AudioResources.dat cannot be found

Discussed in https://github.com/publicsamples/Oi-Grandad/discussions/13

^{Originally posted by **GuichardVictor42** November 20, 2022} Hey, I downloaded Oi! Grandad today when I saw it in a Venus Theory video, but when trying to load the plugin into Ableton Live, the interface shows up but is all blurred and I get the following error message: "The file C:\Users\victo\AppData\Roaming\modularsamples\oi grandad\AudioResources.dat couldn't be found." When downloading, I just put the unzipped folder '"oi.grandad.vst3.win" that only contains the file "oi grandad.vst3" in the folder by which Ableton accesses all the VST3s on my computer (which is just C:\VST3 Installations in my case), so I don't really know where I should find this additionnal .dat file. Could you please help me with this ? Thanks in advance and have a great day ! V. Guichard

Same problem with an M1 Mac, presets are shown but when I choose one, no audio files are loaded into the windows. I can load files manually but I don't know which audio files match the presets. The program works fine once I have loaded audio files manually, there should be a way to load the preset audio files into the proper locations, this isn't happening. If I knew where they are suppose to be, I could move the files to that location, then they should load with the preset. Does anyone know where the audio files should be located?

All samples and presets should be in:

/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/modularsamples/oi grandad

If you're having trouble, try this installer package. It will do it for you :)

Beautiful, the installer package did the trick. Thanks a lot, Rick, much appreciated. Sounds great. However, there are a lot of sound files missing. Most of the Factory sounds are there but most of the others have only a few files. The screen shows the file names but they aren't loaded. I did a manual search for the files, not found in any of the packages folders. Anyhow, I can at least use some of the presets. Are the remainder of the sound files available for download?

Sorry, I'm not really following you. Which presets are you talking about? there are only 10 included with the package on github. I sell an expansion pack that has a bunch more, did you buy that?

[psycoMixer]

No, I didn't. When I click on the red presets icon, it displays a number of categories, the presets downloaded through the link you provided are mostly in the "Factory" category, there are very few presets in any of the other categories. I probably won't use this product very often, I have better purchased products such as Imaginando's FRMS which also has add on packs available, and Steinberg's padshop2 for which I purchased the granular guitar presets which is just awesome. All of the programs allow me to use my own sample files if I wish. My newest purchase is a granular module for Cherry Audio's Voltage Modular. This module allows me to use my own samples or I can record live right into the program, very convenient. The Granular Guitars package is my favorite, hands down! I create samples using au plugins on Logic, then I use the multitude of effects I have to produce the end product, seldom sounds much like the original, they only supply the base sound. Thanks for your assistance, much appreciated.

No idea. Try this.

Delete the Oi grandad folder found in /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/modularsamples, then reinstall.

Yup, those plugins by established industry giants are pretty cool.
