Question (or Task)

I'm having troubles with things lingering in memory. For example when using the Memory Writer which is being fed by a Generic Source from disk, if I change the audio file that the Generic Source is pointing to, I sometimes get pieces of the old audio file spliced into the new audio file.

Solution(s)

For the time being, the only way to prezero a chunk of memory is to:

• Record a Constant of zero into that memory for the full duration OR
• Choose Initialize DSP from the DSP menu (zeroes all of the Capybara sample RAM)

(One of the things on our list for future improvements is to make it easier to zero a specific chunk of sample ram).

Hi there ... any word on whether this "future improvement" has been implemented. I suddenly find myself using a lot of Memory Writers and this would be a big help.
