I finished the major parts of a polyphonic and multitimbral live re-sampling tool i created for live performance.

It works great... thanks to kyma! It would have taken me ages to implement this one with the "popular tools" i used before kyma...;-)

But now during performance i was wondering how do i "backup" or save the nice "Memoryslots" i created while (re-)sampling live percussions and internal kyma samples etc.

How do i preserve those nice samples and save them with my snapshots to later re-use them and extend my kyma sample library?

I came up with the simple idea to "trigger" a plain "sample sound" with "enabled FromMemoryWriter" option in the background. As it is triggered it plays back direct into a DiskRecorder. Works great!
The sample is saved to disk so i can copy it to my sample directory and re-use it next time i startup my live tool.

...but stop... what is if come up with even a better sample during that performance in this memorylocation?

Quote from "Prototypes Reference" PDF :

Trigger:
"You cannot retrigger without replaying the DiskRecorder (so you will not accidently write over what you have just captured on disk"

So does this mean it only works once when i started the DiskRecorder as a part of a sound?

I recognized that the DiskRecorder is obvious not intended to be used as a SAVE sample in memory replacement ... ;-)
But since i did not found any other way to write a sample from a MemoryWriter to Disk during live performance
i thought it is damn close to what i need ... save while play...

now my question:
Is it possible to modify the DiskRecorder with an option that creates a new file with an incrementing suffix each time it is re-triggered?(!!!) Or even better .... a functionality like that of the "snapshots" function?
(maybe with memory number and corresponding Snapshot name?)

Is it possible to disable the metronome dialog?

Is there simply a better way to "preserve" my live captured and re-sampled heavily tweaked samples then the DiskRecorder? ("recording before tweaking" like for soundesign is not an option since samples are created on the fly during performance)

thanx for your patience
