Save as "filename inlet" for the sampler

[dullard]

I'm building a project with about 40 sampler modules and it would be really useful if I could feed it the filename to save samples under. Currently, unless I'm mistaken, the sampler can either save under a random filename or display a save as dialogue but either of these options is a headache for a large number of samplers. It would be really useful if I could programmatically create the filename.

Cheers

I use a Variable ( see image). Name your patch in the "name field". It will change the name of your patch. Now you can "save random ". Each name will start with your patch name and a random number. Put this patch inside the patch where you have your sampler.

This is going to be usefull...A few weeks ago, i tried to find a solution to automatically rename patch. Mr senso point me to a solution with concatstrings. I was not able to succeed...Thanks moody33!

I will also keep in my mind this kind of use of a variable with IML....

Sorry, just forget this : fill in blank strings ( string 2 of concat n°1 and concat n°3) with "Quotation marks"

Thanks a lot, moody33. That's really useful.

...or you could get rid of the first ConcatStrings module and put the first quote at the end of the first text (comment) module.
