I don't think that the soft version is important about that ...
As long as you're using the 2.1G or 3.1 (& 3.11)...
I think that you need to put the system software as the first file on
the disc after the formatting ...
& It should be OK...
Therefore I never have been able to do it myself ...& I don't know
why ...
But Dave did it for me ...So it's possible.
& Yes Roland...
forget about partitioning in sections an HD in the SDX...
SDX will do it by itself !
the sDx will recognize & format any HD from 0 to 70 M°...
If I remember well ...There are 2 formatting operations ; the 1st one
so the SDX recognises the HD (Format all)
& the second one to make disks slots on it so you can use them (the
real partitioning operation).
"Format all disc" or something like that ..
for all these you'll have to ignore messages like "error", "BAd
Format " & keep insisting ...
It's a weak operation... that I did many times but is strangely
happening differently each time...I never understood...Welcome to
SDX ...
ABOUT FORMATING ;
YOU CAN HAVE 40 DISK SLOTS ON EACH SYQUEST (or removable) DISK or 70M
°'s one...
DO NOT SAVE MORE THAN 54 INSTRUMENTS & 100 SAMPLES TO EACH DISK
SLOT (as long as you have disk space left...)
or you'll start to erase the previous saved ones without any warning
message...
just next time you'll load them ; the famous SDX user haunting message
"can't find... instr...drum ...kit ...etc.. " ...
STRONG RECOMMENDATION ;
MAKE SOME MASTER DISKS !!! & USE SOME COPIES WHEN YOU CARRY OUT
YOUR EDITING ...
If YOU'RE USING MIDI CONNECTION, UNPLUG THE MIDI CABLE WHILE STARTING
THE SYSTEM !!! or it will probably cause the SDX to crash. depending
of the Soft used...
2.1G IS GOOD For TRIGGERING (pads software)
3.11 KEYS & SEQUENCER
There is a 3.11 versions with pad software from the 2.1G (no
sequencer) which some people are using in preference of the 2.1G
it seems to be good from external sequencing work.
I can't remember what I am usually using...
If you're still experiencing some problems I 'll send you the detailed
process of the Format section !
I remember it's been difficult too for me at the beginning...
It should help ;- )
