PACKed pgms are awesome

they save/load quickly and are nice and neat in your project folder. for the first time once i find myself enjoying being able to create/save different drum pgms or chopped break pgms for use in multiple projects. before you'd have to have a folder that was cluttered with both drum samples and pgm files...no more.

however, i think there may be a problem when saving the entire project. could someone confirm this before i send it off to murai?

1- load sample
2- chop sample
3- make pgm
4- pack pgm
5- save entire memory to a new folder
6- clear RAM
7- load packed pgm from saved folder
8- unpack and change the pgm (change parameters, add new samples, etc)
9- repack
10- resave all memory to same new folder.
BUG: (i think) packed pgms are not overwritten.

again, i THINK this happened to me this morning but i am not sure cuz i had to go to work and couldn't test.
would appreciate someone saving me the time if they could give this a whirl.

thanks

Confirmed. Took a shortcut though (program I'd already made). From step 4 I replicated your procedure three times, same outcome every time.

Packed programs are not overwritten!

I'm confused on what you mean by "packed" pgms

reported. thanks jungleman

Hello. Is this issue fixed yet?
thx

Yes. JJ fixed it right away:

3. It will not be overwritten, if it saves by ENTIRE MEMORY when overwriting a pack program.

ok cool. thx!

Once I pack a program, I can't really edit the NDC slices anymore, seems like NDC can't find the sample inside the packed program. Is this normal? If so, it would be a disadvantage and should be fixed IMO

Did you try unpacking the packed program before editing it?

Yeah I know you can do that, but in that case I'll just keep using normal programs; no problem with them

Anybody figure out the Drum Packs yet?
