new member - samples questions

hello
I'm new to Fantom world... I've recently picked up a FantomS.

I'm quite enjoying importing JP hoovercraft mellotron samples in my Fantom. Now I've downloaded Cesarsound yammy pianos and MZB3 hammond samples. Do i need different smartmedia if I want to use the "fans.svd" file included in each samples archive?

When I save samples can I decide write destination (card or interna user)? where?

The fantom can only read/play one fans.svd file at a time in the card area. You could probably fit more than one on the card but if it has the same name and file structure, this will confuse the fantom. You could rename the Roland folder to allow multiple sets but you would have to rename the folders and reboot the fantom each time you want use a different set of sounds. Thus putting them on seperate smart media allows you to swap them without all the hassle. You can use the librarian software to combine patches but it is limited because it does'nt handle samples and multisamples.
You can write to either destination but remember user memory is 32MB. Hit menu and info to see how much user memory you have remaining. Remove the card if fantom is not allowing you to write to user memory.
