wave loader/drum pad

I connected the wave loader in the attached fsm to a drum pad and there's a problem. the pad works and the loader works in it's own right but won't load a sound into the drum pad. thinking of making an 8 pad drum machine based on this kind of loading system but can't figure out why it wont work. if anyone on the forum can help with this I would be very grateful.cheers.

Your wave was only loading into the wave player used for the display but not the other one.
I've modified it so you're now using the "display" wave player for the sound so the other stuff isn't needed. Works fine!

thanks for the fix spogg. as always seems to be the case the solution is staring me right in the face!. wanted to make a kind of tribute to the oberhiem dmx drum machine so having a link to one particular folder seemed the way to go. i've made a couple of drum machines that i'll be posting up soon and when they load a sound they open up the last folder I used on my pc which might be pictures or documents or whatever. this is a much better system. thanks.

been trying to use my own custom buttons in the wave loader you fixed up for me. when I press the button it loads a wav but loads another when I release the button as well. been faffing around with it but can't seem to get it sorted. if it's just not possible then that's cool i'll just use the existing buttons. it works fine but I'm really into the graphic design side of flowstone and want to have a specific look to my projects. cheers.

It sounds like you're getting a trigger on release as well as when pressed.
Maybe you could try a Trigger Switch prim. This only allows a trigger to pass through when the control input is boolean True (or value 1). It's really a trigger gate.
