OP-XY: samples embedded in presets appear in sample browser — expected behavior?

OP-XY

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand how the OP-XY handles samples that are embedded in sampler presets.

Here is the situation:

I have a sampler preset stored in the presets folder, with its own .preset folder containing the patch.json file and the WAV file used by the preset. The sample is not located in the MTP samples folder.

For example, the structure is something like:

presets/
  My Presets/
    MySamplerPreset.preset/
      patch.json
      my-sample.wav

The patch.json references the sample like this:

"sample": "my-sample.wav"

The preset loads correctly, and the sample is only physically present inside the preset folder.

However, on the OP-XY, this sample also appears in the internal sample browser, even though it is not in the MTP samples folder.

So my question is:

Is this expected behavior?
Does the OP-XY sample browser index all audio files used by presets, even if they are stored inside .preset folders?
And is there any way to prevent embedded preset samples from appearing in the general sample browser?

I would like to keep preset-specific samples bundled with their presets, but avoid cluttering the sample browser with samples that are not meant to be used as standalone user samples.

Thanks!

It’s a mess, but this is the expected behaviour, yes. I would also like a way around this clutter

What I do is ensure all the samples and sample folders not in a preset start with an uppercase letter. This keeps them at the top of the sample browser list. Sample presets default to starting with a lowercase letter and end up bottom end of the sample browser list. (But numbers come first, so there are some sample presets that end up at the very top)

Otherwise, as mentioned, it’s a bit of a mess. There should at least be a toggle for toggling between samples and preset samples.
