Sample management and playback on M:S

[bibenu]

My understanding from reading here is that if you rearrange your samples (change name, move to another folder) then the m:s keeps track ok. It works because each file is internally identified by a unique signature (a ‘hash’) that is derived from the audio content.

Interested to find out what happens if you try to delete a sample that’s being used though.

The samples exist in the 64MB of RAM but are linked with hashes and there is no slot list to manage.
