Hello folks, guess what, Im in big trouble here, check this out..

I bought a SRAM card, the amtron 2 mb version, it arrived today, I initialized it, followed all the standard procedures described in the manual, opened my sysex librarian software at my macintosh , sent an old user bank of mine to card bank 01 and when i try to reach that bank I discovered my Andromeda froze!! Thats right everysingle component or feature froze, i turn my andy off, turn it back on, and it is still in a "frozen" mode! I turn it off, take the card out, turn it on, its all fine again. So I realized the soundbank i sent to the card is somehow buggy and harms the whole system and now I cant use my brand new sram card , because if i place it in again and try to change banks, the whole system will freeze again.. HELP!!!

This has recently happened to me as well, only it was on a card that was working fine, kind of. I re-initialised the card and started over and things seemed to clear up. The thing froze up on me at a gig (again!). Remember, those cards run on batteries and they seem to die often.

my card is auto rechargeble though.

i am 100% sure though the problem is the soundbank, its corrupted i believe because when i add it to my regular user bank, it will cause my andi to freeze as well, just not promptly, but after i play a bit around with the patches!

But how to clean my card now? how to reset it?

DUMB QUESTION, i have just dumped a healthy bank to the same spot and its fine though. . its just a shame my previous user bank is corrupted, i had many great patches there .. :/
