1gb CF Card Kingston, no good with FantomX

Post by picaja »

Yesterday I bought a 1 Gb CF card from Kingston.
Scrolling the sample list or songlist is VERY slow to impossible,
compared to the 512Mb sandisk.

Do NOT buy a 1gb card from Kingston!

How much is on your 1GB card, because my 512 is very slow also and I was thinking of jumping up to 2GB because it near full capacity...

460 Mb is used and filled mainly with big AIFF files and scrolling is normal speed.
I also have about 150 midi files on the card, not only songs but also converted syx files to midi for my other synths.

Is it possible to insert 512 mb memory and use 128 or 256 cf card. This is the question which is going through my mind. Is it possible.???

yes, you can use whatever CF size you like - as long as its big enough to hold the data that you want it to.

My CF card is a 1GB from Kingston and it's been working perfectly for over a year.
