Set/project capacity

It looks like limitation is not capacity of CF card;

My live PA is mostly organized arround Banks and Patterns; One Bank + dedicated pattern = one track…
Some of tracks contain longer samples, and my problem is I can not load new samples anymore even though my CF has enough space.

Any similar situations?

I was thinking about OctaEdit. maybe it is a easyer way to handle such big sets such as mine live. Any suggestions are wellcome. right now, my set is a big mess; some samples are missing, but visible on a CF. it looks like long samples used all internal capacity. I have most of my long samples in static machines.

thanx for any good advice

A while ago I discovered the OT only recognizes the first 99 or 100 samples in a folder. If there are more than that the OT can’t ‘see’ them.
The solution… More folders.

If its not a Flex issue as you say you are using Static, then I’d go with what MusicMagus said, that you have too many physical audio files in the/a folder therefore they are not getting recognised by the Octatrack.

Thanx Musicmagus! I will re-arrange audio folder then. It makes sense!

Just be careful about rearranging samples/folders that are currently being used in your project(s)…the OT will not be able to locate the samples and you will get error messages in the sample slot list. I discovered this the hard way last weekend after spending a bunch of time tidying up the samples on my OT and getting everything in folders.

Thanx. Well it is logical thing. Same as when changing folders on computer, and DAW is unable to locate files.
