I could save projects that cant open after!

Please try:
1) Overload the project by load some devices (easy by one or two synt with only 4-5 voices)

2) When you go over 100% dsp load, save the project.

3) Try to open the project that U had save.

Surprise!!! U can create projects that U are not able to open in any way!!!

Let me know if the same happen to U.

I lost an important projects of a song that i'm working on!!!

Bye

what's about beckup!?

Backup project had the same problem!

Dear Brain:
You must leave FREE of use arround 10~15% of the DSP , this has been discused years ago with Pulsar I OS ver.1.x.

The DSP allocation is dynamic and nothing can assure you that when you reload the project, the DSP chips will distribute modules in the same places that were when you you create the project.

For your comfort the same happens with Pro-Tools mix Plus and other professional DSP based DAWs.

OK, but if the software WARNING me if I'm saving an overloaded project, that would be much appreciate!

The fact should be reported years ago, but I'm only 2 months that using Pulsar II, and these is another appreciate think to add a warning tho the Software!

It should *never* let you save a project that won't load. This is a CW oversight. I always keep about 10 versions of each file I'm working on at various stages of development in case I want to go back. It would also help somewhat in a case like this. I wouldn't blame users for this problem it clearly should not happen period.

A method I've often had to employ to re-open a DSP-heavy project that makes Pulsar spin its wheels:

Move one of the larger devices (*.dev) used in the project (won't work with modules-*.mdl)into a temporary directory, open the project, then skip the device when Pulsar tries to locate it. You can then rebuild the project.
