Imagine showing this photo to Duke Ellington, or Mozart, or Beethoven, and saying, "Yes, these are both legitimate musical instruments. "
We really do live in amazing future time right now.

Wow! Yeah…that’s my fear as time goes on and I start filling the card up more and more.
Not normal, i have a regular sandisk 128 card with about 50gb of data on it and my tv boots empty projects in about 1 minute MAX
Same here, just loaded 8GB of samples and TV starts and loads a simple project as before (30 seconds or so)

if booting up means to you, that it’s just showing the elektron logo, then it takes just a minute for me as well. but if i then open an empty project for example, it takes 10-12 minutes until instruments/ multisample or subtrack presets show up. (if i press FUNC + SRC to add an instrument to an empty track, it’s empty).
Is that the case for you too? @Opposyte
Mod Edit : This loading sluggishness appears to be due to using a different SD card than the provided one
Right. We’re talking about the spinning “loading” thing in the upper left corner. Not the splash page.
I would say for normal sample use no, if it’s just volume change no point taking up disk space. However some have talked about using velocity to select between totally different samples as a way to have lots of samples stored in one subtrack for example.

Thanks for the reply! I thought as much.
That second part sounds too complicated for my time a bandwidth.
An entirely different sample is less static than the same sample with less gain.
Is there any way to route send FX to a bus? That would be such a great feature, and would allow the ability to create really interesting delays and reverbs.

That would very cool, if possible.
No, loading the presets and all takes time yes, but never THAT long… i would definitely try using another sd card and see if that fixes it.

Is the insane loading times something that can actually be fixed in a firmware update or is it a hardware issue?
are you using ableton live ? maybe you could try deleting all those .asd files : this can easily double the file number and they are no use on tonverk. also a lot of sample packs comes with .txt files and pdf . maybe there’s room for improvement ?
It’s a good thought, but no. I use Logic. And the bulk of my sample library comes from Samples from Mars, so I’ve cleaned out all the pdf and txt files, and have only loaded the specific loops and samples that I want, not simply whole folders of stuff.
bummer ! i have only 7gb on my sdcard, a new project is loading fast but my last project needs 1m12 to save the project ( 2 patterns bank & a half ). it’s not a whopping 10-12 minutes as you but def too long for me. try reducing the sample quantity or erase the factory content to try out ( back up it you erase factory )
Mod Edit : This quoted loading sluggishness appears to be due to using a different SD card than the included one
I haven’t had the 10-12 minutes problem yet. I believe that was @sylvain93. Mine has been more in the 3-4 minute range. I have about 5G on mine, I think they have about 30G on theirs.
As a blanket statement for those lurking - I would like to say that this is just a minor quibble I have with the TV. Otherwise, I really love this machine!

yes i’m starting to really like what’s coming out of this device also

I’m no expert, but I imagine it would be hard to say. Some of this is limited by hardware design choices; e.g. they went UHS-I which has a max read/write speed of 104MB/s instead of the UHS-II standard which is three times this (312 MB/s).
That said, I expect they can optimize on what the system is currently doing. I assume so, at least, but that might just be naive optimism on my part (i.e. I’m simply guessing they haven’t optimized it 100% right out of the gate, as that would speak to a level of coding skill beyond what I think they have based on other bugs, so some degree of improvement seems likely and possible, but whether they’re capable, and those changes bring meaningful returns is anybody’s guess).

ruff approx calculation lets say 30 gb equals 30 720 meg divide by 104 = 295,384s divide by 60 = 4,92 so 10-12 min is to much.
it reminds me when windows is bugging, the circle keeps on turning and nothing happens. i think it’s a process gone bad , and the timeout is either too high or the task has completely failed , but in fact he process is finished ( for exemple a windows update that keeps on forever , after 1 H you decide to turn off the computer thinking your windows is dead and the reboot after all is good and update completed ). 
yes it’s going to be a fantastic machine but we need to be patient.
i would not have bought one if i didn’t trust Elektron
