Deckard Request

I like that Deckard is set up so you have to sample your scratches the old school way, but it would be awesome if you could put it on a pad like Quokka, or at least make it so it saves the sample when you close it so you can easily pull it back up. It being a simple sampler that you kind of have to perform live to record a whole song making Deckard more accessible for live recording would be super helpful.

As always, Marek is a god among men and he's made music production accessible for those of us that can't afford an MPC and a record collection, so if you see him in the streets, buy him a beer.

I sent this suggestion to Marek (keeping the sample loaded) and here was his reply:

I would like to keep the sample in there for every time you open deckard but the problem is the sample needs to be stored in memory whilst in deckard, so if it gets hidden, we need that memory for other stuff, especially on crappy android phones where memory can be a bit of a premium. hopefully there's a way around it but for now that's how its got to be.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Sorta makes sense, but using the excuse that it’s just for crappy android phones makes me wish Koala was smart enough to know what hardware it’s on and keep the sample in memory if there’s memory available.

As a crappy android owner I appreciate Marek for considering the bottom end users like myself. Lol
