How to Share & Export Instrument Patches with Samples?
Thanks for your help in advance! I’m trying to figure out the best way to share instruments made with the sampler. On export they don’t save the samples also, so they don’t import properly. Any ideas?

when you press save on your project there is the option to save with samples.
I saw that, but what about another person being able to import the instruments (with samples) into their project?
you export that project with samples
the other person opens the project
now save the instrument as preset
It's just a matter of saving the correct files:
/Presets/Sampler/Factory/Instruments/Nylon guitar.drmodule
/Samples/Instruments/Bank 1/Nylon guitar/*.wav
I prefer to do all that using Drambo's WebDAV feature. You can use Readdle Documents to access Drambo's file system or mount it from a desktop Windows or MacOS machine and put these files into a zip archive, retaining the above path structure to simplify import on the destination iDevice.
Thank you both for the suggestions! Nice to see there’s more than one approach. Do you know if there are any dev plans be able to export a ‘Instrument container’ or ‘instrument with samples’ of some sort in the future so that it’s easier for users to import?
+1 for a Drambo equivalent to ‘Save as monolith’ in Kontakt patches.
@rs2000 is there a 3rd level I need to also zip for the instruments that were built out from the sampler?
@giku Any plans for something like this? It would make it a lot easier for patch sharing etc.
I don't think so.
@rs2000 thanks for your help! I have a question since you seem knowledgeable and don’t want to start another thread unnecessarily. Are drum rolls/note repeat possible?
Yes!
Option 1: Retrigger individual notes using sequencer step components
Option 2: Delay the gate signal and duplicate it by setting the Delay FX Mix to 50/50
Ok thanks! Is this method better than using the Arp module and setting ‘mode’ as ‘play’?
Which is better is totally up to you. There's no right or wrong in Drambo, that's the charm of modular synthesis 👍🏼
