another flash card question

9 Jun 2007, 22:27
i have a 512 card that ive used for awhile, i just got a new flash card that has all new samples on it,when i put it in with the samples i have to go to save/load and import audio right? well what is gonna happen when i put the old card back in, will the fantom read it like it was or will i have to load all the samples again and then use that old card?

ok im writing the new samples into the fantom by going save/load load samples then mark set all the highlighted red audio clips and then press the write button then enter "sample" it will load them,


so the next time i put my old card in im gonna have to do this to get the old samples back, why dont they just load automatically when the fantom starts? or some way to have small files that tell which card is being loaded?

the suspense of waiting to see what happens when i load the old 512 card is killing me, hopefully this can be the end all of threads on the card questions

ok, so i re loaded my old 512mb card
and i did not have to go into save/load import audio to get the samples backed, the fantom remembered the card, but now i put it the new one that just loaded b4 that, and i have to go into save/load to get that card back?


can anyone jump in here?

is the first card like a master card? or why doesnt it rememebr the other card i just had to load up b4 i put the old 512 back in?

Is this your blog? :-D

You need to expand your RAM as well, it's like with a computer: RAM is for using the sample data, flash card is like a hard drive.

Your Ram, the 512 DIMM is like a tempory working that vanishes when you turn off the Fantom.

You only need to install that once, then your done.

Your Compact flash card is for storage that does not vanish.


hope this helps

so to sum up what happened here with the flash card and memory is that after i installed 512 mb, i had 3 compact flash cards.
i put each one in the fantom 1 by one and formatted them, i then took them back out and into my pc card reader for my computer and loaded samples into the appropriate dir MENU/FILE UTILITY/CARD/{ENT}Tmp/AUdioimport

when i go to load the cards, each one, i just imported the samples then write them to the memory, next time i take it out and put it back in, the fantom reads the card and the sample when it loads right from the start
