how to use Resources using LUA scripting?

[m.tarenskeen]

If I include a SysEx file – for example with Factory preset data, or Initial voice parameters – in the Resources of my panel, how can I access this included file from a LUA script, just like an external file? I want to load such data if I start the panel or maybe add an “INIT” button in my panel.

Try this

init_patch = MemoryBlock()
init_patch:createFromTable({0xF0, 0x00, 0x20, 0x33, 0x01, …, 0xF7})

Thanks, but that is not what I meant. (BTW: how could anyone know such a thing? The Ctrlr API still lacks any proper documentation)

I want to load an external *.syx file in the Resources section of Ctrlr and save it with my panel when I export as *.panelz including resources. (just like I can include an image or fontfile). Then I want to know if I have access to such files from within a LUA script.

I know that’s not what you asked for, but for a single patch, or a bunch of patches, it’s easier to store them inside a script. At the end, the result is the same (storing internally some data).

I never imported such kind of data as a resource, only images and fonts, so I can’t give you a better reply.

To look for help with the API, look here: https://www.juce.com/api/classes.html
