Save Samples within VST on export

Csound Noobs

Hello, thanks for an amazing platform first of all! It is great!
I am able to playback the samples from the folder where the .csd file is at the moment.
But when I export VST and open it in Ableton, there is no sound, Is it possible to embed the samples into VST file?

FIGURED IT OUT, put samples inside .vst/Contents file.
That is great!

Or you can use the bundle() identifier which makes things much easier.

p.s. I formatted your code, if you don’t select and click the </> button, much of your code will not appear when you post…

thanks, i ll have a look into that, now i am trying to trigger the sample with a button but somehow cannot get the button to print in the console

   instr 1

kButtonValue chnget "bu1"
   if changed(kButtonValue) == 1 then
      event "i", 99, 0, .25, 60
      printk2 kButtonValue
   endif

endin

It’s working fine here. Are you sure you didn’t mean to write ‘but1’ instead of ‘bu1’ ?

Was trying different names)) Here is the whole code, no button action for some reason…

<Cabbage> bounds(0, 0, 0, 0)
form size(850, 430), caption("NYH DRUM"), pluginID("n123")
image bounds(64, 154, 182, 183) file("../0005400029_10.jpg")
keyboard bounds(360, 20, 263, 207)
button bounds(86, 54, 80, 40) channel("but1")

Don’t forget that it won’t print anything unless the instrument is playing. In your case that means a note is pressed. In the sample code below I have instrument set to play automatically in the score. Pressing the button here prints to console fine:

<Cabbage>
form size(500, 130), caption("Untitled"), colour(34, 34, 34)
button bounds(10, 10, 110, 40), channel("bu1"), text("Hit me")

kButtonValue chnget "bu1"
if changed(kButtonValue) == 1 then
  ;event "i", 99, 0, .25, 60
  printk2 kButtonValue
endif
endin

Huge thanks for this “i1 0 z” magic.
I would spent weeks trying to figure out that myself.
Thanks again!
Have a great day!

Not that you will probably one trigger an instrument like this from the score when you are developing effects. I find it’s easier to trigger synths from MIDI notes.
