Anyone know how to get Thumbjam to unload a sample?
I've found that it's impossible to eliminate instruments previously loaded into Thumbjam's slots. They simply come back into the empty slots on re-launch. I've tried to eliminate this by using saved Multi's, but on loading or re-launch, the un-necessary instruments keep returning.
Anyone got any advice on how to keep an empty instrument slot empty, once it is cleared?

Let me look into it, it may be a bug.
I'm not seeing this behavior. After unloading the other slots (double tap on it in the splits popup, and choose Unload), I leave the app, or force quit it. Upon relaunch the unloaded slots remain unloaded. Can you describe your steps exactly? I assume you have the latest update of TJ?
This was quite a long time ago and I've just been dealing with it as it's been a busy time of life for me, but I can confirm that it's happening. I'm trying to leave slots 7 and 8 open so that MIDI channels 15 and 16 can be used by other apps (TJ is listening from 9 up). Two 'Hang' instruments are constantly returning after being deleted (on any app or patch reboot)
No matter how thoroughly I save inside TJ and Audiobus, they always come back on a system reboot. If I load the multi again after opening ThumbJam, they also remain (I even tested deleting, immediately changing to a different multi and then reloading the saved one.. they came back).
A long shot, but I've seen this happen in my setup. I have MIDI Program Change messages going to MIDI channels above the primary channel that the first instrument slot listens to. I use 2 voices of TJ, so normally communicate on 2 channels, but when I did some things wrong in my setup and sent PC messages on other, higher channels, the voices for those channels would seem to "reappear" in the instrument slots after I would unload them. When I discovered the stray PC messages in my setup and got rid of them, it stopped.
Could you have something in your setup sending stray PC messages to TJ on other MIDI channels?
Thanks for the reply and help. I doubt it is program change messages however, as I don't utilise program change at all. The fact that it's only on a reboot too and never during use also seems contradictory to this theory. I'll try booting thumbjam last though (usually I boot it second after AUM) in case something is happening during boot up.
Very strange, I'll see what I can find but keep me informed about any more relevant details about reproducing...
Thanks. I performed an uninstall/install and although an audiobus saved state immediately brought back the problem (checked after by closing/loading a few times outside audiobus and problem is the same, so it can't just be saved states) slot 7 remained empty (I think I didn't redownload that sample, while slot 8 was a default one).
I noticed that when unloading the sample on slot 8, the name of the instrument which was loaded there remains in blue as if it was selected. The now empty slot 7 has no instrument higlighted in blue like this and remains empty on reboot.
Also, is there an easy way to duplicate the 8 scale/key presets across all instruments? It seems to automatically populate the first three, but after that each instrument just has black empty slots.
If it's of any use, I figured out a work around: I save a user preset, set all slots to that instrument, empty all slots and then delete that user instrument. They don't return after rebooting the app that way.
