custom loading/complete label

I'd like to have a big friendly loading /complete animated label. This is how I thought I could do it. But async finishes even when the samples are still loading into ram (sampler mode) I also tried using get_purge_state in a while statement with the label change after that, but i couldn't get it to wait and THEN show the label state change, i'm not even sure that was going to work

Code:

on ui_control(load)
    infographic(system,0,$HIDE_PART_NOTHING)  {<- label visible showing wait state 0}
    $asyncID_purge := purge_group(mygroup, 1)
end on

on async_complete
    if ($NI_ASYNC_ID = $asyncID_purge)
        $asyncID_purge := -1
        if ($NI_ASYNC_EXIT_STATUS = 1)
            infographic(system,1,$HIDE_PART_NOTHING) {<- changes label to complete state 1}
        end if   
    end if
end on

 

"is_zone_empty" should work (not only for user zones) to check if a sample is actually loaded.

 

how would you structure it using "is zone empty" would it be a while loop or something else?

 

I wouldn't bother, Kontakt already has loading progress showing right below instrument header...

 

I quite like your idea of a loading label...

What I would try:
- Show the label on $load control (like you already did it)
- then hide the label again when the samples are un-purged with:
if (is_zone_empty(<number of the last zone of your group>) = 0)

 

Above wouldn't work because there's no guarantee that samples are loaded in the same order as they are in the groups.

 

Yeah. I just tried it myself and it does not work. And I'm not sure if purge (with non-user zones) really makes a zone empty.

 

thanks for your input guys. I guess the purge async id doesn't work as I expected
