactly the same way as normal Waveforms. This would allow an unlimited number of LFO waveforms. I believe it is on the the to-do list, but don't quote me. He/they certainly are aware of the issue though.
