Feed a filename into the primitive and it outputs a boolean if the file exists. This way it can be very simple to check up on the distrubution that it contains all necesery files.

Wont the find files primitive do this ? I haven't checked so it is only a suggestion 😉

Nope, it only has a done trigger, and output as a string array. No way to really find if a file exists unless one is intresting in putting together a parser to scan through the strings to compare names, something that I find is highly irrelevant and utterly inefficient.

Brilliant I was about to go do an example of this to show it wasn't utterly irrelevent and highly ineffiecent and you have already done it Awesome SS 😉

    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.
