Hey there !
I am reorganising my CF Card for a gig, and created a new Set on my MAC to move some projects there.
The Set is not visible on the Octatrack. I suppose it is because I created the Set (folder) on the computer ?

Yes you have to create the set in the Octatrack then you can move your project files over.
It shouldnāt make any difference how and from where the set folder gets created, but have you also created the āAUDIOā folder within the set folder? Otherwise a set folder may be invalid/incomplete.

Shouldnāt matter. What have you called the Set?
Donāt use illegal charactersā¦
You should have a folder structure such as:
No, you can create on computer perfectly fine.

ā¦easier u stay with one setā¦and one audio poolā¦
just create one new folder containing all u need for ur new live set and drop that in the audio pool of the set u already gotā¦
big advantage is, u can still also use all the rest whenever u like or changed ur mindā¦within the same actual projectā¦
set is main directoryā¦if u set up more of them, ur always restricted to the exclusive audio pool of that new setā¦
so itās way more handy to have a good folder structure in the audio pool and stay always and only with one setā¦

ā¦but if u do so, take care, via ur computer, to get rid of that new created set againā¦
pick that folder u created for that new audio pool and place it in the āoldā one, then erase the abandoned set againā¦otherwise ur card keeps that xtra storage space for no further needsā¦
Thatās the key probably, I had the same issue the other way round (Set visible on the OT but not on the Mac) because I used special characters. After renaming it I could access it as usual.
They shouldnāt be used anywhere; regardless of software/hardwareā¦ might look cool using an umlaut, yen sign or old nordic rune; but one day it might come back to bite you. Honestly donāt think they should even be an option.
I didnt create the AUDIO folder, that must have been itā¦
The naming was pretty standart.
thanks !
