Peace,

When I save sequences to my CF card everything seems to be on the up and up. Ive followed the instructions step by step from the owner's manual. Problem I'm having is when I attempt to load the sequence from the card to the unit, the sequence title appears but when I try to play it back all I hear is the metronome (click).
I've tried several cards, saved and labeled different sequences, inspected the slot pins, checked the troubleshooting portion of the manual and everything else that I could think off. I'm hoping it's something simple that I'm overlooking, and someone here can help. I'm just about ready to return the unit to point of purchase, but I wanted to exhaust every option before doing so.

Thnx in advance.

Peace

Are you saving the samples and programs too? Are you loading them? Try saving/loading entire memory.

as it says on page 6 of the manual, a Sequence consists of one or more Tracks, and "Performance data will be recorded on a track as a MIDI event. It does not record sounds directly on a track."

the sounds themselves are saved in Samples, and are assigned to note numbers by a Program (so they can be played by a Track)

so as mp3 says, you need to save samples and programs as well as sequences

the easiest way is to Save Entire Memory
