Did you read this thread? The answer might be RIGHT above this post.
One suggested backing up yer OT, empty reset, load your save back to OT.
Ive had it happen a few times, but i just delete them. I assumed it was me loading unacceptable samples, incompatibilty with old project new OS, or just a shitty CF card. I never do anything worth keeping.
Check above yer post. Maybe thatll help.
Just had the dreaded āparse errorā just now. After dismounting from usb disk mode.
One bank is blinking red and unreachable with an error message.
Just saved the project under a new name. Everything went back to normal. original project is definitly corrupted but saving as new made it getting back all the datas.
If that can help someoneā¦
Gather round, gather round, all ye of ill luck!
And I shall tell you of my encounter with the dreaded parse error.
Like @KaOsphere, I too was dismounting from usb disk mode whence the beast did rear itās foul, grotesquely shapeless head.
It had sullen one of my banks! And one of the most devotional, inspired banks I had the privilege of channeling, alas!
Frantically I searched behind space with the aid of the shoggothronix brainuflazer; looking for information, some clue, some cure for this terrible affliction, and gladly I came upon this dusty and archaic thread! The last visitor to these parts had left a glimmer of hope for the next to follow, and so I eagerly took the kind pilgrimās advice to attempt a resurrection with the power of save to newā¦
The bank lived! Praise be Octhulu!
I breathed a sigh of relief. All was not right howeverā¦
My parts! My parts were gone! And some patterns, too! This cannot be, I cried. Woe befalls me once again! I sobbed into my pillow that night.
In the morning I woke with dreary eyes, and the faint glimmer of something lost in the haze behind them. I remembered my plight and my agony renewed. I began to accept the demise of all my hard work, my divine inspiration. But then I thoughtā¦ What if it is not the bank that has been so corrupted? What if it is the project itself that ails thee?
In a flurry I ran to my machines, and wound the heavy electricity crank that did so bring them to life. With thumping heart and quivering hand I paused over the option which was my last bastion against the evisceration of redemption; project RELOAD.
I waited with baited teeth as the progress bar filled before four or five of my twitchiest eyes. What proceeded to appear before me then was nothing less than a miracle.
Everything was as it had been once more! Praise be Octhulu! Praise be Grandmaster Sezare! Praise be Doktor Rusty! I turned from the gently pulsing screen with a smile on my face and returned to the shoggothronix brainuflazer to upload my experiences. I hope this account may be of service to the next traveller to be imperiled by this wicked corruptor of the sacred data.
Hilarious and helpful. 
I enjoyed that so much, Iām only slightly mad about the intricate piano sample I delicately sliced 39 times, arranged and effected, being yeeted into the nothingsphere.
I recommend to try Bank Reload if there is a faulty bank, after a Parse Error. It replaces active project bank by saved project one, supposing you have saved it.
And if you use SAVE AS NEW, it just copy active project, so it doesnāt repair the faulty bank, it is replaced by a new one.
Btw after SAVE TO NEW you donāt have a save state. I recommend to use SAVE just after, so that you can RELOAD from that state.
Hi there, fellow Octatrackers from the past!!!
I come from the future with little hope. Iāve come across this error today, after turning back on my OT. Tried all of the above, without success, or at least some form of it, partially.
Apparently thereās a bank (which wasnāt the one I was working on) which has become corrupt with no apparent reason. Saving to new seems to recover the sequences, but not the parts, as someone stated in a previous post. Reloading the project only pops the same āPARSE ERRORā message on screen again and again.
I formatted my CF and copied the files back to it but nothing changed. Any suggestions? I sadly lost a track which I was hoping to play on my next live set :(. I guess I could re-make it, but itās so frustrating. I now feel FEAR as I keep on working on my OT as my setupās brain/superior entity/godlike performance sampler/ruler-of-them-all.
P.S.: Iām running OT on OS 1.40B
