Weird text display problem. OTMK2

Anyone had this? It’s strange as it’s only the Elektron folder in “Audio”

Coronavirus?
Only folders name?

@Rusty?

Haha. Don’t think it got COVID…

It’s everything under the “Elektron” folder.

Look like corrupted file system

Is there a limit for name length and the number of sub folders?

I’ve just deleted everything, reinstalled the OS and started again. I had a problem with a project a little while ago after attaching an iPad. When the disc was mounted on the desktop that “Elektron” folder was empty oddly. Fortunately I hadn’t got anything on there I was worried about saving.

Try to format the card from the OT

…in the future…avoid using all those special letters, icons and signs ot has to offer in it’s naming window…same with folders and sample chains u prepare upfront…always name them within ordinary options…

No odd file names used. it was the Elektron folder that comes pre installed

Most likely corrupted segments / data on the CF card. Always back up your Sets/Projects; and do so regularly.

Agreed. Only use UTF-8 characters. a-z, A-Z, space, underscore etc are all good. Using accents and umlauts is not advisable.
