Is there any way to delete a sample loaded into the userwave section? I can browse and change the sample easily but I cant figure out how to delete an unused sample lingering in a patch I made.

Here is a trick:

Save the patch made with Europa and then open it with a text editor.
Select a portion of the text in XML file, starting with ' <Samples>' and ending with ' </Samples>' and replace that section with ' <Samples/>'.

Also change the text at the bottom of the file starting with ' <Value property="item" type="sample" > and ending with ' </Value> into ' <Value property="item" type="sample" />''

Save the file and then reload the new version in Europa.

Hope this helps.

Another (kinda) workaround:
  • Open browser
  • Navigate to "Song-Samples"
  • Open "Assigned Samples" (I hope this is the correct English name)
  • There you find your instance of Europa (with repatch icon)
  • Open Repatch folder
  • Inside you'll find the sample
  • Remove the sample, it then also disappears in the Europa instance
Done!
