Hi all,
Just wanted to dive in and clear up some things as there seems to be some confusion in this thread.
- samples under 2Mb are loaded and edited in RAM
- samples over 2Mb & under 64Mb are streamed, but can be loaded into the waveform editor
- samples over 64Mb are streamed and cannot be loaded into the waveform editor
- limit on the length/size of audio file that can be streamed is dictated by FAT32 SD card file-size limit of 4Gb
- 64Mb is the largest sample that can be recorded.
- 2Mb is the largest sound that can be looped.
How is all this relevant to the original problem:
- Any project that uses disk streaming can (but not necessarily) suffer from timing issues. Rather than impose limits, the S2400 allows you stream every Pad from disk if you choose, but there’s obviously a limit to how quickly an SD card can deliver the data.
- Not all SD cards are equal. We have tested some cards which are terrible at delivering data reliably, even just streaming one sample >2Mb (Lexar I’m looking at you).
- Most importantly to this thread, if you have a project where all samples are under 2Mb AND you’re still experiencing timing issues, please let us know. Either tag me here, or send in a bug report via the website.
Hope that’s helpful.
