Feature Request: Project Load Indicator

WizzardPascal wrote:Feature Request: Project Fully-Loaded Indicator

Hi,
I’m playing on an MPC Key 61 and I often work with projects that contain a lot of samples. If I press play too quickly, it’s possible for the sequence to start before some of the samples have fully loaded, which results in silence or missing sounds.

It would be very helpful to have a clear indicator or message showing when the project is fully loaded and ready to play on the instrument. This way, users can be sure that playback will include all samples without issues.

Thanks for considering this!

The difference is they are loaded as a background process (rather than staying within the browser with a progress bar), hence why the OP observes that sample-heavy projects initially have silent pads. I can absolutely confirm that 'silent pads' are most definitely still a thing. It can take up to 30 seconds for an audio heavy project to fully load.
