I thought about adding a delete, but none of the other Sonoma apps seem to do this. Basically it's a list where new items get pushed on the top, and old items get dropped off the bottom. They don't use up any RAM, so there's no real need to delete them other than a tidy state of mind maybe.

The topmost list entry is the Intua pasteboard. Whenever you do a copy it's actually copied twice - once to the Intua pasteboard, and then a second time to the next 'free' entry in the Sonoma list.

So are the files being stored in the NS app or somewhere else?

Hi,
I just thought about the Same Thing.
The audition of the listed items is still available, so somewhere they seem to allocate memory.
Is there any (general) sollution to access or delete those content ?
Thanks.

"So are the files being stored in the NS app or somewhere else?" I've often wondered the same. Where are the actual files? Not that I need to access them, but I still don't quite understand how they've managed to subvert the clipboard. or is it just a mass of data in the clipboard that they're managing intelligently somehow?

...asked to Sonoma support and they did a fast repley:

(...)

(...)

So I think with Intua it´s the same (?)

Really would like to have a access/delete feature to this area, even Sonoma or Intua...if this feature can not be solved with NS itself because of technical reason, maybe you can also contact the support and ask for it, so that they see the need ;-)

If not integrated in the interface, maybe a small app to manage is possible...

You can actually clear the Intua pasteboard from within Beatmaker (at least the original Beatmaker, I don't have Beatmaker 2). You just go to the file menu (in the pads section) and scroll the 4th page down for the clipboard, and there's an option to clear the clipboard there.

Please help, pasteboard problem.
Hi.
I have 13 items on pasteboard that I moved over from Rebirth, but I can only paste 8 of them to use. If I try any others I get "PASTE FAILED"..."NO FILES WERE PASTED".

Any advice???
They are not large files at all.
Is there some sort of limit to how many samples can be pasted at once?
Thanks.

This is normally reported when the Sonoma copy/paste operation returns a failure. Taking a peek at their code, some possibilities might be:

- File very large or zero sized
- Wav file header dodgy, or not a wav file
- Pasteboard corrupted or in a bad way
- Couldn't create a temp file

It seems that you can't do much about any of these as a user. Might be worth checking that your device has a resonable amount of storage memory free, and you're not trying to paste to a read-only folder (although NanoStudio should grey out the paste button in this case). Failing that, try copying them again or attempt to scientifically pin down the differences between the files that will paste and the files that won't.

You could try pasting them into another compatible app (if you have one) to see if it works there.

Thanks a lot.
I just made them again and pasted them again and it worked the second time. I don't know what the problem was but...

Thanks for responding and for being so responsible for your app.
I love nanostudio and am so happy with it! I have been waiting for music-making technology to become affordable for the average person and cannot believe the time is here.
