Reference Manager Preferences |
The Reference Manager is an extremely powerful portion of Translator. It allows full fixing of sample references for unlinked samples.
Catalog Option on Failed Sample Search
When checked, Translator will give you the full range of options concerning fixing your reference. If this is not checked, you just get a “where is the sample” Open dialog.
Default: Unchecked
Force Cataloging / Display Replace Dialog
When checked, it assumes the first sample reference cannot be found (even though it may be there). This enables you to redirect to another location that the control file may not even be pointing to. If Display Replace Dialog is checked, then the Replace References dialog is shown and even allows you to look for a different set of samples with different names!
Default: Unchecked (both)
Automatically change references of source files if changed
Translator usually just changes the references on the fly and doesn't rewrite the source file. When this option is checked, it does.
Default: Unchecked
Use Parent Folder Name to determine between duplicates
If you go looking for samples using Catalog, sometimes Translator may find more than one instance of the sample file. IN cases like that, checking this option makes it prefer sample files that have the same parent folder name as the reference.
Default: Checked
Use first sample found unconditionally
Translator goes with the first sample it finds and stops there.
Default: Checked
Custom Drive Letter
Default: Unchecked
Update Control Files if data in Sample File is different
Oftentimes, a control file doesn't just hold the sample reference, it will also hold the loop points and on/off data, root key, fine tune, etc. Checking this option and selecting what parameter you want updated will update the control file so it is in sync with the newly referenced sample. Do not prompt means that Translator will not prompt you when this happens.
Default: Unchecked
Do not require external Sample Files to be present for translation (if data not needed)
Sometimes you don’t care if the samples are there or not. Not all formats need information from the sample; usually the control file has all the info they need. Checking this option makes Translator simply pass the reference and not check for validity. The additional options are mainly fpr EXS24, which needs to know certain things for the EXS24 file to be written correctly.
Default: Unchecked
