Coo coo, just making sure that I’m saving my project correctly. Glad I’m not the only one. I know these files are only 16kbs each, but there’s a lot of them! Lol
Yes, there are a lot, and having all of them slows things down. I think Roland did it this way so that they could load what amounts to an entire and fully loaded project into RAM so operations would be fast. What's odd is, things like adding a new song, etc aren't in the performance path (i.e. you wouldn't do this while recording, etc). So, I'm still confused on the choice to do this.
Hopefully what I'm working on will speed things up, and as far as the songs, the end result will only be files on disk which are actually used in the project. So, if you have 2 songs, there will only be files related to those 2 songs.
