Hi NAS,

You need to click on the area covered by the bitmap (not ideal I know). Have you tried clicking nearer to the top-left corner of the module?

Yeah it doesn't work at all, It used to in an earlier version but doesn't now. Its not a problem anyway i prefer to use strings, Less components 🙂 Its not me though 😉

Does this happen with the supplied components (in the toolbox) ?

Yep The loader comes up so that you can pick a file but when you select a file it wont load ? Its not the file because you can go download the slider i made using a string path in the early adopters ? I noticed it a couple of versions back but im not sure which, I thought oh must be me but it isn't, I remember doing it in a version possibly G

Ok, sorry I didn't realise you'd got as far as the file dialog. I see what you mean now. Leave it with me.

Ok, I know what it is now. We changed the Bitmap component to have a trigger for loading the bitmap from the path you attach. This allowed you to disconnect the trigger, followed by the string (in that order) leaving you with a bitmap that you could copy and paste or move around. Before this, detatching the string would clear the bitmap.

Anyway, we should have updated the modules in the toolbox to take account of this. All you need is a link from the OK output of the File Dialog component to the Load input of the Bitmap component and all will be fine.

Nice one. I think i'll stick to strings though 😉

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    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.
