I downloaded a Sound called "randomlyselectandplayentiresample.kym" from the Tweaki. It does exactly what I want -- plays samples from a folder I specify in random order without cutting off the playback.

My question: what do I need to do in order to use this in a timeline? I have tried "compile to disk" and that creates a "compiled sound file" that plays, but is not able to be dragged to my timeline, nor opened by Kyma.

Do I need to substitute actual file names and directories for the variables in the script?

Any help in pointing me in the right direction greatly appreciated.

If you know which folder you'd like to use, a workaround for now would be:

* In the Multisample, replace the ?filesInSameFolder with:

code:

---

{  | fileName  |
fileName := 'aou-carla.aif'.
fileName fileNamesOfSameTypeInSameFolder}

---

* In the Script, replace the code that opens the File dialog to ask you for a file and assigns it to the variable FileName with:

code:

---

fileName := 'aou-carla.aif'.

---

You shouldn't have to do this with most scripts, but the Timeline is asking this one for how many output channels it has before the variables have been bound to actual values. We will try to fix this for next time. In the meantime, that workaround plays nicely with the Script (and has the advantageous side-effect of not asking you to locate the file all the time!
