Convolution Reverb IR location

Hey,

I am currently having a play with the GUI scripts from the Kontakt Factory Library and was wondering how I can change this:

_load_ir_sample(...
!ir_path[%offset_reverb[$category_reverb]+get_control_par...
(%subcat_menu_id[$category_reverb],$CONTROL_PAR_VALUE)],$reverb_slot,1)

so instead of the IRs being loaded from the ir_samples folder in the resource container they can be loaded from any specified location on a windows pc, for example the normal documents folder. I can see in the manual that the area I have reded out is the thing that needs changing but I am not entirely sure what to! Essentially, I want to make sure the same effect is achieved but just pulling the samples from a different folder.

 

You should just put the IRs you want to use in the Resources/ir_samples folder, then you can just refer to them by name (without extension).

Of course, you cannot redistribute Kontakt factory library IRs.

 

I am currently working on a sort of GUI template that I can use for all the samples I have made, I have integrated the IR samples of the Simplicity Bricasti collection but the total file size is something like 400mb which if I have duplicated for every one of my kontakt instruments will take up quite a lot of storage. I was thinking I could just have one version of the IRs that all my instruments can access rather than having a version for each one to save storage. My intention is to use it only on my personal computer and laptop. So is it worth setting up a master location because I haven't got a lot of space particularly on my laptop.

 

In that case, place your IRs at %DOCUMENTS%\Native Instruments\Kontakt 5, or just \Kontakt in case of Kontakt 6. Then load IRs simply by using get_folder($GET_FOLDER_LIBRARY_DIR) & "ir_samples/" & filename.extension.

 

so replace all of this: (!ir_path[%offset_reverb[$category_reverb]+get_control_par...
(%subcat_menu_id[$category_reverb],$CONTROL_PAR_VALUE)]

with get_folder($GET_FOLDER_LIBRARY_DIR) & "ir_samples/" & filename.extension? Then if I have done declare !ir_path[134] in my script for all the IRs do I just do get_folder($GET_FOLDER_LIBRARY_DIR) & "ir_samples/" & !ir_path[134]

 

Depends how things are declared in !ir_path, but roughly yes.

 

That's great, i'll try that out. Thanks for your help!
