Flash Memory Full? Subject description: Problem |
|
|
Hi,
I just got a nord modular rack second hand,
I try to save modified patches by pressing "Store" and it says "Wait!" and then "Memory Full" and doesn't save changes.
I can't also donwload a bank to the synth with the editore (os x) and it says "Dump Error".
Also Save to Synth in the Editor return with error Flash Error: Flash Memory Full
Memory protect in Synth Settings is set to OFF
How can I free some memory?
Help would greatly appreciated!
thanks |

Hi
It's something to do with having empty patches within the string of patches. So say on my Micro I've got 00-39 full of patches, but 40-41 has no patches saved, then 42-99 has patches, I'll get the same problem. You have to locate those memory 'bubbles' and fill them in. It's a strange bug that Clavia never fixed
I hope that helps _________________ ACHTUNG!

And how do you do fill them in when you can't save patches to the synth?
I've just recieved a Modular Rack (excellent condition btw, not a scratch on it), and noticed the same thing: Can't save patches into the synth because of flash memory errors.
My first reaction was to download all the banks from the synth and reinstall the latest OS, which, as a side effect, should wipe the memory clean. It didn't.
So how do I erase the flash memory? Where's the "factory reset" when reinstalling the OS doesn't seem to work? |

Oh, forget it. Turns out it was much simpler than I thought. Deleting a couple of banks patch by patch from the browser was all it took.
And here I was looking for ways to run the Windows version of the 2.1 OS installer to downgrade and then upgrade to 3.03 to erase the flash memory (PC went and died on me!). |

i had the same problem when i got my modular. here's what i did:
1. back up all the patches on computer
(i gave each bank it's own folder, don't bother creating a bank file)
2. create an empty folder (Empty Bank)
3. download to synth>>select folder (Empty Bank)>>choose synth bank
this will create a bank on the synth with no patches on it, freeing up flash memory. then you can load the backed up patches by folder/bank to the synth and it will effectively replace the "bubbles" with patches.
so if there were patches from 00-39, 40-41 blank, and patches from 42-99, when you reload the bank from the folder, it will fill patches 00-97 and leave 98-99 blank.
if the flash memory is completely full, writing a blank folder to a single bank should correct the problem. then you can save new patches and downlad old patches to the empty bank. |

Hi, today i've tried for the first time to download to synth folders full of patches...but i got errors.
Im running under OSX 10.6.8.
One error could be: 134 memory full (when trying to download to Bank 1)
Also i'm not able to let the Empty folder trick to work....if i ask the Editor to download this Emoty bank it says, of course, that there's not patch files in it, so it gives error.
What could I do?
Thanks a lot!!!

***EDIT***
ok..got something working: deleted for, say, Bank-1 patches one by one form the Editor's browser. Then downloaded a complete Bank to it.....Dump OK
Then i created an Empty Bank with blank patches (100 copies of the same blank patch...). I downloaded it to Bank-2 and Dump OK.
Then, still to Bank-2, i downloaded another folder...all OK.
So it seems that i get an error when there's already a patch to be replaced and, also, that this (those) patch are not small....(as an empty patch)
