can i load an SVD file?

11 Sep 2007, 23:40

is it possible for me to have a bunch of fantom.svd files on a memory card, and load them into user memory ad hoc? or must they only be in the sounds directory and loaded at boot time?

if that is the case, then it's my recommendation that Roland upgrade their OS so that I could keep 10 sets of patches on a memory card, and load them at will through the save/load command.

Here is some info about setting up folders on a card.
------------------------------------------------------------
have one card with multiple folders done on a pc and just swap the fans file using file utility to and from your card bank.

I rotate my card bank patches and can access different sets of 256 at a time just by using the copy function with the fans svd folder in file utility. I just pull my CF card out and push it back in and the new patches will register.

Here are some links for help

I use it all the time.

Plus your song (svq) files store patches as well.

thanks

thanks for the tip. it would be nice if I could label all the sounds: set1.svd, set2.svd, etc.
then load them at will. the copying from one location to another, writing over what's in that physical location, is a pain that isn't necessary if Roland updated their OS.

But I do label the folders and then just use the copy button in file utility to replace what is in user or card memory. It is very easy once you get your head around it.

However the folder names I did on a PC. I trust you have access to a PC?

I'm not getting anything under the card selection after I scroll through the pre's it takes you to card. I extract the files from winzip. load them to my cf card directly to the card fans snd file folder. nothing. what could i be doing wrong?

I see the fans.svd folder is in the proper place, but I'm still getting INIT patch reading. yes I followed all the steps for loading card patches not user patches.

same results every time. I don't get it. I've only 1 time laoded card media patches i don't even know how I did it. I know it's something silly I'm doing wrong ,but i followed the steps correctly. thanxs.
