Newbie questions re. file types and management
Some basic questions from a VI newbie.
I have successfully installed Structure Free and will probably upgrade to LE soon. Thanks to spkguitar’s excellent instructions I have those instruments located in the “C:\Program Files\Digidesign\Structure\Structure Factory Libraries\ Structure Free” folder. That’s all good, and works a treat, but of course I want more . . . So from my MBox2 Factory bundle, I installed xpand, which works fine, and Sampletank 2, which also works fine, but I cant find it’s samples/patches. Which brings me to my questions . . . 1. Do I need to run the xpand and Sampletank sample players to run their instruments, or can I access those instruments from within Structure? 2. What is the difference between a patch and a sample? 3. I am realising that all these formats have different filename extension. Can someone provide a list of the relevant extensions, eg. .patch, .ins, etc. so I can search for them with windows explorer? 4. Is it a good idea to move all the relevant patch and sample files into the “structure free” subfolder, or am I better to leave them in the default folders that were created when I installed the plugin applications? Thanks Mike

I just thought a general list of file extensions for all flavours of patches and samples etc. might be a useful reference tool. Cheers, Mike
