Need some help setting up zynsampler

Hi all,

Today I tried setting up zynsampler. I want to use it as a bitbox kinda device.
i have a lot of old .wav samples and I tried to get them running on the zyn.

I found the manual on wiki, where it says that you can put samples on the SD card, but also on any usb-data device.
as you can guess, I didn’t get it to work. I assume that my usb stick was wrongly formatted (but I am a linux noob).

What I would like to do is have a stick that works both on my MacBook (to load samples) and also on the Zynth, so I can use them while performing.

Is this even possible? I find it to much hassle to change samples on the sd-card. (I have a lot so to keep track, I don’t want thousands of samples on my synth, but only the 10-20 that I want to use at that time.

Can somebody help me with this matter (if it is possible of course)

Thank you in advance.
Best!

Should be.
The zynsamper preset option will show you the listing.

Press the Back encoder and you should be presented with the source selection menu…

I just added a WAV folder to a USB stick and threw some WAV’s in it. As you can see this has been picked up and I’e played them.
I don’t have a mc so am unable to advice from that side, but if you plug your USB stick in and record something with zynsampler it should be recorded onto the stick and a MAC should be able to see it. Once you have files moving one way you should be able to manipulate your files from both sides of the connection.

Remember you will need to have the files accessible somewhere. A snapshot will complain if it can’t find the audio where it expected it.

thank you for your quick reply. I will try again. I thought it was due to a usb stick that was exfat formatted and I thought that would never work, so I didn’t spend much time on the issue, first I wanted to know if it is possible at all.

Most default to fat32 as a lowest common denominator. Even Apple.

let me try that! sitting behind my setup now

works like a charm! thank you. it was the exfat that was not working. fat formatted works perfect.
Thank you for your time!
