How Samples Are Handled

The Library Creator features two different folders for samples: the Private Audio Folder and the Public Audio Folder. Samples in the Private Audio Folder can be used by HALion, HALion Sonic, and HALion Sonic SE, but are not accessible via the MediaBay. Samples in the Public Audio Folder can be accessed via the MediaBay, which means that they can be selected and loaded by the user.

When you add presets that make use of samples, all samples are added to the Unassigned Samples list. From here, you can add them, or a selection of them, to a VST Sound container by dragging them onto the Structure or the Content section.

If you add samples this way, the samples are added to the Private Audio Folder. You can create further subfolders within this folder to structure your samples.

If you want your samples to be accessible via the MediaBay, you must add a Public Audio Folder to the VST Sound container and drag the samples into this folder. Samples in this folder are seen by the MediaBay and the Browser.
