Removing instruments from OpenOctave database

Post by rastagallo »

Hi!
I know that is a n00b question, but how I can delete the instruments that I added to the OpenOctave's instrument database?
I imported few from Linuxsampler, but I made it wrong and now I have some unusable instruments...
If it's possible, I would like to delete all the instruments and import my own midi maps from LinuxSampler!

hi,

see :

Code: Select all

~/.config/OOMidi/instruments
your custom instruments should be in there, to be deleted as you wish

I coded the feature to delete instruments, but it is not yet released. if you're in a playfull mood you can build OOM from source from our development repo :
git.openoctave.org/oom.git

and make sure you buil from the 'deufrai/instrudelete' branch

Please let me know how it goes and be welcome on #openoctave on Freenode's IRC for some feedback and support :)

And use Qrest, it won't hurt : http://www.qrest.org

There is no "instruments" folder there .-.

I just imported an instrument from linuxsampler and it ended up in that very location

Where did you get OOM from ?
What version are you running ?

Weirdness ...

Assuming you instrument is named 'foo', what I can suggest : try to locate where your instruments files are stored like this :

Make sure OOM is not running

Code: Select all

sudo updatedb
locate foo
Then delete the unwanted ones and then start OOM

And I'll be of course curious to know where those instrument files were stored

PEACE
