Can't get CF card to work

25 Apr 2005, 23:15

I need some guidance with the CF storage card. I want to simply load some standard MIDI files into my Fantom X7. I have formatted the card, moved my Cakewalk files to the card and plugged it in. The keyboard reads the card, but there is no data. Rechecked the card on my computer and the file is there. Seems like the keyboard is recognizing the card but can't find the data. Any suggestions ?

Thanks, Rick

Rick - Fantom S/X uses its own directory structure on CF card. You need to initialize the card on the fantom, make sure that you backup anything that you have on the card coz fantom will erase the card. Once initialized, the midi files (they need to be GM files with .MID extension) need to be in a specific directory on the card, check File Utility section in the manual for the directory. If I'm not mistaken, it's:

\ROLAND\SEQ\SNG

directory.
