All banks full - what now?

[Speedy Fingers II]

I have Triton Le 76, and i've been taking and making sounds on it, and now all of my slots are full. I don't really want to store them on the SM card as it means I have to load them up and remove something else when I want to use a certain tone. The reason I need more space is for gigging purposes, as there will be many a patch change.

Are there any external devices I can use to store patches that I can just hook up to the MIDI ports that I can directly use without erasing something else?

[Luca_Capozzi]

nope. you can only do external storage on scsi hard disk drive or smart media.. but you ever need to replace a program on your triton in order to use a new one.

How much would a HD be? Would it be worth it? Would it possibly be the same as having an extra bank, or would I have to access it through media?

[Luca_Capozzi]

dude, you can't have extra banks. Hard disk will be exactly like your smart media card... or like a floppy disk. you can just store pcg files into them and, in order to play those sounds, you need to load them on your workstation.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-it, gringo! How many sounds you need? What does the LE have, like 256 user slots? 256 isnt enough for a gig? I dont think Jordan even uses that many!

It has 64 in the D bank, and the G bank is all MIDI, but I don't know if I want to overwrite those.

use the combi dude, most of the sounds on that are useless techno things anyway, and you could always save or recreate anything you overwrite on that anyway.

Dude,

You have a lot of fucking sounds.



That's all.

here's my suggestion: save all of the preset combi's to a flash card or whatever removable media they have on the Le's. then, start creating COMBI's with all of your sounds (this way you can do layers and splits, etc) for the sounds that you use in your band or whatever. you can literally re-write EVERY combi on that thing, giving you, what...4 banks of 128 combi's each? come on, that is plenty for the night, especially if you get creative and make good splits and such so you're not changing a sound every 3 seconds. then, save all of these combi's to disk, and then if you want to re-load some of your presets and browse through them for more sounds, just load them into a bank, copy the sounds you want to keep elsewhere (or just remember their name and re-load the combi's individually later straight from disk) and then re-load your own combi's that you saved earlier.

like bastardo demono said, most of the presets on that aren't useful for a live setting. you can always re-load a bank with presets when you get home after a gig, and just wait to load your files for playing live til you have a gig next time.

It's not that, it's queueing them up for gigs that take up all the slots, and hephiroth, thanks for the suggestion, i'll probably take that route, as I rarely use most of the combi presets.
