sampler-in-max-6-1

In Max 7, I have noticed a unusual behavior with groove~ and overdrive turned on. It looks like a small portion of the old buffer remains in the object when it's being switched to a new buffer and is being heard when a new event is generated. I'm attaching two sound files, one generated with Max 6.1, the other with Max 7.

Also, when I execute the following sequence I can hear how the sound hangs for a fraction of a second, which shouldn't be the case with overdrive on. It seems the issues are related.

3. On the right side, set output level to a non-zero value, start the sequence

4. During playback, successively open and close the sidebar Max console or any window for that matter

I was wondering whether 1. someone else on this forum has similar issues with groove~ and 2. whether anyone can confirm my observation.

1. Turn on Overdrive
2. Open the patch 03iMIDISampler.maxpat
