Memory Card Problem

7 May 2006, 18:45

Has anyone had a problem using a High Speed/High performance 1GB Pny compact Flash(10MB/SEC) with a Scandisk PC card adaptor in the Fantom X8?
The card seems to format fine and look good in the file utility of the menu, but with only one song short song recorded, I get the error the Memory disk is full and won't save to the Card. I have tried resetting with Factory Reset and Reformatting the disk but the same problem re-occurs.

This is a brand new memory disk and an older one in the same setup works fine.

i'm not a pro at this (if you've read any of my posts here that's an understatement...) but was your previous card a smaller size? i think there's a 512mb limit on system memory so maybe it's choking on the 1g from the flash card?

again -- i doubt i understand what i'm talking about -- but there it is

I regularly use a 1gb card in my fantom X. I think roland claims the maximum to be 2gb...

I think you should backup the contents of the new memory card as soon as possible and bring the card back to the store. It is most likely defective. My memory card failed a few months ago. It sort of worked but things weren't going well.

No, my older memory card was 1GB as well. The only difference is the new memory card is supposed to be faster by 80 times then the previous card. The card works find on mhy computer and allows me to save midi files on the Fantom, the problem comes after I've resampled, normalized the sample and try to save it to the card before turning off the fantom.
I'm thinking now that the Fantom is unable to handle the higer performance, faster card unless someone else here has been able to use one.

Hi Fogg,
on my FX6 I use one Apacer Photo Steno II 1GB CF and one SandiskULTRA II 1GB CF Card.
Both are 10MB/s read - 9MB/s write capable cards.
NO problems.

Yam TX816, SY77, TG77; Kurz PC88; Rol Jv2080, VS1680, Fantom X6; Event 20/20; and my old MPC2000XL returned as midi MASTER

I returned my PnY high speed,high performance (80X) 1gb memory card and got the ScanDisk ULtra II 1.0 GB (10x,9x) and it words perfectly in my ScanDisk PC card Adaptor.

Problem solved now, seems like I had a bad memory card or it was incompatable with the FantomX8

Thanks for the help.
