HELP! V-Synth GT won't convert old V-Synth project

21 Aug 2007, 06:00

Has anybody else come across this problem and solved it? My GT will find old V-Synth projects on USB memory devices but when I ask it to convert them it gets about 57% of the way through the job and then complains of an 'Unknown Disk Error' and gives up.

Before it gives up the GT goes through a list of files that it is processing and the ones it mentions are all of the ones from its own internal memory instead of the ones from the USB memory which I'm wanting to convert. It seems to be trying to convert its own internal memory by mistake!

I've tried two different memory devices with the same result each time. Any suggestions?

You have definitely followed the instructions and placed it in the correctly-named folder? Were you converting a project created under OS2.0?
I've had the process work smoothly here. However, let me know if you work out how to import individual patches - I've looked and can't find a way. It's either your old imported project or all the new stuff as far as I can see.

I had converted 3 projects that used both ROM and custom waveforms with no problems. Make sure that 1) you put them in a folder named "XT", 2) these are OS 2.0 or XT projects. Now go to UTILITY -> Project -> Convert Project and you will see them there.

The project is definitely an OS2.0 project and is saved into a folder named XT but for some reason it just fails each time. I've tried re-saving it from the old V-Synth but the results were the same. Oh well.

I did manage to import an individual patch from the V-Synth project folder by using my computer to copy the file into the GT's Internal memory. As it only used the Analog oscillators and didn't use any of the ROM waveforms it sounded identical and worked straight away - no conversion.
