Thanks, I wouldn’t refuse it. :
Every (parts of my) body needs a 303.
Btw, I’m fine with my cheap xOx Heart clone + A4, don’t need a real one. Feel free to send me one anyway!

Nope. Thanks, why not, as the card seems full.
I think it’s possible to recover files, but still find it sad and depressing, because my computers are fucked too…

Before your message I couldn’t post mine because I had the message “sorry, an error…”
and wanted to post a kind of “Fuck Elektronauts too” message but…
Thanks for posting!
And sorry for off topic and future split! :smile:

Hmm…
Maybe we can flip this around. :thinking:

Perhaps your old projects were keeping you in certain areas and by creating a new fresh project you will be unbound by the shackles of your old project structure and birth a new, better, even more awesome project, perhaps combining the best elements you’ve learned from the other ones into a new master project that rules them all! :smile:

Did it most of the time, hence to much projects, but I used 11 banks for the last experiments project.

That’s the way I think of it, that deserves a banana split. I’d need rhum for bananas…:banana:
Everything lost makes back up easier.

You should. There might be something wrong with the OT’s card reader.

Try just ejecting it and reseating it too…

Thanks to insist. I’ll try. I’d be even more disappointed if it would be OT’s card reader’s fault. Would surprise me. Once again that’s a radical problem before an eventual live show.

And once again I think I turned off OT quickly before project CF loading, wanting to use Machinedrum only.

That would be a logical explanation.

All projects and AUDIO folder are not accessible, except the last project. The SET folder PRESET is still there. I could access it in OT after creating an AUDIO folder with File Manager, so I guess the minimum requested for OT is a folder with an AUDIO folder in it to detect it as a SET.

I’m also a photographer. Redundancy is a must in 2019. Next gen hi-end devices that rely on removable storage should all provide redundancy.

Provide? We just have to remember to occasionally copy the cf card to somewhere or two as backups, no?

Something like dual card?
Why not. I’m totally aware of that unreliable storage things, I can’t complain, but…harder and harder to rely on things nowerdays… :slightly_frowning_face:
My old Ot still works.
:smile:

Yes of course. All modern camera semi-pro to pro bodies have them. Be it a music gig or a photoshoot, you can’t afford to suddenly lose your files.

I mentioned “nex-gen hi-end devices that rely on removable storage”. Currently, we can only back-up on a computer and make sure we have the back-ups up-to-date and the computer within reach, and the recover procedure rehearsed so not to loose time or your nerves. Been doing that for decades…

Ahh yes…
Sorry, I totally appreciate your input but somehow I just seem to miss some detail or not infer something that keeps me from fully getting what you say… :slight_smile: It’s happened a few times now… Haha. :smile:

Yes sorry, I’m perhaps seeing things too much from a professional point of view. I’ve always been paid for gigs, so even if I’m still learning the OT and working on this new project I always see things from that angle.

haha I too sometimes go a little crazy trying to get it ~exactly~ how I want it, but it was getting late, I had more work to do, and I like to subscribe to a “if it works, don’t $&% with it more than you need to” philosophy!

Thanks for the tip, too! @Open_Mike

Hah, we went nuts on your thread. Some of us super geek octanauts will read some stuff and then go off on a crazy tangent exploring all possible methods to do something we haven’t fully explored yet. It’s kinda like a game for us. For newer OT users it probably can make things more confusing than help. I thought I should remind folks that you already had a solution and we were just spiraling away. :smile: Then it was @sezare56’s birthday so we got a little silly with inside jokes and all… Thanks for hosting… :smiley:

Happy to! :nerd_face: I’ve been at the OT for about 6/7 months now, but working seriously at it for only 2-3 months out of that time. I’ll be spending a lot more time here picking up some tips and tricks as I put my new live set together, which is very much OT-centered!

Honestly, the Elektron forums might be the most responsive/helpful and welcoming out of all the audio production ones that I spend time in… @Open_Mike

Very true. Never been on a product forum with this amount of jokes/puns! You’d get banned on some forums for posting cartoon pics!

This forum is very active, were often chatting back and forth or figuring something out in near real time…
