Purge samples extremely slow

Hi guys I'm new here so go easy on me


I've been playing around with my new 2500 but have noticed when I purge a lot of samples it ends up taking around 20 mins or more.

My workflow right now is:

1: Loads up a few folders of one shot drums so I can preview them on the pads on the program screen. This could be 80mb or so.
2: Make my programs out of the hundreds of sounds loaded
3: Make beat
4: Purge everything I'm not using before I save


Right now the problem is the length of time it takes to purge all those one shots.

From what I've read there is no way to preview sounds within programs without loading them into ram first. It's nice to be able to scroll through sounds while a sequence is playing etc

I did a search but the most recent thing I found was from 2006.

I'm wondering what people are doing now?

Whats the best workflow?


Thanks

M

that´s exactly how i do it. for me purging is really fast. but i am on jjosxl 3.18. i guess you are running the akai os?

Hi!

I don't suppose you could time how long it takes you? I wonder if it is just the akai OS


I just purged two folders worth of hits. 351 hits. 30mb of one shots and it took about 6 minutes.

Not exactly ideal.

it´s a matter of microseconds. not really noticeable.

i´d recommend jjos to ANY 1000 and 2500 users. fvck the akai os. jjos is miles ahead...

Fixed on JJOS!!

I use the Akai OS on my 2500 and it can take like 20 minutes sometimes to purge samples. I try not to use the purge function ever, since it interrupts my workflow pretty seriously to do so.
