A Sonik Capsutes/ST2 folders quesiton

[DarkStar]

First of,, I'd like to say a big thanks for my SampleTHANKS stuff:

- ordered on Saturday,
- despatched on Tuesday,
- delivered (in the UK) on Friday morning.

- installed and explored since then.

One item that I bought was the Sonik Capsules Electric Guitars and I have a question:
- at the moment all the instruments are in one folder
- they appear as a long list in ST2,
- can I add more folders (Gretch, Les Paul, Strat etc) and move the files, including the presets, into them?

This way I hope to see the new folders listed, then the instruments and presets at the next level, so there is less scrolling up and down for me to do.

ST2 instruments are totally portable, and can live in, and be moved between, any folders inside your root directory(which itself can be changed at any time in the preferences menu). Remember to copy all three files that comprise the instrument, .stw, .sti and .sth. Note also that child presets, .stip files, must reside in the same folder as their "parent" instrument, but within the folder, they appear as files among the other files in alphabetical order and not necessarily in any proximity to their parent, and include no identifying information as to their parent that you can see, so list them before you move anything so they don't get orphaned.

Moving may require relisting, but I don't know for sure because I have relist on launch set in my preferences.

I have mine set up similarly and it works fine. I for instance dropped my Sonik Capsule Studio Drums into ST2's drum folder and it shows up fine along side ST2's stock drum sounds. Something you can do to test it is copy ALL your sounds to a backup folder, then catagorize the original folder to your liking. Make sure you hit "relist" after opening ST2 after rearranging everything so ST2 see's the new catagorization. If it gives you problems, just delete the newly catagorized folder and use the original backup folder you made.

Oops, guess we were typing at the same time, Bassballjg.

thanks guys, it's good to know.
I'll try it later on.
I'll need to keep an eye on the .stip files, as you said.
