just thought id make you aware of a mistake i made that you probably wouldn't want to repeat..
Using 4.85, I loaded a program without the samples, in order to use the various settings to create a new program with new samples.
When i saved the new program with the new samples (with replace same sample:yes) any samples from the first program that were still allocated to a pad but innot currently in memory were wiped off my card.
In other words the MPC deleted samples from the orignal program because there was still a reference to them in the new program.
e.g: Pad 1 ?sample1
Also, i saved with "replace same sample:yes" because i had saved the program at various stages as i was going along, making adjustments to samples.
The weird thing was when i loaded the program back up it didn't give me a "file error file not found" message AND it didn't load samples which hadn't been deleted! -even though they were present in the same folder.
These last things made me wonder if it was actually a bug, and made me ask why if the mpc knows that the samples are missing in the first place why does it still try to save them!
anyway..i won't be doing that again anytime soon!
