Hi
I formatted the +Drive and was stuffing the AR with a ton of stuff, when I first started injecting its brains with sample fodder over USB only I had the basic midi speed. (I have a TM-1 so I’m familiar with is speed when its doing ts turbo thing)
A couple of things that I tried before it kicked into life and I was getting what is the TM-1 turbo speeds.
Check SDS and SDS handshake are both ticked, make sure both the USB I/O is highlighted for AR in C6
In AR Global/Midi config/midi port config make sure you have midi in and out set to USB only as having the midi port jointly on can interfere with the speed. (I have these settings permanently set up as another global just for this purpose) I see you have this setup anyway.
I have to ask but just check you have the latest V1.5 of C6 in use.
Boot the AR-Open C6, if the turbo button is not already highlighted try manually setting the turbo speed to x8/other in turbo limit and see if the turbo button is now hopefully engaged (if it hasn’t already done so)
If no joy after these settings, power down the AR, close C6, boot AR, open C6
I think the reason it works like a TM1 is its still effectively using SDS protocols except its got a USB 2 port to play with easily giving the bandwidth.
It indeed works and its not too bad at all, at this point it would be a real killer if you couldn’t at least get your stuff in there at a fairly decent basic speed and with the Turbo SDS even given how ancient and slow it is compared to the speed of USB/compact flash etc its perfectly usable (if you can get it working of course) because AR sample playback and wrecking even at this stage is wonderful.
I suspect in the future with Overbridge and or even with just an AR update dumping samples may well be much easier and even faster as it will just be seen as an additional mountable drive (hopefully, unless of course there is something in the + drive design that dosen’t allow this, I think its just a chunk of RAM/Mini Solid state drive?, anyone know for sure?)
Hope this works for you, I have had it working no problem since mucking around.
PS I’m OSX here just in case there is a platform issue
