Problems With Refill Packer

[Puniho]

I am attempting to create a refill, but keep getting an error report saying "unresolved references". I have tracked this down to the combinators folder. If I remove that, it creates the refill fine. So I tried just one single combi in the folder and that worked ok apart from advising me it referenced the soundbanks. WHen I tried with two combis I was back to square one, so there is clearly something odd going on .

Anyone have any ideas..?

Could it be that you're using a skin for that combi, which it can't find anymore? (stab in the dark...)

I thought of that and checked to make sure it was in the folder, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

Im trying to make a refill for Grain, so it needs all the samples. I've got a folder with the samples in, but when I check through the patches, there are ones where the sample is located somewhere else on my hard drive. WHen I move them into the specified folder, and try to open the patch again, I then have to tell it where teh sample is and resave the patch. Its proving quite tedious.

Soundcells had problems with his grain refill also at the beginning

Oh right, I know what's happening: Refill Packer doesn't take custom samples into account. There is a workaround though; it's a bit cumbersome, but it works. Try this:

- In your Refill folder, place all patches and samples (you can put samples in a subfolder if you wish).
- Pack that.
- Open your new Refill in Reason.
- Load each patch. It will show a "sound not found" dialog: use "Replace" to locate the sample that is now inside your Refill (not the one that is in your folder!).
- Re-save the patch in the Refill folder. The patch now references correctly the sample that's in the Refill, and doesn't reference the original sample anymore.
- Once you've re-saved all patches, re-pack the Refill.

Done, it should now work!

Ah! Thats worth a try thanks!
