Hi,
After filling up my 2048 sound slots with some nice ones from M Brauer, Jeanne and others there is no more space on Banks A to H.
Main reason is that the factory sounds already use roughly 40-45% of all slots.
How do you handle that “limitation”?
Do you just empty/delete unused Sounds/Banks and reload them on the ST when you need them?
Well,
in comparison to DT / DTII loading the small ST sounds files works like a breeze and similar to DT’s samples ST’s sounds become part of the project after beeing loaded once into it.
New project. No more factory sounds.

For me personally, having that many saved patches would be totally impractical, and I would be spending time doing a lot of culling and curating.

For an instrument that has several different types of machines, not really. It’s why banks A-E come pre-filled already versus something like Digitone that come prefilled with A-B. I highly recommend using the filters in searching for what you want. SYNTH, BASS, PAD, etc. The Syntakt search results also change in the sound browser depending on whether the track is digital or analog so yes, it is quite the little preset hog.
To answer the OP question, I reserve bank H for my own sounds and whenever it is full I just export them to the computer using Transfer and drop them back in as needed. Also if you don’t know, you can jump to a specific bank in the sound broswer by holding BANK and pressing the relevant trig. It’s how I instantly jump to my own stuff. Syntakt specifically I also sort the digital stuff in H001-128 and analog in H129-256.

Ah sorry I thought you were talking bout sample slots.
Well the answer is quite simple for me. I’d delete all factory sounds.

Good point! More focus on particular sound packs and collections…
True, but my approach is usually to see what a patch is doing and then learn how to quickly get into that territory from a smaller pool of presets on the fly. I just work way faster that way.

With 2048 different presets you might never have to do that
