This is giving me problems when creating a serial protection thingie.

I need the Load Text primitive to output a 0 or maybe "No file found" if no text file was found at the specified place.

As it is now it just keeps displaying what was found earlier. Not a biggie but it makes my serial thing not work.

The trigger output "Trigger sent when done" doesn't trigger if the path is invalid, so I'm sure a module can be done to to this. But such a module included with SM is a good idea.

Aah. Thanks for that tip. Now I think I can make a simple workaround.

Edit: Scratch that. No idea how to make a workaround for this.

Gotta love them penguins. I cant stop laughing when I see this couple.

Make sure the trigger to the switch has priority.

p.s. love the penguin thing... 😀

Thanks oddson. A very minimalistic and simple solution. Love it.

But the idea of a load text prim that sends out a 1 if file found and a 0 if not is still valid I think.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
