Can't save songs, user area full

3 Sep 2009, 14:05

ok just to fill you in with some info first:

i currently have 126 songs saved on the user area, i'm guessing that's the limit.. because when i goto save a new file it says "USER AREA FULL!"

it won't let me save the new song until i go and delete an old one that i don't need anymore but i'm runnin out of old ones to delete...

so my question is, I have attempted to save it to my compact flash that's plugged into the fantom, but after i do that and then goto "load song" there is nothing on the compact flash card

any help?

The user area is 32 MB, which translates to roughly 100-120 songs. You need to expand your synth with a flash card, then you will be able to save more songs.

Yes, the compact flash card is what you need. However, if it doesn't work you should either format it again or try another card.

Are you sure you're selecting the card area when you're in the song loading screen?

Just try another card, maybe of smaller capacity, like 512 MB. Sandisk should work well.
